Notes


Beatles At The Beeb - TV
(Panda Records BBCBCD 1454)

lineage: original silver disc bootleg - EAC (log included) - wav - FLAC (Trader's Little Helper/Level 8 - md5 included)

I've added 300 dpi scans made from my own copy as the Bootlegzone entry @ http://www.bootlegzone.com/album.php?name=bbc1454&section=1 is missing the insert with "Beatlisms" (woo!!!).

Liner notes (pretty accurate for a bootleg disc from the early nineties!):

1. The Mersey Sound
Filmed between 27th - 30th August 1963. Twist and Shout/She Loves You: Live recordings. Love Me Do: Mimed. At Little Theatre, Houghton Street, Southport, 27/08/63. Transmitted BBC1 9/10/63. (14'54")
[Additional interviews recorded in Manchester and Liverpool, 28th - 30th August 1963.]

2. It's The Beatles
Afternoon taping session, 7/12/63, Empire Theatre, Liverpool. Transmitted BBC1 later the same day. (Note at the end of From Me To You instrumental they play the "Third Man Theme". This is not documented anywhere, not even Lewisohn's book, and has never been on bootleg and has never been broadcasted). This is all the music that survives from this special in the BBC archives. (8'33")

total playing time 45'11"

Enjoy!
