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!

thanks for the bump Maria
I love this website

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

Only 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.

(sunny)

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! or maybe they are taking the website down for illegaly distributing beatles material (I hope not!)

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?

Quoted from Bruno, posted May 3, 2004, 10:52pm at here

what's purple chick?

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
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!

Go to bootlegzone.com. You'll find that Strawberry Lane is a 2CD set. UnreleasedBeatles.com has not put up every track (as they clearly say).

I've posted some details in the "Albums" section.

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
