DISC TWO continues the often testy March 5, 1963 session with all thirteen takes of “Thank You Girl†(and two stereo mixes), plus the unused session for “One After 909.†A couple of fake stereo mixes for “She Loves You†(done in 1966) lead us into a complete reel from September 12, 1963 - the lone surviving tape from the WITH THE BEATLES album sessions. The untrimmed stereo mix of “This Boy,†an amazing pair of “Can't Buy Me Love†outtakes from Paris, and the April 16, 1964 session for “A Hard Day's Night†close out this chapter.

DISC THREE contains a number of interesting BEATLES FOR SALE outtakes, beginning with an August 14, 1964 session which saw John Lennon shine brightly with his own composition, "I'm A Loser", and his torrid vocals on a pair of oldies. A remarkable alternate of "What You're Doing" (how did the ANTHOLOGY team miss this one?) precedes session tapes for both sides of the group's 8th single, and some half-hearted attempts to record a fan club Christmas message. 1965 is ushered in with the uncut "Ticket To Ride" and the making of its B-side. A pair of Lennon/McCartney rejects conclude the disc.

Set 2
DISC FOUR, shrouded in a haze of herbal smoke, opens with a remake of the hapless "That Means A Lot". The session tape for "Help!" puts you smack dab in EMI #2 as the band struggles with, and ultimately conquers, one of their best numbers. October 1965 arrives bearing a great batch of RUBBER SOUL offcuts, many as good as the ones that ended up on the album. And best of all, the alternates of "I'm Looking Through You" and "12-Bar Original" are in true uncut stereo, unlike certain Apple releases.
1) That Means A Lot - take 20

DISC FIVE concludes the SOUL tapes with the only lengthy "Beatles working at Abbey Road" recording known to exist - a 19-minute look at the November 8th, 1965 "Think For Yourself" vocal overdub session. The only major disappointment in this treasury of tapes is the lack of any outtakes from the REVOLVER LP. Barrett and Scott did audition "For No One" and "Here There And Everywhere" (found on the "bag tapes"), but all we have to represent that fertile time are both takes of "Paperback Writer" and the stereo mix of "Rain". Softening that blow is an in-depth chronicle of "Strawberry Fields Forever" from serene start to freaky finish, as well as some vintage 1967 mixes of its flipside.

Set 3
DISC SIX begins with the only real stretch of these discs without "replayability" - nine tedious stereo remixes (some aborted) of "A Day In The Life". Still, this is the only SGT. PEPPER tape in this collection, and the set wouldn't be complete without it. The mono BBC feed of "All You Need Is Love" puts us right in Studio 1 during the momentous broadcast. Acid reigns on the tape-loop festooned "Flying", and the Ringo-heavy initial take of "Hello Goodbye". Alternate mixes of the basic "Lady Madonna" track follow, and then another treat: "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" in their early incarnations, and with no Emerick interference! Wrapping things up, a pair of "Hey Jude" takes sandwiching some Macca improvs.

DISC SEVEN continues with more lovely and untampered WHITE ALBUM rejects: George's "Not Guilty" and John's "What's The New Mary Jane," as you CAN'T hear them on ANTHOLOGY 3. The GET BACK sessions are well represented by a slew of rock and roll oldies in stereo, as well as two mixes (a Glyn and a Phil) of "Teddy Boy." George's solo demos are a treat to hear in alternate mixes, as is a clean "Come And Get It" from Paul. The disc wraps up with odds and ends: "Because" vocals, with and without instrumentation, Ringo's TV remake of "Octopus's Garden," and finally Glyn John's unused January 1970 mixes for two songs later "reproduced" by Phil Spector

Comment
In the spring of 1983, engineer John Barrett and disc jockey Roger Scott landed what many would consider a dream job: listening to Beatles studio session tapes in a mixing suite at Abbey Road. Barrett had been in charge of cataloging EMI’s Beatles tape library for over a year, and Scott was brought in to assist him in shaping an audiovisual presentation for the public, The Beatles At Abbey Road.
As they auditioned various recordings, Barrett made cassette compilations of various outtakes, creating fresh stereo mixes from the multitracks. Scott also took the liberty of dubbing some session reels from start to finish, along with a few vintage mixes. The result was nearly eight hours of pristine-quality unreleased Beatle material which ended up on various bootlegs over the last 25 years: Ultra Rare Trax, Unsurpassed Masters, et al.
We have compiled ALL of the Barrett/Scott tapes here, straight from the vaults to your ears. All that's missing are the low-fi offline “bag tapes†recorded stealthily by Scott. Not only do those repeat much of this material, they would interrupt what is a pleasant listening experience. The tapes have been sorted in chronological order, speed-corrected, and edited for completeness from various best sources. No noise reduction or equalization has been employed. Sit back, relax, and for God’s sake be quiet! The Red Light's On!
