TVD's Daily Wax | The Beatle Bootlegs


Despite the odd compilation or two or the recent 'Anthology' releases, I wasn't a member of the buying public when there actually was a NEW Beatles record. It was all out there by the time I got to it. And I chipped away...one LP at a time and largely out of sequence which gives me a broad appreciation for their career--from the Cavern to the Rooftop. The latter era informs today's bootleg 'The Auction Tapes' which are 'Let it Be' and subsequently 'Abby Road' rehearsals. And actually, when I listen to these...I'm truly hearing a few things that really are, well...new.

The Beatles - All Things Must Pass/Mean Mr. Mustard/Don't Let Me Down/All Things Must Pass/Fools Like Me/You Can Win Again (Mp3)
The Beatles - Don't Be Cruel/Costa Del Sol/My One And Only Prayer/My Baby Left Me (Mp3)
The Beatles - Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying/Sexy Sadie/Blue Suede Shoes (Mp3)
The Beatles - If Tomorrow Ever Comes/What Do You Wanna Make Those Eyes At Me For (Mp3)
The Beatles - She Came Into The Bathroom Window/Sausages and French Fries/Hi Ho Silver/Stand By Me (Mp3)
