The History Of The Beatles Vol.1:1962-1963 Label: Birthday Records Catalogue No.: BR023 Format : CDR + Jewel Case Matrix: NONE CD ID:   Origin: Holland Availability : 1998 Duration: 74:23

Comments:

Originally released in Holland by a collector, this 6CD radio show has been copied several times but on factory pressed discs. I have managed to trace two European and one Korean issues.

The source for these discs is unclear but I think that they may have been copied from a previous hard to find 9 LP box set called 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' on a unknown label reference BN-89 .

The radio shows pirated on all these titles is the 1984 radio Special with Roger Scott, unfortunately the narration is regularly over what at the time was unreleased or hard to come by. Each of the original shows covered a different year, and these have been layered over six rather than nine discs on the Birtday sets

Each program starts with Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the voice of Murray the K introducing the Beatles on stage at the 1964 NME Concert show.
