Description
Newly remastered for reissue, The Beatles first Live at the BBC album sounds and looks better than ever. This collection of the groups BBC sessions mixed versions of their hits with a treasure trove of 30 songs The Beatles performed on air but never released on record in the 1960s. The compelling track list ranged from a rare performance of the little known Lennon-McCartney original Ill Be On My Way to covers of classic rock n roll and contemporary rhythm and blues songs. At the time of its release, Live at the BBC was hailed by Rolling Stone as an exhilarating portrait of a band in the process of shaping its own voice and vision. It earned a GRAMMY® Award nomination for Best Historical Album.
Live at the BBC was assembled by George Martin in 1994 and has been meticulously mastered by engineers Guy Massey and Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios. The booklet includes Kevin Howletts essays on the history of The Beatles BBC radio sessions and his detailed commentaries on all of the tracks.
