THE BEATLES/SESSIONS OC 064 2402701 (-85) UK


 A Beatles boot that shows up in the bins every now and then in numerous variations and formats. To me the one with the most fascinating story and the reason I bought this copy was it came with a cut out newspaper article from 85.04.20 (don't know which paper) explaining a lot about its background I didn't know before. Check below to read. So it was planned by EMI as a legit "new" Beatles LP, but stopped by Paul, George and Ringo. Apparently this has the same tracking and track order as originally planned in a sleeve design that probably was one of the chosen for the EMI issue. Listening today it's clear the engineering of the tracks wasn't finnished yet, though most of the songs comes out rather well and certainly good for a bootleg. And it's very rewarding to hear them in the exact order they were planned. I escecially dig "Leave My Kitten Alone", "What's The New Mary Jane" and the first recorded version of "One After 909". All cuts here have been released legaly since on various collections, mostly with better audio. But as this is the one that comes closest to the withdrawn licit issue it's my choice. Guess this copy belongs to one of the earlier boot batches that was issued, on black label in a fully laminated cover.   (BÄ*)  (LGÅ*)  (ÖRJ*)
