CD Notes

The bulk of these performances first appeared in the early '80s on an obscure vinyl entitled Vegemite. That double LP was subsequently issued in Europe as two single LPs - The Dream Is Over Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 and in America as Sweet Apple Trax Vol. III. An edit of this material appeared several years ago on the CDs Songs from The Past Volumes 4 and 5.

For this collection the Vegemite lineup has been restored from the original source tape. Special mention (and perhaps an apology) should be given for track 19 ("Don't Let Me Down") which has had to be reconstructed from several different source tapes, each incomplete by itself. You'll find many enjoyable moments on this CD.

Highlights are George's cover version of Marvin Gaye's "Hitch Hike", Paul and George performing Elvis' "All Shook Up" and Carl Perkins' "Your True Love", and a cover version of Sam Cooke's "Bring It On Home To Me" (complete and from a tape source).

Historical highlights include early run-throughs of "Two Of Us" and "The One After 909".

CD Notes

Tracks 1-12 here finish up what we've called the Vegemite tapes, supplemented with some additional "All Things Must Pass" rehearsals. The remainder of this disc is taken from a variety of sources, most of which have never been released before. Part of the "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" rehearsals (track 18) have been shamelessly lifted from the Melvin LP The Beatles Vs. Don Ho since a tape source was not available for these precious few minutes.

This disc continues the oldies trend from Disc 1. It also features a lengthy rehearsal of George's song "All Things Must Pass", which was never professionally recorded by the group. Prototype performances of "Let It Be" and "Oh! Darling" can also be heard.
