Caveat Emptor,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lost Decca Sessions (Audio CD)
For what this is,the item description says it all.If you are a Beatles fanatic,this is a must have.If you aren't,beware.Anyone who is used to hearing studio master quality,this is not it.While the songs have been cleaned up compared to the worst bootleg versions,they are not really very high quality.That's the down side.The up side is that this is the first CD I have ever seen with the entire Decca session recordings.I have heard all of these recordings on various bootlegs over the years and almost all of them have appeared in better sound somewhere,but,in order to get all of those better sounding versions,you would have to track down at least a half dozen different CD's and drop over a hundred dollars.So,if all you want is the complete Decca session,this is your best choice.

BEATLES LOST DECCA SESSIONS FOUND !!!!,
By
This review is from: Lost Decca Sessions (Audio CD)
Through the years, we've heard snippets of these songs, many of which were often scratchy renditions. Not anymore. Recall Records (www.beatles-lost-decca-sessions.com) has removed most of the unwanted noise from songs that were only available on bootlegs and and as a single issue here and there, including the Anthology I recordings.
All 15 songs come presented on colourful cd's, which are sure to become collectors items. Anyone who has seen my reviews knows that when I say "collector's items"--- I mean it. I haven't seen these songs in one place, on one cd, anywhere else, not even Russia's CDMaximum have got these in their entirety !! Now the collection is really complete, starting with the songs that Brian Epstein hand carried all over England in search of a recording contract for the Beatles, in the days before Ringo Starr. John, Paul, and George sing their early material, together, clearly, for the first time. My initial favourite from the get go was cut #8...'Til There Was You,' sung by Paul McCartney as it first sounded prior to it's offical release in 1963 on the U.S."With The Beatles." Other songs include George Harrison's singing 'Take Good Care of My Baby", John Lennon on 'To Know Her is to Love Her' and both Paul McCartney and John Lennon teaming up on 'Hello Little Girl' and 'Sure to Fall'. Pete Best, still touring as I write this, is featured on the cd as the Beatles drummer. I have to admit that some of the songs get into your head and still cause your foot to tap, even if the cd is no longer playing. Depending upon the quality of the device you'll be using to reproduce the sound, little bits come out that haven't been heard this bright in many, many years. Very little track noise can be heard and none of it will take away from the songs, at all. I am really impressed with this package and I am very glad to have it to complete a collection in one cd where once I had to search all over to get them, and put up with poor quality to boot. No more having to buy a record player and a small fortune for needles wasted on tracks that were deteriorating in the first place. When they are gone, they're gone, as I like to say....

True stuff,
By
This review is from: Lost Decca Sessions (Audio CD)
You have to be a nut like I am about the Beatles to buy and enjoy this, but I have been very pleasantly surprised to find this album is exactly what it claims to be - the Decca sessions. This is the raw stuff, Decca's big, historic Mistake (not signing the Beatles). There are no originals (Lennon-McCartney) here, and the songs are not something that anyone but an enthusiast will enjoy, compared to the Beatles' later work. But this is the real deal - the first studio recordings by the band alone (not backing Tony Sheridan). Best, the sound quality is just fine.
I don't know how this small company got the rights to market these recordings as they say they the do, but this album is a very pleasant surprise and a happy addition to a collector's pile. There are many, many moments of musical interest, starting with the clear but raw sound here - the boys played poor quality instruments, you can hear it -- they were just poor kids, banging their hearts out - continuing with - sorry Pete Best fans - how poor a drummer Pete Best was (compare these versions with the now-available BBC versions of the same covers to see how superb Ringo Starr is, bless him - and how plodding Pete Best is, sorry again) -- and continuing with the unanswered question, that we don't have to answer, thankfully
