True but many beatle fans read that there an acetate of earlier acatate of All You Need Love is out there somewhere and want to hear it. We dont think well at least i can hear everything else thats out there at the moment.

We are spoilt by what we have but at the same time want far more.

Well i do anyway.

If the tape sold on ebay to a fan hopefully it will be released online somewhere someday so we can get to hear it in all its 30 seconds of glory.

However quite a few acetates and other recordings have been auctioned and swallowed up never to be heard again, usually by EMI, Apple or Paul but fan collectors as well. Why a fan would purchase a rare recording/mix and not let others hear it is a mystery, perhaps they are concerned that if it does make its way into the underground it will be traced back to them.

I think it probably is them. I don't see why any other group would have been used to create the clip. They probably just pinched a couple of seconds of tape from one of the early rehearsal takes of a song.

If it was them it was probably a brief studio jam/mess about which was thought appropriate to fit the scene.

Thank you so much! That's really disappointing though, in a way, I was looking forward to hearing a complete song! It makes sense that it would be the Beatles, since they would probably have had to get licensing to play another artist's song in their movie. I wonder why they never developed that idea, it sounds like it had potential.

Its known as Train Music and its quietly debated if its really the beatles or not, I think it was Walter Shenson who said it was. Available is the small clip heard in AHDS plus a couple of extra fragments (about 5 seconds worth in total) which were made available whencomplete tape was sold on ebay a couple of years ago.

Both of these are available on the fan made not for sale Helter Skelter release 'Back To Basics: A Hard Day's Night' which you'll find online to download.

The actual item is not on ebay any longer but the following description was copied from there by ...

Hello all,

I've got a real stumper for y'all. In their movie "A Hard Days Night," in that first scene on the train, Ringo takes a radio out and begins playing a song for a couple seconds before the cranky old guy turns it off. I really liked the guitar tone and the overall sound of it - it's very aggressive, very rock and roll - so I tried looking it up but couldn't find any resource to help me figure what it is. At first I theorized it might be "Matchbox," because they released the Long Tall Sally EP just ...
