A New Year and an attempt to update an old format

This project is run on a strictly non-profit basis relying heavily on donate material and the good will of the collectors, traders and the odd label
who provide images and confirmed rip data.

Whilst I am happy to fund the site, I am not prepared to be the whipping boy and if I just happen to write about the version of a release you have and it's not what you thought or it is a Pirate or Rem(F)ake.

So if you have a Beatles related release that isn't listed or is a different version I'm happy to discuss the variations and will gladly accept information to expand the site. What I don't want is any more of the hate and vitriol that I have previously received. Could I please respectfully, ask any traders or dealers who use my site to verify their catalogue , not to send me hate mail when my site is used to challenge other titles in your collections.

The site was created for personal use and has been a great tool, I know it is now looking dated and maybe even out of date but after all where else will you find details of so many variations.

So feel free to use it Don't Loose it .Should there be little or no interest, clearly it would be foolish to continue to fund an unwanted resource.

As ever I have a life outside of Beatleg Land - Thank you for your patience.

Some one asked me why some information was in Red ,
apologize to all I never thought to say, it is where information is unconfirmed

WANTED - HELP!

As more and more sites disappear or stop being updated , others continue to suffer increasing numbers of inaccuracies Even the Bootleg Zone disappeared for a period.

I would therefore appreciate any help you can offer to update or correct any errors .

Some of you may recall a site which is now password protected taking donated files. I would like to take over where his excellent site left off, with the exception of looking for a subscription . Titles and releases not listed anywhere else would clearly be a greater benefit to all .

Please provide New files and/or images, I have a couple of rough templates if this would help.

Backdata

Pre 1998 / 1999 / 2000 / 2001 /2002 /2003 / 2004+5 / 2006 / 2007 / 2008 / 2009
2010 /2011 / 2012 /2013 / 2014 / 2015 / 2016 / 2017 / 2018 / 2019 /2020 /2021

ALL Pages, Data and Images are for REFERENCE PURPOSE ONLY.

The collated information is from hundreds of sources, I am unable to verify the accuracy of any information implied or provided .

I neither own these discs or know how to obtain them , so any Corrections or New material is always appreciated.
