Product Description

The Unreleased Beatles details the incredible breadth of music The Beatles recorded but did not release, as well as film footage of the group that hasn't been made commercially available. Beatles expert Richie Unterberger examines a huge array of material, including unreleased studio outtakes, BBC radio recordings from 1962-1965, live concert performances, home demo recordings, fan club Christmas recordings, and other informal demos done outside of EMI studios. The staggering wealth of unreleased gems encompasses The Beatles' entire career, from a recording the Quarrymen made on July 6, 1957 (aka "the day John met Paul"), right up to outtakes from the final sessions of Let It Be in 1970. Also includes a general overview of Beatles bootlegs, their songs recorded by other artists in the 1960s, never-recorded material, and more than 100 photos.

This review is from: The Unreleased Beatles - Music & Film - Book

This book was INCREDIBLE. I have always been an avid Beatles Bootleg collector, and this book opened up my eyes so much more. Not only did it help me modify and expand my collection of unreleased music with it's incredible detail on each recording, it was in general an incredibly interesting read to hear about all the tinkering and fun that the Beatles had in the studio, from The Day John Met Paul, all the way up to the beginning of each Beatle's solo careers. This book was so in-depth and such a fun read, I would recommend it to anyone with even a remote interest in The Beatles.
