From the Yellow Submarine film.
BEATLES IN 3D
an interview picture disc LP with some not particularly interesting interviews - but the LP is in 3D! Wow man....
More Corgi Toy Buses
Lovely! Issued in 2008 heres the complete new set of Corgi Buses - featuring Sgt Pepper, Help, Revolver and Abbey Road. Nice touches include the bus number is the number of the album issued. The destinations are tracks on the LP. They have also been issued in a limited editon tin which I don't have - plus they've done the same albums in taxi form. I would have preffered it if they had done a different set of albums as taxis.... never mind, still like them.
BEATLES RELATED MUSIC BOXES
At least two companies make Beatle Music in hand held music box form. I've got 'Imagine' 'Yesterday' ,'Yellow Submarine' ,' Hey Jude'. Do you have to pay royalties on music box tunes? I wonder how that works?
Let It Be UK and US
As mentioned before,when Let It Be was first issued in the UK it came in a box with a book.
This later became a normal LP issue - in the States it came as a gatefold sleeve, with a few pictures from the book on the gatefold. On my copy, The U.S. edition is on inferior cardboard which has worn over the years, whereas the UK edition is on glossy card. The back of the sleeve is different too - with the U.S. edition having one extra thank you and a red apple!
The U.S. inner gatefold sleeve.
Compare the backs of the two issues. The U.S. One had one more thank you???
THE BEATLES BEAT
A German pressing. Has different mixes of some of the tracks - for example 'Thank You Girl' has extra harmonica!
NOTHING IS REAL
An interesting bootleg. Side A traces the development of Strawberry Fields Forever with an Introduction from George Martin then from take one through to an alternate stereo mix of the completed master taking in the orchestra version and band version along the way.
Side B features other outtakes including the full 6.42 version of 'Christmas Time Is Here Again.'
SINGING THE BLUES
More outtakes from the Let It Be sessions. Tracks include - Blue Suede Shoes/ I Me Mine/ Take This Hammer/ Digging My Potatoes/Rock Island Line etc.....
Again not brilliant as they are nowhere near complete songs and just jammed.
NOT FOR SALE
Quite a good looking bootleg. A fewhave now been released legit on CD but amongst the tracks here are DO you Want To Know A Secret (with no echo)/ the Medley from the Around The Beatles TV Special/ Paperback Writer (with no echo)and A Day IN THe Life (remix)
ALMOST GROWN
Vinyl bootleg of some of the session tracks from the Let It Be film. Tracks included Get BAck. Bad Boy/ Sweet Little Sixteen/ Around and ARound/Almost Grown/ Madman/One After 909/All things Must Pass/Across the Universe/That Must Be my Girl/Lit It Be
Not that great as they are not really complete songs....
RARITIES
Issued in the eighties all of these have now been issued on CD. Nevertheless this is a slightly rare version of the LP - it has sampler album written on it and no explanation of the tracks.
The Hamburg Tapes
A double LP of the notorious Hamburg recordings - recorded on a reel-toreel tape recorder with one microphone pointing towards the stage. Successfully stopped from being released officially on CD this was a legit LP issued in the eighties.
BIRTH OF THE BEATLES - THE BEATLES
From The Story Of Rock collection issued in Italy, heres the Beatles editon. No EMI tracks though, one half conisisted of tracks from their Polydor days with Tony Sheridan and side B had live tracks from the Hamburg live tapes.
BEATLES IN ITALY
This is a reprint of an LP issued by EMI Italia originally in the 60s. From the cover people thought it was a live LP - but it wasn't it was a cash-in - all the tracks were normal studio released recordings compiled onto this LP for the Italian market.
