Just made a trip to bootlegzone.com to check out some bootlegs I have. Found out there are a few more... My god! There's loads of them! But, besides the Decca Tapes and BBC things, what bootleg should a decent Beatles-fan have in your opinion? Maybe it is true that a real fan has EVERYTHING, but this is just too much. Anybody got any ideas about this?

One Before 911/Every Little Thing/Hard Days and Nights-are recommended for the early stuff. Great studio interplay and Stereo versions of the albums are on there. Great Stuff. The live boots are very sketchy, but Bootlegzone usually has the quality of the bootleg and some reviews. 'The Other Way of Crossing'-the Abbey Road outtakes I'd avoid because most of it is off of Anthology 3. Lennon's Dakota Demos and 'A Heart Play' are highly recommended. I have a ton of CD boots in my collection, if you have a question on a particular disc, PM me and I'll be glad to be of any help.

The 'Unsurpassed Masters' set is also a must have. They now have alot of the early demos in Stereo and sound excellent. 'From Kinfauns to Chaos' is also excellent. Recorded at George's Esher bungalow after the trip to India, it has acoustic 'White album' demos and sounds great.

Hmm, that's what I mean. Thanks. It seems that a lot of stuff appears on a lot of bootlegs with different names. I have the Esher demo's, called 'Beatles Acoustic'. It is the Esher demo's and there are many more bootlegs, all with the same material. It's re-issued over and over again. It would be nice to sort it all out once. Anybody got some spare time! JF, thanks for now, I'll PM you if I've got any special questions.
My favorite bootlegs are the ones from the "The Alternate..." series from Pear Records. They've got one for each Beatles album and they're filled with alternate takes and mixes and live versions.

I have that too, but mine is just called 'Kinfauns'. The sound quality is not nearly as good as on the Esher demos on the Anthology though.
Lots of Beatle bootlegs at these sites,no mp3s just .flac or .shn lossless,get em while they are still hot...lots to download baby!
dimeadozen.org thetradersden.org bootcity.org
Download "bitcomet",or any other bit torrent client,and start downloading,just remember to seed a little.
Thanks for the information, but in fact the bootlegs are not very hard to be found on the net. It is a matter of what to have. I've downloaded some beatles cartoons for instance (the kids like it), but is it necessary to have them all? As said, the quality differs a lot comparing all these bootlegs. So, do you really have to get everything that's available or can one do with just a very good few ones?

Your right,you dont need them all,but there are a few that will blow your mind.. "Its Not too Bad" The evolution of Stawberry Fields "Thirty Days" 17 cds The best of the get back sessions...a must! "The Twickenham Sessions" 8 cds "The White Album Sessions" 4 cds Just for the Hey Jude takes,take 1 is incredible
Like I said,try looking for these in .flac,or .shn,I love everything from the Get Back sessions,Get Back starts out with different lyrics,John gives it a try,Ringo trys to throw in some lyrics and get rejected,all the way to the final rooftop recording,and its the same thing with Let it be,John ends up on Bass somehow,and he clearly does not like it..lol,for me these are becoming more availiable,and are popping up more and more in lossless form,better than mp3,ya just gotta get them when you see them,or perhaps never ever have them,and forget what you've heard about the Get back Sessions being boring,there are some gems in that set.
I have bought or got the regular albums in the past years en realized not to long ago there might be more! I know about bootlegs, but haven't got any. Which do you think is the best to get for first? And did the Beatles put all the radio material on the Beatles at the bbc album? I've read here and there that there are more songs recorded. Is that true and are they on an album?

No, they did not put all their bbc-stuff on the Beatles At The BBC-cd. One more song (Lend Me Your Comb) appeared on the Anthology, but there are songs that are only available on bootlegs. A Picture Of You, Dream Baby and Beautiful Dreamer (any more?) for instance. The total BBC-thing is on BBC Anthology. Think it's 12 cd's tho. The recordings from the Decca audition (January 1st 1962) is a good start and gives a beautiful insight in their early sound.
I guess you can start with the Twickenaham Sessions...
1.Download bitcomet its free http://www.bitcomet.com/ 2.Download the torrent,and then open it http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=4690 3.It will start to download,its a big file 2 and a half gigs 4.This is .shn lossless,if you want to play it on your pc,do a search for .shn codec for the player you are useing,example... "winamp .shn codec download" 5.These sessions are really raw tape rolls,but a lot of good moments.but one disc has Yoko doing some kinda wail...eeew,but dont let that stop ya from getting it,disc 1 really has a good feel to it...get it you'll see.
Yeah, a great place to start is with the 2,000 hours of Twickenham crap.
Pay no attention to him,just get it,its a free copys of all eight cds,you can download and burn them to disc, some kind Beatle fan put tham up,its interesting if you have never heard them,but Juniors right about one thing,it aint all rosy.
The thing is: there is a lot of stuff available, especially when it comes to the Let It Be sessions. Like Juniors remarked: is it really necessary to struggle through these hours of sessions? Can't a normal fan (not a sick one, that is) just deal with The Black Album? But these sessions is just a part of the whole thing. Thnx for the info anyway. It seems everybody picks out his/hers own favorite on this one as well.

You all will have read that, ah ... BootlegZone's no longer with us. But Micky and Titch and I just like to carry on the good work that's always gone down in the bootlegforum.
The great dane has a good copy of hte Beatles bbc 1-9~ I beleave Oil well had a good to ok copy!Some was not that great!
But Few have What john gave me!
These are the BBC MASTERS & say such in between each commecial ect! The quality is great past being great!
There are 6 volumes & so I did not loose quality over the years! All audio went to dvd discs! The dvd has a much better laser & last longer then the cd's!
So I say if you get the chance--snag a set of the BBC Masters!
I'm just sitting here --watching the wheels go round! I realy love to watch them roll!

Bit late to this thread. Erm...Djinn, the BBC doesn't have commercials. Are you sure that they're BBC? And how would John have got the masters, when they're still owned by the BBC?
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
The BBC Masters are Original! The BBC airing did not have commcercals. If You get the BBC like Oil Well Or Great Dain---They also contain comm. These how ever are not the BBC Masters! Much Like the Origanl Casey Casem Tapes----No commercials--- But the Masters have them--These are not copies---These are the original BBC Masters & No BBC Recording is better then These!
I'm just sitting here --watching the wheels go round! I realy love to watch them roll!
yeah i heard he got a dose from back in the germany era...penicillin will clear it up....good luck with that but you should keep stuff like that confidential....
right now I am downloading Glyn John's first mix of "Get Back"
"Wings IV introduced Jimmy McCulloch, a spunky lead guitarist with grit, able to spur Paul on unlike any previous soloist. His debut track, the magnificent single `Junior's Farm', stands as one of Wings' finest emotional and technical releases."
"Few people on this planet know as much about Jimmy's musical history than you."
