THE BEATLES "Let it End" Apple Records New Zealand, SAPCOR 42, 2 LPs in 1 CD, 1969 

"Having been deluged over the years by numerous outtake LPs from the Let It Be sessions, it is truly refreshing to hear a well organized alternate album (in original track order.)  So here's an LP with the original running order (as much as possible) but All completely different takes.  However, since there are no alternate takes of Maggie Mae in existence, we've substituted the classic The Walk (in stereo) instead.  Why wasn't that on the original LP anyway, it's FAB!  It would have been superb to have left Let it End as a single album, but we still had 22 unreleased songs left over after Revolting.  So, we have taken the opportunity to complete the Let It Be session on this album...We trust you have enjoyed our extensive series of "alternate" albums, and invite you to complete your set with our final release "Lifting Material from the World," where we conclude with a fabulous compilation of rare and previously unheard selections from the solo Beatles."  Ram on!  Leon Throf"

THE BEATLES - ''COMPLEAT '' APPLE UK SINGLES AUDIOPHILE COLLECTION - 11 MINI LP BOX

THE BEATLES - ''COMPLEAT '' APPLE UK SINGLES COLLECTION

WOW, This BOX comes with 10 fantastic Mini LPs full of UK singles in a total of 203 songs. Along with it, one superb mini double Poster that shows 72 covers and labels of the APPLE originals. Besides all Beatles work and solo singles from 1968 to 1996, we also have those APPLE related artists that the Beatles help out, like BADFINGER, MARY HOPKIN, ETC.. But let's be honest, have you ever heard the two Trash singles? Hot Chocolate & Give Peace a Chance or the Sundown Playboys? Or even the FAB Golden Slumbers from a lost DEMO from White Trash, that was produced by George Harrison in 1969? Here you can find them all in audiophile quality for the VERY FIRST TIME! Disc Ten offers FAB stuff like bonus songs, acetates, rejected singles, etc.. this is a very, very rare collection. Essencial recordings before APPLE went belly up. Harrison, 45, 78 singles, Paul 45 singles, canceled singles, singles that were only mailed to John Lennon, 45 and 78 Badfinger singles, James Taylor APPLE singles before he ditched APPLE and all the artists The Beatles helped produced in excellent audiophile quality, one can only find in here! PLUS, A BONUS DVD WITH THE BIRTH OF THE BEATLES EUROPEAN EXTENDED VERSION (ALL REGION)

The real strength of this collection, though, is context. It is one thing to read about Apple, the relationships among the Beatles and the artists in their orbit before and after the breakup, and how Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr sparked each other artistically (or not) as solo artists.
But it is fascinating to actually hear the work in chronological order, as it was recorded and released.



Several obscure singles and B-sides are included that have never been officially released on CD, taken from the original vinyl pressings. There is also interesting miscellany like "King of Fuh" by Brute Force -- a record pressed by Apple but unable to find a distributor  because of its (now rather tame) vulgarity. The quality throughout is excellent.



















You have three choices : one is to get all individual APPLE releases, Two, get this amazing compilation or three, listen to Red Rose Spedway and pretend you have everything you need from the post APPLE era...

DISC ELEVEN - BIRTH OF THE BEATLES EUROPEAN EXTENDED VERSION

100 MIN. ALL REGION DVD

The film focuses on the early history of 1960s rock band The Beatles. It was released only nine years after the announced break-up
of The Beatles themselves, and is the only Beatles biopic (others include Backbeat, In His Life: The John Lennon Story, The Hours and Times,
John and Yoko: A Love Story, Lennon Naked and to a lesser extent The Linda McCartney Story) to be made while John Lennon was still alive. The film tries very hard to be accurate, opening with a written statement read out by a narrator stating the authenticity of the production, emphasising as it put it: "former Beatle, Pete Best" acting as technical advisor.

Another attempt at authenticity is that most of the cast look alarmingly similar to the real people they are supposed to be playing. The four actors portraying John, Paul, George and Ringo look uncannily similar to the real deal, but Pete Best and Stu Sutcliffe bear a lesser resemblance. The performances from the actors are also quite good, with Stephen MacKenna and Ray Ashcroft provided stunningly real-sounding vocal impersonations of John and Ringo.
In what has become an unofficial tradition of rock 'n' roll movies based on true stories, some of the real events/sequence of events have been abridged or omitted. This has a positive effect on the film, allowing it to cover a broad stretch of time and not making it feel rushed, while also adding to the drama when the real events may not have been as such. A prime example of this is when Stu Sutcliffe dies of a brain haemorrhage about half-way through the film. In the film, it takes place in the midst of the band's second trip to Hamburg, meaning the other have to deal with this loss and still fulfill their engagement. They still manage to give great performances and they must overcome the tragedy in order to make their journey to fame. In real life, this was not how things happened. In real life, Stu was still alive living in Hamburg with his German girlfriend Astrid when the other departed from the second trip, and it was when they returned on the third trip to Hamburg they discovered Stu had died the
night before they arrived. By adapting events, though, the film not only makes things more dramatic, but in fact speeds things up and
keeps the plot flowing smoothly by only portraying two trips to Hamburg.

The 2010 Doc Ebbett Vinyl Remasters
Rock & Roll
Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs - MFSL
Pressed in Japan on JVC *Super Vinyl*

The Beatles: The Collection was a vinyl box set of every Beatles album remastered at half speed from the original stereo master recordings, except for Magical Mystery Tour which was mastered from Capitol Records' submasters with the last three tracks in rechanneled stereo. Each album was pressed on virgin vinyl by the Victor Company of Japan ensuring the best sound quality possible. The album covers were replaced with photographs of tape boxes and log sheet. The original album covers were included in a booklet which also featured a certificate of authenticity as this was a limited edition collection. Missing from this collection was all of the Beatles' singles that did not appear on their original
UK albums.

Released with much anticipation in early October 1982, The Collection was lauded by critics and fans worldwide for the superb sound, and sold-out completely within the first year. MFSL repressed a second run of the Beatles Box Set for a total production run of 25,000 over the next two years or until October 1985. Today, The Collection fetches up to $10,000.00 for a mint condition set on online auctions.

A note on this Ebbetts unique release :

No one ever heard of Ebbetts neddle dropping the UHQR Pepper, right? Wrong, on his last interview, Ebbetts disclosed his secret, telling Doug Sulpy he had done a drop of this fantastic Album from a sealed 180 grams vinyl and he was very proud of it (see below), well Beatlefriends, here it is for all of you to enjoy the BEST Pepper release EVER!




This rare boxed set was produced in a limited edition, individually hand numbered run of 5000. The UHQR itself stood for Ultra High Quality Record.
The vinyl is 180gm 'Super Vinyl', developed from improvements made during the creation of CD-4 Quadraphonic records. It is designed to be flatter, more consistent, harder wearing & pressed on an extreme precision press, almost totally eliminating disc eccentricity or warpage.

This gives excellent channel separation & is designed for a flat frequency response across the range with negligible distortion or mid-range disc surface vibration.

The box itself contains two carbon foam anti stain pads, one fold over stiffening card, a fold-out technical specification manual, a UHQR individually numbered & signed Certificate Of Authenticity, and the 13 Track vinyl LP in a unique hand numbered picture sleeve with anti-static inner.

The box itself is high quality, textured & embossed with red text.

Originally released in 1967.

Limited edition of 5000 custom pressings. It was made from the master stamper at the Victor Company of Japan (JVC) plant in Yokohama, Japan during the July 1982.  

THE STORY BEHIND THIS 1982 RELEASE (For those who care about it like me)

The Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (or MFSL ) Beatles Box set was released in 1982 (exact date unknown to me, either October or November). It's official name is "The Beatles/ The Collection" and it's catalogue number is MFSL BC-1.

Before the box set, MFSL had already released three of the Beatles LPs as individual items. The first was "Abbey Road" either on December 1979 or January 1980. The process for the discs included using the master tapes (when available) and then utilizing "half-speed" mastering of the laquers. This was then pressed onto "super vinyl" when sent from California (MFSL headquarters) to the Yokohama factory of the Victor company in Japan in order to fabricate the metal masters and the press the records. This "super vinyl" was transparent when held up to light and was heavy vinyl and harder than regular vinyl in order to establish the best sound possible. The master tape used for "Abbey Road" was actually the Capitol sub-masters and not the original from Abbey Road.

The second Beatles LP from MFSL was "Magical Mystery Tour". The master used for this project was actually from EMI but this version originated from Capitol and was used by EMI for the 1970s re-issue. This didn't make much sense when considering that this version contained second generation stereo for eight songs and fake (duophonic) stereo for three songs. This second release was put out on February 01 1981.

The third Beatles LP from MFSL was "The Beatles (White Album)" issued on January 07 1982. The master tapes used for this project were also sub-masters from Capitol.

All of the above covers were released with colour banners at the top denoting that there were "Original Master Recordings". "Abbey Road" had the standard cover, "Magical Mystery Tour" had the re-issued gatefold without the booklet and "The Beatles (White Album)" was not embossed not did it contain the poster and individual photos. The labels for these three pressings were white with black print. "Abbey Road" has the target Capitol logo, "Magical Mystery Tour" has the EMI logo (ironically) and "The Beatles" has the dome Capitol logo.

The box set was then released. The remaining 10 LPs were as follows: "Please Please Me" (using the original master tape from EMI), "With The Beatles" (also using the original master tape from EMI) "A Hard Day's Night" (also using the original master tape from EMI), "Beatles For Sale" (using a re-mix from the four track tape), "Help!" (using a re-mix tape), "Rubber Soul" (using a re-mix tape), "Revolver" ( using the original master tape from EMI), "Sgt. Pepper" (using a re-mix tape), "Yellow Submarine" (using a re-mix tape) and "Let It Be" (using a corrected copy tape). It is also interesting to note that "Pepper" in this set does not contain the recording of the high frequency or the "inner groove".

Each of the 14 discs in the box set have the white labels with black print. All have rice paper inner sleeves and are surrounded by a cardboard gatefold sleeve and housed in custom covers. The custom covers feature a photo of a tape (actually the same tape is used for all the covers) and an open tape box which shows information as to when the tape was removed from the box and used for issues and re-mixing for various countries, etc. The sound is amazing.

The box set also includes a "Geo-Disc" which is a 12 inch plastic platter used to align and set your stylus and cartridge to a transcription deck !!

The box set also comes with a 12 by 12 40-page colour booklet which explains the MFSL process, contains a certificate of authenticity individually numbered (my copy is 11,734). The booklet also contains reproductions of all the Beatles LP covers - front and back: "Please Please Me" has the "stereo" marking on the front and stereo catalogue number on the back; "With The Beatles" has no marking on the front and stereo catalogue number on the back; "A Hard Day's Night" has the "stereo marking on the front and stereo catalogue number on the back; "Beatles For Sale" has no marking on the front and the mono catalogue number within the left inner sleeve of the gatefold; "Help!" has the "stereo" marking on the front and stereo catalogue number on the back; "Rubber Soul" has no marking on the front and the mono catalogue number on the back; "Revolver" also has no marking on the front and the mono catalogue number on the back; "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" has the mono catalogue number; "The Beatles" has no indications of denoting "stereo" anywhere on the cover; "Yellow Submarine" has the mono catalogue number on the back and is missing the original red lines from the first pressing releases; lastly "Magical Mystery Tour" and "Let It Be" use the re-issue covers from the 1970s thereby eliminating the booklet for "MMT" and using the EMI/Parlophone logo rather than the Apple logo for "Let It Be". I point this out as all of the issues are in stereo and it would have been nice to use the original covers for all of the above with their stereo catalogue numbers.

The booklet also contains a discography at the back. The whole book is surrounded by a sturdy white cardboard outer sleeve. Finally, the set comes with a "Certificate of Limited Warranty".

Supposedly, 25,000 copies of this box set were released. All sold out within a year.

Starting in June 1984, the rest of the Beatles LPs were released individually as the remainder of the "Original Master Recordings" series start with "Rubber Soul". One anomoly is the version of "With The Beatles" as an individual MFSL record, it is rarer than the others due to the fact that a damaged metal part for the recording ensured it had a very limited run.
