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 TWO continues the often testy March
5, 1963 session with all thirteen takes of "Thank You Girl" (and two
stereo mixes), plus the unused session for "One After 909." A couple
of fake stereo mixes for "She Loves You" (done in 1966) lead us into
a complete reel from September 12, 1963 - the lone surviving tape from the WITH
THE BEATLES album sessions. The untrimmed stereo mix of "This Boy,"
an amazing pair of "Can't Buy Me Love" outtakes from Paris, and the
April 16, 1964 session for "A Hard Day's Night" close out this chapter.
