Comments:

A difficult set to review , with the majority of tracks having been available before and many in better quality.

What we have are the 1983 tapes that were recorded during the preparation for the famous Abbey Road Show. The recordings have captured The Beatles tracks as they are mixed on the fly and played back over the monitors. Occasionally John Barrett and Roger Scott discuss different aspects.

Whilst a core release for the unique mixes, odd new track and tantalizing snippets of others, I doubt that this is a disc that anyone would pullout and regularly listen. I am sure that at some point the key/new material will added to a 'best of collection' by a fan or another label.

Whilst no best of discs have appeared the material has been copied by Scorpio UK   issued a 3CD in a digipak and the Silent Sea team an 8 CDR set of material in their Playback series.

Tray Notes:

"An Excellent Collection Of Off-Line Recordings, Most Never Released Before. The Listener Can Get An Idea Of How
Some Songs Sound Like With Track Separation. A "Monitor Mix" Is An Off-Line Recording Taped From Studio
Monitors During The Preliminary Mixing Of A Song. And In This Case Additional Research For The Abbey Road
Video Show In An EMI Controlroom Back In 1983.

                                   Highlights here: On disc A: Fuck a Duck - Sexie Sadie- Who The Fuck You Think You Are
                                                           On disc B:Lady Madonna ,Vocals only
