Notes

The "John Barrett Tapes" is a revelatory experience for Beatles fans, comprising tracks taken directly from the late Abbey Road engineer's cassette dubs of material he found during the vaults searches in 1982. Included here are tracks never before released on vinyl or on the Anthology series.

John Barrett ripped, after being asked by EMI officials, into his task with gusto, spending weeks listening through every tape and making up a detailed "catalog".

Most of the material dubbed off by Barrett went unissued... until now. Taken from the original cassette dubs, here are a bunch o' Beatles tracks you've never heard. They are all either different takes and completely unissued songs.

Comments and Reviews

Vinyl Fan 12th May 2018		Not a problem TopPopper, I would hope someone would do that for me.
TopPopper 12th May 2018		Indeed - corrected! Thanks for flagging it up. Although credited to the Beatles in this LP, there is a version of Get Back by George, from his solo sessions. Interesting that he'd sing a Lennon-McCartney song with particularly unpleasant associations (George actually walked out of the band during the Get Back sessions).
Vinyl Fan 12th May 2018		Wasn't Don't Bother Me a George Harrison composition?
TopPopper 12th May 2018		Beatles fans will know about the John Barrett tapes. He copies material from the EMI tapes during a reaearch project, and rather naughtily made copies of a good many tracks for himself. Other bootlegs from the same source run to as many as five CD, plus a good copy of one of the Glyn Johns Get Back acetates. This LP contains only 14 cuts.
