Comments:
A difficult title and series to review, for a new collector clearly an essential
release, for the long term collector a good reference point for the Please Please
tracks, which they may already have spread over numerous titles.
The release was initially circulated in a digital format a 'dataleg', if you
like, I am sure that many people who have this title will never print the accompanying
artwork and have a tangible release and others may never even listen to it,
merely collecting the many new fan releases that are available.
I will leave it to the reader as to whether they believe this to be a worthwhile
addition.
Release Notes:
In the spring of 1983, engineer John Barrett and disc jockey Roger Scott landed
what many would consider a dream job: listening to Beatles studio session tapes
in a mixing suite at Abbey Road. Barrett had been in charge of cataloging EMI's
Beatles tape library for over a year, and Scott was brought in to assist him
in shaping an audiovisual presentation for the public, The Beatles At Abbey
Road.
As they auditioned various recordings, Barrett made cassette compilations of
various outtakes, creating fresh stereo mixes from the multitracks. Scott also
took the liberty of dubbing some session reels from start to finish, along with
a few vintage mixes. The result was nearly eight hours of pristine-quality unreleased
Beatle material which ended up on various bootlegs over the last 25 years: Ultra
Rare Trax, Unsurpassed Masters, et al.
We have compiled ALL of the Barrett/Scott tapes here, straight from the vaults
to your ears. All that's missing are the low-fi offline "bag tapes"
recorded stealthily by Scott. Not only do those repeat much of this material,
they would interrupt what is a pleasant listening experience. The tapes have
been sorted in chronological order, speed-corrected, and edited for completeness
from various best sources. No noise reduction or equalization has been employed.
Sit back, relax, and for God's sake be quiet! The Red Light's On!
DISC ONE is a special treat - after a mint
(and UNEDITED) copy of the rejected "How Do You Do It," we have every
extant take from the PLEASE PLEASE ME LP sessions (only missing is take 9 of
"Misery," a false start). The disc concludes with the making of the
third single A-side, "From Me To You," with all the takes, various
edit pieces and a remix or two.
