Hi folks,
I just wanted to give everybody a heads up that on a site called
-
This site looks excellent - and the download is free! I have these tracks already, but I've certainly bookmarked it for the future!
Thanks :D
-
Looks, cool! Is it just bootlegs and stuff?
-
What a strange offering on a site devoted to unreleased Beatles. The Beatles' Anthology sets rendered the Sessions album (in most guises) redundant!
Here is a more interesting offering I came across recently: the "lost" Beatles single:
http://www.geocities.com/unbaggage
Sour Milk Sea is a great blend of George's Kinfauns demo and the George-produced Jackie Lomax recording. Basically it seems to be George's demo added to the Lomax recording with Lomax's vocals removed. Whoever did this mix has given us a great track!
Can You Take Me Back is the longest mix of this McCartney/Beatles ditty that I've heard. Very nicely done.
-
wow, that website is awesome, but I think some songs are the same as in the anthology, am I right?? I'm listening to 'Come and get it' and it sounds exactly like the anthology 3 version.
edit: they are definitely featured in the anthology albums (most of the songs) except for christmas time and a few others

Yeah you are right - see Maria's post above. Those tracks were chosen for release as The Beatles "Sessions", and also included the release of a single - "Leave My Kitten Alone". The album was scrapped when John died. The tracks are pretty much the same as the ones on Anthology.
I'm hoping that all those other titles listed will be available for download soon! That's why I bookmarked the site! :D

yeah, I saw a lot of rare material that I don't have too ;D That list looks great
-
Bump.
Both for http://www.unreleasedbeatles.com
and http://www.geocities.com/unbaggage
-
OK, not as hip as I like to think I am.
What is 'bump'??
-
It's "bump" in the sense of "bumping the thread to the top of the list".
It's done to keep a thread fresh. In this case, people who may have missed the links earlier on get a chance to see them.
Both links are interesting for Phab Phans.
-
phantasmic
-
Thanks Maria.
Bumpdebumpdebomp.
-
guys, the website is updated!! they have new rare stuff, check it out!! :D
-
Yes - lots of nice stuff, if you haven't got it. Two boots called Antholgy More 1 and 2. And Sessions is still there.
-
Another bump for unreleasedbeatles.com
Unicorn's Acetate Collection, and Yellow Dog's Acetates (single CD version, YD09) are available for download.
But the BIG news is that this great fan says he's putting up Purple Chick's Upgraded Complete BBC Sessions next!!
Apart from a Russian site I know of, this is the best bootleg download site around at the moment. I hope his bandwidth survives!
-
thanks for the bump Maria :)
I love this website :D
-
I feel bad downloading bootlegged Beatles songs. However if they won't release them officially on their own then I have no choice. I do the exact same thing with the Zeppelin.

I still only see Anthology More 1 & 2, and Sessions. Is there another page I'm missing here?

that's weird, anyway here's the direct link in case you still have problems:
Acetate Collection (http://unreleasedbeatles.com/Acetate%20Collection/)
Only Acetates (http://unreleasedbeatles.com/Acetates/)
-
Brilliant, thanks Bruno! I just figured out the problem - I was looking at a cached page, I've now got the updated home page!
This really is a GREAT site! I don't feel guilty about it at all - I'm not taking anything from the Beatles; just the bootleggers - and after all these years THEY owe me for all the money I've spent! ;)
-
yes it is true
-
Yeah, fantastic site with some cool stuff on there.
It would be nice if we could have some covers so we can add them to our prised Beatles collection...?
-
You'll find scans of many, many covers at bootlegzone.com.

Can you take me back was awesome. best bit was when the recorded version kicked in at the end of the song after lots of improv.

I thought Maria worked for the FBI.

-
does it work this week??
-
uhmm, that's weird sisse, I'm trying to access the site too but it doesn't seem to be working right now. Maybe they're updating it and we're going to have new stuff for downloading! :D or maybe they are taking the website down for illegaly distributing beatles material (I hope not!) ;D
-
Wont work for me either! I hope it's NOT the end!!!!!!!!!
-
it said they where putting up Purple Chick's live at the bbc and it's like 10 or 11 cds so maybe it's just taking them awhile?
-
what's purple chick?
-
[quote by=Bruno link=Blah.pl?b=cc,m=1081885757,s=30 date=1083624737]what's purple chick?[/quote]
It's the company or whatever that made it or put it together it's like yellow dog.
-
It's working right now but it's still acetate.
-
Another bump, because the first two Purple Chick BBC discs are now available for download.
Also available is "Strawberry Lane", a Silent Sea effort of Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane demos, mixes, takes, etc.
-
woohoo, they finally updated the site :D
I can't wait for next week!
-
Anyone got a listing for the Strawb/PennyL boot? Can't tell from the FTP site what cut is which.
Thanks!

Thanks. I took Maria's suggestion...A year or so ago I was signed up with Bootlegzone but I kept having sign in problems, so I kept making new accounts...and totally forgot my password/usernames.
So I just made a new one. This one I'll remember. And the notation was excellent, told me everything I needed to know.
-
Another heads-up!
A new truck-load of Fab juicies now available at unreleasedbeatles.com.
The guy/girl that runs that site is a SAINT! I wish there was an email address there so I could thank her/him for what's being offered!
-
Another tiny bump! I LOVE that site!!!
-
wooow, I agree with Maria, we must find the guy's email and thank him, the website is awesome :D
-
That site is really great!!! I'm listening to Complete BBC Sessions Upgraded 1 right now, I love it!!!It's so exciting!!!It feels like I was right there!!! I can't wait to download the other ones! I'm downloading the Upgraded 2 now!
I also agree, we should find that guy's email and tell him how much thankful we are!!!
-
Oh my God!!! I'm kind of too upset!! I was downloading songs and suddenly it kicks me out saying that I need to pay if I want to continue downloading from that site..now that really turned me down :'( :'( :'( Could somebody please pay that money for me???Cos I'm cheap..or when you get your password could someone share it with me???Please???This is really sad, what he'd done... :'(I can't believe it...I'm down I'm really down I'm down Down on the ground :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
It probably exeeded it's file transfer quota/band width or something like that! It might be OK again tomorrow! ;D
-
at another forum broad he said he was having problems will i went there and this is what he had to say
Sorry Paolo,
I've got the disc space to leave them up, it's just the wanton bandwidth use that I'm trying to discourage...
I've got a tremendous amount of visitors that consume 300-400 MB's per session. I don't understand this since I've never even had more than a fraction of that up at once...
Must be that folks are just playing the songs all day over and over again from the site...
With 1k- 1500 visitors a day, this get's expensive, fast.
The more I have up there the more I seem to attract these folks...I want to make sure I've got enough bandwidth for everyone!
UB
that was a few days agian to tell you the turth i don't even know what bandwidth is all i know is you got to pay the guy now.
-
I've got a feeling that this is a set up.
He goes to Beatlelinks (a very popular forum; I post there under another name), and advertizes his stuff. Hits start pouring in
-
I agree with Maria, this site all of the sudden seems a lil bit fishy.
I knew this was going to eventually happen though, I mean, if you have unreleased material from the most popular music band in the world chances are that you're going to have a lot of traffic in your website, and yes, bandwitdh it's not free and it can become expensive.
But I think Maria made a good point; the guy running the site should offer only one album per week (he started that way, remember?) and of course, compressing the files will help save bandwith too.
Just look at the site, they have:
Complete BBC Sessions Upgraded 3
Complete BBC Sessions Upgraded 4
Get Back Journals II 1
Get Back Journals II 2
Lost Pepperland Reel
Complete BBC Sessions Upgraded 1
Complete BBC Sessions Upgraded 2
Strawberry Lane
that makes a total of eight albums full of tracks!!... no wonder the guy is having problems!!
I hope the guy running the site can solve the problem and maintain it free :(
-
I truly hope this wasn't a scam! Perhaps offering all these goodies absolutely free really IS costing him money! It was good while it lasted and certainly saved me a lot of money, but now the the choice is ours - say thank you and goodnight or pay up and enjoy the rest of the downloads.
I must admit I am VERY tempted to pay, seeing as Beatles' bootleg CDs cost over ?15 in the UK (aprox $30)! I'll wait and see what his next move is though!!! ;D
-
yeah, the idea of paying is very tempting but I'll wait too.
Luckily, I downloaded all the new stuff he posted yesterday before he made the site password-protected
-

Hee hee - me too! LOL ;D
-
There is no guarantee he will keep uploading material after you have paid. He may not even send you a password!
I wouldn't carry out any transactions at all with someone who gives as his only contact "unreleasedbeatles@yahoo.com". That's far too anonymous.
-
maybe we should write a 'group mail' signed by all of us, asking him to give us a free password and username because we love his website and we are huge beatles fans ;D

Hmm
-
I was half-way through downloading the Strawberry Lane album before they started this pay-pal stuff. I would have been done already if I was still at school, but Finals were over a week ago. I had high-speed internet in my dorm room, but here at home I have slow dial-up internet. I really want the rest of that stuff before it is gone, but Maria makes a very good point. Well, more than one. I am a pretty skeptical person myself, but my fiance wants us to buy a subscription. Yes, it is cheap for all the music we'll get, but how do we know he isnt just a big liar and its all stuff we could actually find somewhere else if we looked hard enough? I say we set out on a search on the internet to find more sites like this, only ones that are free - or at least trustworthy enough to contribute to. I'm still confused though as to wether or not I should go ahead and buy this. Has anyone bought a subscription yet? If so, has he been true to his word so far?
-
Yeah, very good advice, Maria. It might be worth just buying a monthly subscription, that way you're not going to lose too much money if it is a rip off.
-
For those who are not aware of it, the biggest free music collection still available are the alt.binary newsgroups.
With a program like X-News (free) it will decode the files automatically and you can download to your hearts content.
-
Good point, Mr Charles. If you're new to "beatlegs", alt.binaries are good. As you say, free sites are getting thin.
There really is no need to risk (and it is a risk) giving your money to a complete stranger.
-
Thanks for the info - any ideas whether these programs will work on a Mac?
-
Is this site you speak of legal? Or is it like Kazaa and all the others?
-
Usenet groups are as ancient as the net itself. They are what they say: basic bulletin boards to exchange news and ideas. Over time new groups were created for almost every facet of human interaction (yes, including "erotica"). The binary groups are not news posts per se but uploaded files, split into pieces that need a decoder to download and decode.
Yes, they are entirely legal. At this time. RIAA seems to not know or care about them, so it's best to not advertise them too much. But pictures were always disseminated this way, and mp3's and avi's are now as well.
There are freeware decoder programs (X-News which I use but is not the easiest in the world to use...I still don't know 80% of what the heck it does), check download sites.
-
so can you name a site?
-
If you have a newsreader and a newsserver, sure:
alt.binaries.beatles
alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.beatles
A lot of duplication but that's ok.
NEWSSERVER: Teranews.com allows 50 MB free each day after a $3.95 setup fee.
-
it's been updated now, but you still need to pay :(
-
I'd love to know if anyone who has paid has got a password yet.
-

I paid and received my password straight away... and it works! It still seems like a good deal to me - it's saving me a lot of money on Bootlegs! :)
-
damn I don't have a credit card yet and now I really want to be a member! :( :(

That's really great. It kind of restores my faith. I could have sworn this was a scam! I was just too cynical!
-
The subscription has changed though (did anyone else notice that?) - the minimum is now 3 months instead of 1 month.
I don't think you can pay by credit card - I tried but couldn't fathom it out! I paid via my Pay Pal account - you just enter in the Unreleased Beatles email address (remember to suppy YOUR email address or you wont get the password!) and they do the rest.
Some GREAT downloads this week too! ;D
-
Thanks End. Sorry about having to go to a bandwidth surcharge, but bandwidth consumption was getting way out of hand and doubling every week. To give you an idea, I had 15% (20GB's) of my daily bandwidth going to (only) several points in Japan. I had HUNDREDS of people who were using 300-500 GB's a day. They must have been playing the music from the site all day, over and over again. I had MP3 search engines who were sending me thousands of downloaders a day, and on and on...
Bandwidth consumption was really preventing me from going to where I wanted to go with the site. Now I can put a lot of material up (an interesting selection of "core" beatlegs) instead of 1 or 2 albums. If I was a beatleg visitor, I'd much rather pay a small bandwidth surcharge and have access to several new "core" albums a week, than pay nothing and only have access to 1 or 2. The amount of money we're talking about is less than what you would pay for postage alone if you were to do a trade(assuming you could find the material) and the "trade" at Unreleasedbeatles.com is done instantly instead of having to wait several weeks, hoping your counterpart actually sends you the quality product they've committed to. The site is a lot faster and more stable for those that have supported it, which seems only fair to me.
My goal is to provide the best and most "core" beatlegs to new and intermediate collectors in an organized, expediant and inexpensive way. It's a shame that some of the best Beatles material has to remain under lock and key, gathering dust on vault shelves when there are so many people that really want to appreciate it.
Thanks,
UB

hey jmccar2 can I like send you money because I don't have a credit card
-
Hi Bruno,
Check your PM's.
If anyone else is interested in an alternative to Paypal, follow the directions on the site and send a request (for a PO Box to send a Money Order to)to "unreleasedbeatles@yahoo.com".
Thanks,
UB

"...I had HUNDREDS of people who were using 300-500 GB's a day..."
Oops, that should read "I had HUNDREDS of people who were using 300-500 MB's a day.
--not GB's.
-
Hi UB!
Thanks for the info - but more importantly, thanks for Unreleased Beatles.com!
One SMALL question... what happened to track 21 on Get Back Journals 4? It's not there! ;D
Keep up the brilliant work - it's much appreciated, and I agree, VERY good value for money.
Cheers
AL :)
-
thanks, I checked my email and I'll send the money asap
just out of curiosity, why isn't the site working right now?

Hi End,
A heads up that on Sunday or Monday I'll be posting Upgraded BBC 2004. This is all the best off of Great Dane, Upgraded BBC and the recent YD release: Sounds like the authoritative issue of the BBC's!

is the other stuff going to stay up too?
