complete song versions list?
« on: February 02, 2008, 08:05:19 AM »

hello all. i'm new here. first post. blah blah blah. i've finally decided to try and get the beatle bootlegs that are floating around out there (well, digital copies of them at least). but it seems like there's so many different boots with different tracklistings. so, i was wondering if there's a list somewhere of the different takes of the beatles' songs so that i could just get the ones that i need from the boots that have them, until i have a complete collection. i know that wikipedia had a pretty good list, but i'm unaware if that's complete or not. i understand that the Get Back sessions is a completely different animal, so i'm gonna save figuring all of that out once i've completed the other albums and sessions. any help would be appreciated!

i don't think anyone has compiled a complete list...you should try to get what you want first and then get the lesser wanted ones....

wow. i'm surprised someone hasn't at least tried to make a list. perhaps i'll try to make one on my quest to compile all of the official takes, mixes, and demos out there. thanks for the reply!

i do believe The Come Together Project is just the kind of thing i was looking for. very exciting stuff. seems it's been worked on for two years (more or less) now. i wonder if there's any end in sight.

TCTP, as far as I can see, seems to have stagnated a bit of late. It's a terrific idea, but a truly monstrous project. From what I can see - and from all good intentions - there seem to be too many people involved, so that instead of everyone working towards the same common goal, they're all working towards a different one. Of all the work that has been done so far it seems that not a single chapter has yet been completed, and I fear that indifference will eventually get the better of it. I wouldn't hold your breath that it will ever be completed.

In the meantime, an extremely good resource is the 'Purple Chick Deluxe' series. You can find out more about them here:

http://x3mkungen.mine.nu/wogev/beatles/pc/index.html

These include a set for each official UK release, in mono and stereo, and with outtakes, all from the best quality sources available.

I have been uploading them to the Bootleg Forum here, but you need to have 250 posts to get in to that. However you can start downloading them from my blog - 6plus3 - by clicking on the image in my signature.

To compliment the Purple Chick Deluxe series, Lazy Tortoise have been issuing a series of documentary style CD's, containing interviews, and live material. The collection currently stands at 27 volumes, some single CD's, and some up to 8 CD's. You can also start downloading these from my blog.

Hope this helps, and remember to say hi if you pop by the blog.

Paul.
