Comments:

An unauthorized, protection gap release, with the stamper mastered in Setember 1973, pressed by a budget Italian label.

Side 1 contains an incomplete copy of The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, 1964, probably sourced from Kustom Rekords Live At Shea. Side 2 copied from another unauthorized release of non Beatles material is alsoincomplete.

The song credits slowly evolve across the various reissues from 'NN' to (N.N.) PAS, raising queries as to how the appropriate royalties could be paid. Despite this copies do appear with either a red, blue or purple SIAE stamps on the labels.

The rear appear identical on all issues, however there is a subtle change on the covers going from 'RECORDED LIVE' to 'life recording' .

Alternate Bootleg Label Releases

From the label and rear artwork these are described as a Brazilian releases. I have no evidence as to whether these are South American pirates or an attempt to mislead the Authorities after the European legal loop hole was closed. Irrespective of which continent they were pressed, there ar eat least a further four variations.
