Happy to Joe. Like any beatle fan i feel that their recordings should be shared freely and willingly - unless they've been officially released and out there when you should pay, at the best possible price.

I've written a piece about the session here. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Have listened to this and whats on the Purple Chick From Then To You bootleg and only 1 minute 31 of the 25:50 tape is on there and even that is very small fragments.

There is another track on the bootleg that lasts 12 minutes. This is most certainly to be from this same recording session but is completely different, for one it has sound effects added by the Beatles.

My position on bootlegs is reasonably relaxed, though I don't want this to be a place where people trade illegal material. What I'm definitely not in favour of is people sharing stuff that's available commercially - the last thing I want is the record label and rights holders on my back.

I've found some more info on that Xmas session - I'll put together an article on it.

Therefore i consider the blog content to be contra band, at least slightly shadey in the legalistic department.

But this beatles recording is out there.

We do have a thread in which you can post links to Beatles Related sites.

Joe started the thread himself. Thanks very much for sharing.

Found a website that describes whats on an edited tape of this.

Has anyone else heard [of] this? Im absolutely thrilled to find a beatle recording that i didnt even ...]]> Fri, 16 Sep 2011 16:37:38 +0100
