Hi folks,

I just wanted to give everybody a heads up that on a site called “UnreleasedBeatles.com” they’ve posted some unreleased Beatles material for free download. This week they’ve posted a collection called Sessions, which The Beatles were going to release as a rarities album, but later decided against it.

This site looks excellent - and the download is free! I have these tracks already, but I've certainly bookmarked it for the future!

Thanks

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:

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!

yeah, I saw a lot of rare material that I don't have too  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!!

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!
