FOREWORD

BY ALLEN J. WIENER

One afternoon during the early 1980s, I wandered into one of the used record stores I eventually came to haunt on a regular basis, and began my customary browse through the Beatles bin. I was confused, but pleasantly surprised, upon discovering an album called BEATLES BROADCASTS, which sported an attractive cover with an embossed color photo of the Fab Four. I was puzzled by the album's track listing, which included such unfamiliar song titles as Clarabella, Soldier Of Love, Lend Me Your Comb, and Hippy Hippy Shake. I was even more baffled by another album in the bin, which seemed at first a black parody of the celebrated WHITE ALBUM, right down to the Beatles' name stamped on the cover. The track listing inside the ebony gatefold was even more exotic than the one on BEATLES BROADCASTS, containing song titles like Tennessee, Commonwealth, and Hi Ho Silver.

Only later would I realize that these were not authorized Beatles releases, but underground bootleg records that contained material otherwise unavailable to fans of the Liverpudlians. BEATLES BROADCASTS featured songs that the group had recorded exclusively for BBC Radio programs, while the gatefold I had opened proved to be the entrance to THE BLACK ALBUM, a collection of outtakes recorded during the January 1969 filming of LET IT BE. During the years that followed those initial discoveries, hundreds of new Beatles bootleg records and CDs would appear, affording listeners a chance to hear dozens of live Beatles concert performances, radio and television appearances, and studio outtakes that were never officially released. While the sound quality on many early discs were often dicey, many later releases featured astonishingly good sonics, including improved reissues of earlier material. Underground sound took a giant leap forward with the advent of the compact disc, a format that bootleggers were quick to co-opt.Bootlegs presented a less-varnished Beatles portrait in sound than the group's official releases could. Here were hours of studio trial-and-error, including conversations among the Beatles, that provided first-hand insight into the creation of the most influential music of the 1960s. Other bootlegs captured the hysteria and unpolished performances that characterized most of the group's Beatlemania-era concerts, or the jocular fun they enjoyed on BBC Radio in their early years. The Beatles themselves took a dim view of this illicit use of their material, which afforded them no control over the releases or income from their sale. They steadfastly insisted that the material was below Fab standards for public release, and had thus remained in the can. After fighting the bootleggers for decades, with virtually no success, the Fabs finally gave in and released three ANTHOLOGY albums filled with the very recordings they had previously found unfit for human consumption. ANTHOLOGY'S release was an acknowledgement of public interest in recorded Beatles 'rough drafts', a point brought home when each of the three albums reached number one on Billboard's album chart, all within a twelve-month period. More than a quarter-century after their breakup, the Beatles became the first recording artists in history to accomplish that feat, and they did it with the kind of material that bootleggers had been marketing for decades, over their objections.As both the scope and quality of bootleg material escalated, Beatles collectors found it increasingly difficult to keep up with it all. It was not always clear where the recorded material had come from since bootleggers often misrepresented dates and sources. Collectors were sometimes lured into purchasing material that had simply been recycled from earlier releases, and some bootleggers were not above pawning off non-Beatles recordings as the genuine article.It wasn't long before books and newsletters devoted to this forbidden fruit began to spring up. Among the few that provided both useful information and an entertaining format was Belmo's Beatleg News, a fanzine that offered reviews and descriptions of new bootlegs, amusing observations on the bootleg scene, inside intelligence on new underground discoveries, and clever original art work. Unlike its competitors, Belmo's Beatleg News refused to take itself too seriously, and it never lost sight of the need to preserve the joy and fun that had originally kindled interest in these recordings.Thus, it seems both logical and inevitable that this comprehensive Beatles bootleg reference should be produced by Belmo himself. As his avid readers would expect, the volume is an extensive compilation of Beatles underground titles, including recordings made during their solo years, an era often ignored by Beatles scholars and discographers. In describing more than 1,000 Beatles bootlegs, it provides valuable additional guidance to collectors by distinguishing worthwhile from disposable discs. In short, it is the reference that most long-time Beatles collectors have wished for, and it is indispensable to newcomers lured into those forbidden Beatles record bins. It is certain to become one of the most dogeared, frequently-thumbed volumes on Beatles bookshelves everywhere.*Allen J. Wiener is the author of The Beatles: The Ultimate Recording Guide.

SPECIAL THANKS

My very special thanks to my friend Bob Walker of The Hot Wacks Press for all his support, ideas and the immense database which made the preparation of this book a great deal easier. Without Bob's Beatles information I would probably be working until the next millennium to compile all the data found in Not For Sale. If the readers of this book are not familiar with Bob's Hot Wacks books, then I would highly recommend you search them out because the information on bootlegs (by hundreds of rock artists) compiled within their pages is invaluable.

DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to my wife, Terri - the love of my life.

INTRODUCTION

By Belmo

You were standing at the station with a bootleg in your hand...*Bootlegs have been given a bum rap. For over twenty years the media and members of 'official' Beatledom have castigated bootlegs and those who manufacture and sell these underground records. These people (who should know better and probably do) have done everything in their power to make 'bootleg' a dirty word. I am here to tell you different. Because if you love Beatles music, then you cannot help but love the music on Beatles bootlegs (well, most of it anyway).Sure, I know bootlegs are illegal to manufacture and sell. I know the pros and cons of bootlegging can be argued for hours. And I understand why the artists and their record labels are opposed to bootlegs of their music. As an artist myself I can even sympathize with them. However, as a collector I see a tremendous value in bootlegs. The most obvious value is the preservation of musical artifacts for collectors and historians for this and future generations. I openly thank the bootleggers for saving the hundreds of hours of music (and thousands of songs) which would have been lost otherwise. This historically important music can now be studied and enjoyed for many years to come.Additionally, it is my belief that had it not been for the popularity of 'Beatlegs', The Beatles would not have released the BBC and ANTHOLOGY series in the 1990s. This is true for many other artists and record labels as well, and is evidenced by the proliferation of boxed sets filled with 'rarities' and of the reissued albums complete with 'bonus tracks'. Heck, Frank Zappa even reproduced actual bootlegs right down to the artwork in his series of releases called BEAT THE BOOTS.

In recent years, new laws in Europe, the United States, the Far East, Canada and Australia have forced bootleg manufacturers even further underground. Distributors and retailers have been the victims of crackdowns, shakedowns and arrests. Still, the flow of bootlegs continue and probably always will. Why? Because music fans and collectors demand them. And until the record companies and their artists give the buying public what they want, bootlegging will exist at some level.There was a time not so very long ago when bootlegs and traders' tapes were in the possession of only a few persistent collectors and hard core fans. That era encompassed the years of the late Sixties and into the late Seventies. But in the early Eighties something extraordinary occurred when amazing outtakes started popping up on finely produced vinyl records (such as the NEMS Records series) and later on compact discs (ULTRA RARE series from Swingin' Pig). This time is now referred to as "The Golden Age of Bootlegs." This period culminated in the mid-Nineties when The Beatles released the six compact discs in their highly successful ANTHOLOGY series of 'official' outtakes, demos and live tracks. Millions of fans who had previously been ignorant of the existence of bootlegs or who had believed all that misinformation about the supposed 'nas-tiness' of bootlegs had suddenly come around to the pleasures of Beatles outtakes.Bootlegging The Beatles had come full circle.I fear that most of the significant and available (in the hands of private individuals) Beatles unreleased music has been bootlegged. By 1997 the Beatlegs being produced were mostly of previously released music and (with a few notable exceptions) offered little in the way of new music. Unhappily, the bootleggers had reverted to their old methods of reissuing material with new titles and packaging. However, solo outtakes and concert material were still coming to light but at a snail's pace.Since the beginning of 1970 when I purchased my first Beatles bootleg (KUM BACK), I have acquired an additional 900 Beatlegs at an investment of nearly $15,000. In the years since there have been well over 1800 group and 600 solo titles released to a ravenous public hungry for new Beatles music. Certainly there is no way a collector can hope to collect all those titles - and there is really no reason you'd want them all. Much of the music is repeated on discs and sometimes the sound quality on many of the records is just plain awful.In 1987 I first began publishing my Beatles bootleg newsletter which I called Belmo's Beatleg News. It's purpose was to make sense of the new 'Beatleg' releases which had begun to pop up at an ever increasing rate. Hot Wacks bootleg discographies (see page 438 in book) also tried to decipher bootleg releases of nearly all the major rock artists. It was a daunting task. L.R.E. King authored two Beatles bootleg discography books (Do You Want To Know A Secret? and Fixing A Hole) in the late 1980s and Charles Reinhart wrote You Can't Do That in the early 1980s. All three books are good but have since become outdated. And in 1995 Jim Berkenstadt and I coauthored Black Market Beatles - a history of bootlegging and an in depth look at Beatles bootlegs (see page 437 in book). And while that book touched upon some of the major Beatlegs, detailed analysis was left for the book you are now holding in your hands.The purpose of this book is to fill the gaps left by those books and others like them. Should you attempt to locate the bootlegs reviewed herein, you may find it difficult as production runs were generally limited to a few hundred per title or to maybe several thousand copies of the more successful titles. Also, I cannot tell you where to find bootlegs. This book is a discography - not a catalog. I neither manufacture nor sell bootlegs. So please do not ask.I am aware that when writing a book of this magnitude errors and omissions may sometime occur, so feel free to write me with corrections and additions (include documentation!) so that I can correct the mistakes before the next printing. Thanks and keep on Beading!*HI HI HI (Paul McCartney)

DISCOGRAPHY: AN EXPLANATION

Not For Sale has been divided into categories and chronologically (where possible) to make it easier to access the information. For instance, if you want to look up The Beatles' 1965 Paris performances, you need only go to TOUR YEARS: PARIS 1965 to find the bootlegs relating to those performances. In the sections where a chronology is not feasible (such as COLLECTIONS, DEMOS & ODDITIES), I have arranged the titles alphabetically or in sub-categories. In some cases there is crossover of titles for which I could find no way around, so you will find a few titles listed more than once. It is not uncommon for a bootleg to have one side BBC songs and the other GET BACK sessions. There are no rules when it comes to compiling a bootleg. A number of past bootleg discography books arranged the titles just alphabetically. While that makes it easy to find the bootlegs when you know their names, it serves little purpose when you need to locate comparable subject matter (such as ABBEYROAD outtakes). So I have followed my own sense of logic as to how the discography should be organized. It seems to work. If it doesn't work for you, just remember the words of that great philosopher as preserved forever on Melvin's BEATLES VS DON HO: "If we haven't done everything we could have done, we tried".

Not For Sale is arranged in the following manner:

THE BEATLES (GROUP BOOTLEGS)THE EARLY YEARS: This chapter focuses on the releases relating to and including the recordings of the Quarry Men, The Beatles with Pete Best, Cavern Club material, Tony Sheridan sessions, The Star Club and the Decca Audition Tapes. The bootlegs of this period illustrate how The Beatles grew and evolved and eventually found their own sound which became the worldwide phenomenon known as Beatlemania.RADIO SHOWS: The most famous and possibly most bootlegged performances by The Beatles originate with the Fab Four's appearances on the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) in the early 1960's. Perhaps more than any of their live performances, these radio shows capture the excitement of Beatlemania (without the screaming fans!) as our heroes sing and perform rare rock and roll tunes as well as Beatles originals. Happily, the sound quality of the surviving tapes are quite good and have been preserved on disc by such far-seeing labels as Great Dane and BEEB Transcription Records.TELEVISION APPEARANCES: From 1963 to 1968 The Beatles performed live and mimed on numerous television programs in England, Europe and the United States. In those days television exposure was quite important to the career of an artist and spots on television music programs were at a premium. It was The Beatles performances on the Ed Sullivan Show that brought the Fab Four to the attention of the world and led the way for the British Invasion. For the most part I have only reviewed the bootlegs that featured actual 'live' performances by The Beatles.THE TOUR YEARS: The Beatles first real city-to-city tours began in 1963 and ended at Candlestick Park in San Francisco in 1966. During that time they performed in over 100 cities and their concerts were recorded by various people using a wide range of recording devices (some of which were nowhere near soundboard quality). The Beatles' concerts typically lasted less than 30 minutes and the shows changed very little from one date to the next. Consequently, many of the live concert bootlegs are boring and unlistenable; however, there are some pleasant surprises out there.STUDIO OUTTAKES: There is nothing as exciting as 'listening in' on The Beatles while they are in the studio working on a song. Hearing the outtakes is like being a fly on the wall as The Beatles' creative process is exposed. It is thrilling and entertaining to 'be there' when lyrics are muffed or guitar lines are experimented with. And to hear the working demos and alternate mixes of songs is akin to finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It is impossible to be unmoved when you hear the outtakes.GET BACK SESSIONS: For many collectors this is the most painful period in The Beatles' musical career. The seemingly endless and often uninspired rehearsals offered up very little in the way of great music. However, there would occasionally be sparks of greatness and The Beatles would actually rock. To relieve the boredom they would play old rock and roll standards or break into long jams. Sometimes they would argue among themselves or Yoko Ono would screech to John's guitar feedback. Youch! The bootlegs of this period mostly originated from the film footage shot of The Beatles at Twickenham's sound stage in London. Some of it comes from the Apple studio or the Apple rooftop. About thirty hours of this material is available and another sixty hours is rumored to be floating around in the hands of a few collectors. (Bootleggers are still threatening to release these sessions.)COLLECTIONS, DEMOS & ODDITIES: This chapter brings together the bootlegs that contain a hodge podge of material. Unlike a concert bootleg, for example, which has a set theme and location, the bootlegs in this section may have live material, studio outtakes, radio shows and spoken word all mingled together on one disc (such as STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER on NEMS) or on a multi-disc set (ARTIFACTS on Big Music). Also included are those collectible 'oddities' that could only find a home in this section.SOLO BOOTLEGS

JOHN LENNON: Lennon's solo career lasted only ten years, but thanks to Yoko Ono Lennon this career extended well into the Nineties. The ground-breaking radio series, 'The Lost Lennon Tapes,' ran for more than four years on the Westwood One network from 1988 to 1992. With Yoko's blessing and her active participation in the program, listeners were treated to many rare home recordings, studio session tapes and concert material. The program had its flaws but for the most part it was a treasure trove for collectors. Bootleggers quickly pressed albums of the material and the fans eagerly bought everything that came their way. Lennon, a fan of bootlegs himself, would have been proud.PAUL McCARTNEY: It is only natural that there are more bootlegs of McCartney's music than of the other three Beatles. McCartney has played more tour dates, made more television appearances and recorded more albums than his former bandmates. When you look at the type and quantity of McCartney bootlegs ('McBeatlegs'?!), it is truly amazing that there is so much rare music that has slipped through the cracks and found its way to collectors. Concert bootlegs are one thing but studio outtakes and home demos are a totally different story. Plenty of rarities exist that will keep McCartney historians busy for years to come.GEORGE HARRISON: Not as prolific as McCartney and Lennon, Harrison was still one hell of a songwriter. George's studio outtakes and home recordings illustrate the workmanship behind his songs. Just give a listen to the outtakes from ALL THINGS MUST PASS and you'll be amazed by his skill and intuition when it comes to song writing. Harrison's 1974 concert tour was a very unpleasant experience for him (illness and bad reviews), so he avoided touring until his pal Eric Clapton convinced him to tour Japan in 1991. Consequently, Harrison concert bootlegs are naturally small in number. And although his concert presence was not as strong as Paul's or John's, his musicianship was exceptional (as many bootlegs show).RINGO STARR: Ringo may be a great drummer, but he is not a notable songwriter. This fact is evidenced by the lack of outtakes and home recordings of his music. The studio outtakes we do have are generally uninteresting and uninspired. He was always content to be a sideman to The Beatles and even after the end of that group he was often called upon by others to play drums at studio sessions and conceit gigs. He even tried his hand at acting in movies and on television (with some success). Who can forget his role as a Neanderthal in Caveman or as the train conductor on Shining Time Station! Ringo's best album was Ringo and he had a respectable number of solo hits (such as Back Off Boogaloo). He even made a bit of a comeback in the 1990's with the nicely produced Time Takes Time and several years of touring with his ALL STARR BAND. But the fact is that Ringo's career never really went very far after The Beatles and so bootleggers didn't invest much time or effort in producing underground recordings of Richard Starkey.COLLECTIONS: This section gathers together those bootlegs that feature outtakes by some or all of The Beatles from their solo years. There are titles to be found in the Group Beatles that might also be appropriate here, but which I did not list for repetition sake. Most of these collections were put together at the whim of bootleggers and generally made little sense. The exception to this was ARTIFACTS III, which collected rare solo material and arranged it chronologically. And, on occasion, a collection surprised us with a rare tidbit or two not available anywhere else. So read closely.For the bootlegs that I deem to be of major importance, collectible or of some significant interest, I have written a detailed description of the record, which includes TITLE, LABEL, MATRIX #, FORMAT, YEAR MANUFACTURED, SOURCE, SOUND QUALITY and a RATING. Additionally, I offer a brief analysis of the bootleg, historical background information, song listings, timings, packaging information, data on related titles and other tidbits, which might be useful to the collector. Minor bootlegs are listed and include brief descriptions of their contents. Generally, I listed the song titles as the bootleggers reported them; but common sense will help the reader when determiningthe actual titles. If it wasn't immediately obvious, I noted it as such. For the most part the bootlegs are identified as either being on vinyl or on compact disc. If it is not clear to you, just see if there are 'sides' listing the tracks. Since a CD has only one side, then the boots with more than one side must be vinyl recordings! OK? And, of course, with over 2400 titles manufactured over the years, I had to be somewhat selective as to what should be included (or not) in this book. What are generally not covered here are common interview discs, CDR's, tapes traded by collectors, bootleg videos, official imports, and legitimate releases.THOSE TERMS

ACETATE: A one-sided disc which is heavier than commercially pressed records. Distribution is usually restricted to the artists, producers, management and publishing sectors of the industry. Oftentimes the acetate features a pre-final mix of the record and is therefore highly sought after by collectors.ALTERNATE: Refers to a different version, take, or mix of a song that is commercially released.BEATLEG: A bootleg of music by The Beatles. The word is a hybrid of 'Beatles' and 'bootleg' - the origin of which is lost somewhere in the mists of time.BOOTLEG: Bootlegs or underground recordings include unreleased material, such as demonstration and rehearsal tapes, studio outtakes and alternate takes, TV/radio performances and concerts.COUNTERFEIT: Unauthorized recordings that attempt to completely reproduce an officially released album, including the music, album artwork and label graphics.DEMO: A demonstration disc or tape used by artists, producers, music publishers and record companies for a variety of purposes. Usually consists of a rough version of a song yet to be formally recorded and produced.FORMAT: How the title was released - LP (vinyl), CD (compact disc), EP (extended play), 45, etc.LABEL: The name of the company which is printed on the label or disc - though it may not necessarily be the same company manufacturing the disc. It may say SWINGIN' PIG on the label, but the bootleggers may have used that name as a cover or as an effort to give their product legitimacy. Also, some manufacturers have subsidiary labels (PEG-BOY is a sub label of VIGOTONE).MATRIX #: This is the identifying code (usually in the form of numbers and/or letters) printed on the cover or disc by the manufacturer to identify the disc or its sequential place in a catalog. Oftentimes different bootlegs will have the same matrix numbers.MONITOR MIX: An off-line (not tape-to-tape direct) recording taped from the studio monitors during the preliminary mixing of a song. Often done when the artist needed a quick copy of a session to take home for later use.OUTFAKE: An 'outtake' created by a bootlegger(s) with the purpose of passing off a re-mixed legitimate take as an alternate take.OUTTAKE: Refers to a finished track that is usually left off of a commercial release -relegated to the studio vaults.PIRATE DISC: Unauthorized recordings that reproduce legitimately released music, with no attempt made to reproduce the legitimate album cover artwork or labels.RATING: This is highly subjective and is determined by these requirements:1) The HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE of the material. Is it rare? Is it collectible? Does it add to our knowledge of the Beatles?2) SOUND QUALITY. Is it crisp, clean and free of pops and snaps? Is it distinguishable from the screams of the fans? Is it soundboard quality?3) ENJOYABILITY. Is it a disc I would listen to a number of times? Is it fun to listen to? Is it easy to dance to?4) PACKAGING. Does it come with accurate liner notes? Is it nicely packaged? Does it have a printed color cover or a black and white xeroxed cover? Is there a picture disc? Are there unique photos or artwork?All of these factors were taken into consideration when I rated the featured discs using the 'five star' rating system. Hence:* (One Star): Poor. Don't bother. No redeeming value. Horrid sound and poor packaging.** (Two Stars): Fair. Just passable. Only for the serious collector. Maybe an item or two worth having.*** (Three Stars): Good. An above average bootleg which should satisfy most collectors.**** (Four Stars): Very Good. Has a lot going for it. The material is worthy and it has very nice packaging. For both the casual collector and the hardcore fan. Highly recommended.***** (Five Stars): Excellent. It doesn't get any better than this. Superb sound quality. Excellent packaging. And the music itself is a MUST HAVE for all Beatles fans.SOURCE: Signifies if the music was from a recording studio, television or radio broadcasts, home recordings, audience concert tapes, soundboard concert tapes, monitor mixes, alternate mixes, or legitimate cover versions. I also state whether the songs are stereo or mono - though sometimes it is not always that clear cut with some of the bootlegs and so I've made a 'best guess' on those.SOUND QUALITY: From 'poor' (unlistenable), 'fair' (barely listenable), 'good' (average quality), 'very good' (above average) to 'excellent' (as good as any legitimate release).TITLE: The actual title of the bootleg as found on the front cover or the spine. 'A', 'An', and, 'The' are dropped for the purpose of alphabetizing.YEAR: The year (when known) when the title was made available to the public, NOT the year the music was recorded. You will find the date the music was recorded in the description of the material.

PLEASE NOTE

Abbreviations have been used in order to save space and to make Not For Sale easier to use. These are as follows:

This spelling of the group's name is from a letter written by Paul to Butlin's nightclub in an attempt to procure a playing gig. (Thus the title for this set.) As we all know The Beatals would eventually become The BEATLES.

The songs on these two compact discs feature the only known recordings made with Stuart Sutcliffe and their historical importance cannot be overemphasized. Here we have The Beatles in their embryonic stages as they musically search for an identity. Old standards, blues, improvisational jams and originals are all explored. Three of these songs (Matchbox, One After 909 and I'll Follow The Sun) would appear on Beatles albums.Although the music on these discs have appeared on numerous bootlegs in various quality and form, this is the best one available. The music has been digitally remastered, the songs are logically arranged, the liner notes are thorough and accurate, and the booklet features nice photographic reproductions from this time period. This bootleg comes in a color slipcase and is complemented nicely with a 28-page booklet. The Madman label is a subsidiary of Vigotone.

It should be noted that there has been a lot of discussion and debate as to when these recordings were made. In an interview with Mark Lewisohn, Paul McCartney stated that they were recorded in his home in Liverpool in 1960. This is certainly true for some of the songs but not all of them. A number of the songs were recorded in Hamburg in the fall of 1960 as the playing of I'll Follow The Sun on a 1966 German TV show proved out. No matter what the exact dates were, there is no question that these songs are truly golden artifacts.The earliest appearance of these tracks were on THE QUARRYMEN REHEARSE WITH STU SUTCLIFFE SPRING 1960 (Pre Beatle Records) LP, THE QUARRYMEN AT HOME (Blackshop Records - BS 007) LP, LIVERPOOL MAY 1960: JOHN PAUL GEORGE AND STU (Indra - M5-6001) 2LPs.

The titles given to the instrumental jams were contrarily chosen by the bootleggers - though Thinking of Linking may be the real thing.

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Pete Best played their hearts out but the group was ultimately turned down by Decca's A& R man, Mike Smith. (I am sure Decca has forever regretted that decision!) Semi-legitimate releases of the Decca Tapes have appeared through the years; however, the sound quality was never as good as we have here. Also, the three Lennon-McCartney titles (Like Dreamers Do, Hello Little Girl and Love of the Loved) were usually omitted for the obvious copyright reasons.The last five tracks are from a Beatles rehearsal at the Cavern Club on Mathew Street in Liverpool. It is believed these songs were recorded sometime in early September 1962.MARCH 5,1963 PLUS THE DECCA TAPE

The legality of the records have been questioned ever since. However, the historical importance of this material cannot be questioned. These raw Beatles performances (from two or more sets) from December 1962 were captured on tape by Adrian Barber at 'King Size' Taylor's request. They sat in a box for ten years until Allan Williams finally had them released to the general public. They have been edited in various forms by numerous manufacturers. No release to date has the entire uncut versions of these rare performances.This disc is notable in that the songs have been digitally remastered and are the best we are likely to hear of these performances. It is not, however, complete (most notably it is missing Red Hot). It has been rumored that FOUR shows were taped and feature numerous songs not listed above. Hopefully these will come to light someday.

Of the 288 performances recorded, Great Dane rescued and preserved on disc 247 of these. An amazing feat considering that a number of the shows had been erased by the shows' producers and only existed in the collections of a few historically-minded fans. Sadly, some are lost forever.While the sound quality varies due to the numerous tape sources, the overall quality is quite good. The 247 songs are chronologically arranged and the set comes with a beautiful, full-sized color book with excellent liner notes and BBC sessions information. The Beatles' live performances were captured best during then- BBC sessions - no screaming fans, just great rock and roll performed by the world's most exciting band. In a number of cases even a lot of the chat between The Beatles and their radio hosts is included. Certainly, this is the BEST BOOTLEG EVER. This fantastic bootleg preserves these important shows with style and respect. A must have for any serious Beatles collector. (Note: Some collectors have reported 'CD rot' on some of their discs on this set. If caught in time, the discs can be cleaned and the CDs will play as normal. If not, the discs will be beyond repair and will cause the collector much distress!)Bootlegs of various BBC material are probably more numerous than any other period of The Beatles' careers. Some are excellent - many are not. The Beatles themselves released a two disc set (69 songs) of BBC material in 1994 called LIVE AT THE BBC, but it was woefully incomplete. For those of you with a computer and a CD Rom drive, LQE Productions has a disc (THE COMPLETE BBC SESSIONS - CDC 9117) with the music and liner notes from the entire Great Dane Box Set as well as from HERE WE GO and THE BEATLES AT THE BEEB - TV. It is quite an amazing disc. Should you not want to opt for the Great Dane set I would recommend you search out some of the following:FROM US TO YOU (The Swingin' Pig - TSP 015-2) 2 CD, AT THE BEEB VOL. 1-13 (BEEB Transcription Records - 2171/2185) 13 LPs, AT THE BEEB (aka: RADIO ACTIVE) VOL. 1-13 (Pyramid - RFT CD 005/033) 13 CDs.

The show was thought to have been lost, but when the collector holding the tape saw Great Dane's THE COMPLETE BBC SESSIONS he quickly contacted the Italians who immediately rush released it. The tape features three Beatles numbers: Misery, Do You Want To Know A Secret and Please Please Me totaling 13:46. The rest of the show features two songs by The Trad Lads, Ben Rishmond performing Warmed Over Kisses and The Northern Dance Orchestra playing Waltz In Jazz Time. The Beatles had also recorded I Saw her Standing There but the song was not aired. This was the first time the public got to hear Misery and Do You Want To Know A Secret. Their album debut would be released on March 22,1963. This material is included on a Japanese compilation called MOD! SING THE BEATLES. This disc also includes tracks from 'Ready Steady Go' and The Music of Lennon & McCartney' television special.AIR TIME
