Simply stunning box set on the Great Dane label, Italy, 1993. Catalog #9326/9. Contains every extant Beatles performance on BBC radio, from March 1962 through their final set in June 1965. Only a relatively small portion of these performances, all recorded exclusively for BBC broadcast (and thus different from the familiar LP studio versions), are otherwise available. Sound quality varies, particularly on the earlier discs, with much of the material derived from personal collections when it could not be located in the BBC archives. 257 tracks in total, including many takes of the hits (for example, "She Loves You" and "From Me To You" are repeated fairly often, but it's a different version each time) and many obscurities (a studio rehearsal of just the backing track of "I'm Happy Just To Dance With You;" George crooning Joe Brown's pop hit "A Picture of You;" the lads backing Rolf Harris on a demented reqrite of his hit ditty, "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport"). Perhaps the biggest treat for fans are several "Pop Goes the Beatles" shows in their entirety, including all this was the Beatles' own short-lived BBC radio programmethe goofy chat between songs; . The box contains nine discs with a 28-page, 12 X 12 full color booklet on high-quality paper. A splendid time is guaranteed for all.
