About this boxed set

Everybody knows that from 1962 to 1965 the Beatles performed on several shows for the BBC radio. During these show they played new takes of their hits and several songs they never recorded for official release. The Beatles' BBC recordings made over 10 hours on splendid material. These sessions has been bootleg over the years on various formats, and in 1994 EMI released its official version of this material, on the outstanding Live at BBC. However, Bootleg label Great Dane had done it first, by releasing a 9-CD boxed set in 1993, and a 10th CD later.

The Great Dane box is possibily the best bootelg release ever. It cointains every avaiable Beatles BBC session, gathering during a research period that took over seven years in the making. EMI's Live at BBC was a gret na important release, but The complete BBC sessions goes very deepr, bringing things EMI didn't have the courage to release, like the famous last Pete Best show in which they play Roy Orbison's Dream Baby or the unreleased A picture of you. Disc two offers a very unique chance to hear Ringo drumming on P.S. I love you, since it's not him on the official version.

Besides the marvelous CD's, the box comes with a marvelous book which details every BBC session with recording dates, date of original airing, history of bootleg BBC releases, wonderful pictures and more. The genreal sound quality is superb too. In addition, a marvelous, remarkable cover showing a 12-string Rickenbaker guitar.

The compelte BBC sessions wasn't made obsolete by EMI's double CD. It is somethign every Beatles fan should get. For those who have problems in getting the box, they can still get it. LQE productions released a CD-rom which cointains EVERYTHING from the boxed set.
