These two discs feature live-in-the-studio recordings made by The Beatles for BBC Radio between 1962 and 1965.
Over half of these 56 songs are covers, many of which were never officially released, and it's a real treat to have this often-bootlegged material available and sounding very, very good. And the lavish 46-page booklet features complete recording information, pictures, and essays by Derek Taylor and producer Kevin Howlett.

The Beatles do their best to live up to their happy-go-lucky images on a number of non-musical "soundbytes", and Paul McCartney gets to sing a couple of too-cute pop songs, but the majority of this material is simply magnificent. John Lennon sings a tough rock n' roll-rendition of Ray Charles' "I Got A Woman", McCartney rips loose on electrifying versions of "Lucilel" and "I Saw Her Standing There", and George Harrison does a credible Chuck Berry on "Roll Over Beethoven".
A couple of Arthur Alexander-covers are equally great, and Lennon performs a wonderfully tough, confident reading of "A Shot Of Rhythm & Blues" and tears through a great, punchy "Dizzy Miss Lizzy".
Their own songs sound magnificent as well. A driving "A Hard Day's Night", the clanging, circular guitar riff of "Ticket To Ride" ringing out...Well, you can check out the track list for youself.
This is a delightful 2hrs+ of music. The Beatles give it their all, and you can hear what a terrific little rock n' roll combo they were when they could actually hear each other play!
Very highly recommended.

How strange that no one's reviewed this yet! This is the Beatles as a pretty good pub band.
After the White Album in late 68, Paul McCartney had the idea of recording an album with no overdubbing, no fancy studio tricks, just the Beatles playing live - something old, something new etc. It didn't work in January 1969 when they tried it, but it did work throughout 1963 and 1964, when they recorded this whole pile of stuff for the BBC, dashing down to London in the van after doing a one night stand in Bolton or Ilfracombe or some such place, a couple of hours kip, then - er - what are we going to do for Saturday Club, lads? What about Nothing Shakin but the Leaves on the Trees? Okay, Paul, why don't you do Clarabella? Okay - here we go, one two three, wham bang - Thanks Brian, and thanks to all at number 44 Mount Street, Clacton for the kind birthday wishes, and the bag of jellybabies. Here Mr Matthew, have a jellybaby. Oops, look at the time - gotta dash, playing in Glasgow tonight!
In 1963 the Beatles were constantly racing around Britain, and in 1964 racing around the world. They made famous hit records. But when they recorded their many appearances on teenage radio shows they mostly played their favourite old country and rhythm & blues numbers, things which they'd done at the Star Club or the Cavern, very straighforward, no frills (no time for frills anyway!). It's delightful, but I must be honest. I could live without about half of this double-cd. The other half has wonderful obscurities like "A Shot of Rhythm and Blues", or "Soldier of Love", or Paul whispering "Clarabella" (another Little Richard impersonation) or Paul warbling "The Honeymoon Song" (which he later made Mary Hopkin sing). All their early influences are here displayed (the usual suspects, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Ray Charles), and after all, it is the Fabs. And if I was booking groups in 1963, I'd definately have had them back again. Very professional. very workmanlike. Hard to believe that psychedelia was just round the corner.

When this collection was released, prior to the Anthology series, it was the first `new' Beatles material released for many years.
Many of the songs have been previously bootlegged, but this collection has many unfamiliar tunes, including some Chuck Berry numbers and contemporary beat tunes like `Some Other Guy' and `Hippy Hippy Shake'.
The banter with BBC presenters is delightful, as is reading the fan mail and various comments and in-jokes.
The set is just short of a revelation. It's full of energy, toughness, fun and sparkle. There are some great covers, as well as slightly different versions of the usual Beatles hits. It's interesting that they seem to have put just as much thought into the covers as their own material: these songs were never 'filler', but songs The Beatles knew and loved.
The packaging and liner notes are marvellous and each disc has about 30 tracks, so the set is great value.
The only drawback of this terrific album is the sound: glorious mono, with varying degrees of low, medium and hi `fi' due to the age of the tapes and BBC recording techniques. It's not even at the standard of the official Beatles mono LPs, but it's always listenable and you soon forget about the sound, anyway.

There is nothing to be said. Why re-issue stuff that we really do not need? Some believed in free love and respect, others just took the drugs. Here, they just take your money.

Good, but not perfect collection
For years bootlegs (LPs back then, the "Live at the Beeb" series) of the BBC-radioshows were in high demand: they covered every show the Fab Four ever performed for the BBC. Read more
