Notes

THE BEATLES
STUDIO SESSIONS March 5 & September 12, 1963
Remastered Edition

from Tobe Milo TMCD-4Q30, issued 2001

Lineage: original CD > Mac > .aiff > .wav > data CD > Audition 3 > CD Wave > TLH > FLAC > you

In 2001, this CD appeared in the collector's market, purporting to be a Tobe Milo issue. Whether it is from the actual people who used to run the Tobe Milo label, or from someone using their name, is unclear. But it is, as the cover states, "the most complete and best quality to date" of this material. These are all the extant takes of "One After 909" from March 5/63 and the session for "Hold Me Tight (remake)" and "Don't Bother Me (remake)" of September 12/63. These recordings had appeared several times in the past, from the Condor CDs to the Yellow Dog "Unsurpassed Masters" and "Ultimate Collection" box set, but never sounding this good, and never unbroken, as they appear here.

Problems repaired by me: the .wav file was opened in Audition 3, and automatic phase correction was run on the entire lot, then pitch correction. The whole disc ran slow by a whole key and a little bit. Each track now matches a digital keyboard. The finished .wav file was opened in CD Wave and track split on sector boundaries, then converted to FLAC level 8.

Track listing:

1-5 One After 909 (takes 1-5)
7-16 Hold Me Tight (takes 20-29)
17-20 Don't Bother Me (takes 10-13)

Artwork is included, from a scan of the original laser-printed covers. Note that the original catalogue number is TMCD-4Q30. The artwork posted on bootlegzone is of a pirated edition released as a digipak, with the number TMCD-8Q30s. It also has a pink sticker on the front cover, saying "Official Tobe Milo Release."

Please do not sell this material, or convert it to a lossy format.
