The Beatles - Dr. Ebbetts Album Collection MFSL Japan (14 CD, 2008) [FLAC + 24/96]

The Beatles: The Collection was a vinyl boxed set of every Beatles album remastered at half speed from the original stereo master recordings, except for Magical Mystery Tour which was mastered from Capitol Records' submasters with the last three tracks in rechanneled stereo.

Released with much anticipation in early October 1982, The Collection was lauded by critics and Beatles fans worldwide for the superb sound, and sold-out completely within the first year. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL) pressed a second run of the Beatles Boxed Set for a total production run of 25,000 over the next two years or until October 1985.

Each album was pressed on black vinyl by the Victor Company of Japan. The album covers were replaced with photographs of tape boxes and log sheet. The original album covers were included in a booklet which also featured a certificate of authenticity as this was a limited edition collection. Missing from this collection were all of the Beatles' singles, extended Play and a few miscellaneous tracks that did not appear on their original UK albums.

John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band (The Ultimate Collection, 8 CD, 2021) [FLAC + 24/192]

 

“Plastic Ono Band,” released in December 1970, was John Lennon’s first solo album after the breakup of the Beatles earlier that year. It was a far cry from the tuneful reassurance of Paul McCartney’s one-man-studio-band album “McCartney” and the polished abundance of George Harrison’s triple album, “All Things Must Pass,” both of which were also released that year. In both music and lyrics, “Plastic Ono Band” was a stark statement of pain, separation, vulnerability and self-reclamation after the whirlwind that had been Lennon’s life as a Beatle. Half a century later, the album retains its power.

Now it has been remixed, massively expanded, anatomized and annotated as “Plastic Ono Band: The Ultimate Collection”. The compilation was produced by Yoko Ono, Lennon’s widow and a producer (with Lennon and Phil Spector) of the original album, and Simon Hilton; there are other configurations for less obsessive fans.

The Beatles - Complete BBC Sessions [10 CD, 2004] [FLAC]


The Beatles performed for fifty-two BBC Radio programmes, beginning with an appearance on the series Teenager's Turn—Here We Go, recorded on 7 March 1962, and ending with the special The Beatles Invite You to Take a Ticket to Ride, recorded on 26 May 1965; in total, 275 performances of 88 different songs were broadcast. Early bootlegs of some of the performances were based on low-quality home recordings of the broadcasts from the radio. It was not the BBC's practice to archive either the session tapes or the shows' master tapes, but many good quality distribution copies were found in various BBC departments during research for BBC radio specials produced in the 1980s.

The Beatles - The Beatles And Esher Demos (4 LP, 2018) [24-96]

The end of May, 1968: the Beatles meet up at Kinfauns, George Harrison’s bungalow in Esher. Just back from India, gearing up to go hit Abbey Road and start their next album, the lads bang out some rough acoustic tunes into George’s newfangled Ampex reel-to-reel tape deck. The result is one of their weirdest and loveliest unreleased recordings: the Esher demos. There’s nothing else in their music quite like this. Most of the 27 songs ended up on the White Album, yet there’s none of that record’s tension and dread.


The Beatles - Revolver [5 CD Super Deluxe Edition] (2022) [FLAC + FLAC 24-96]


The Beatles
seventh studio album – and the bridge between Rubber Soul and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band – 1966’s Revolver is recognized as one of the Fab Four’s most groundbreaking as well as significant albums.


With producer George Martin, the group employed studio wizardry to bring their new songs to life – tape loops, automatic double tracking, close miking, use of varispeed and reversed tapes, among other techniques that would soon be imitated by countless others – as well as non-traditional instrumentation. It didn’t hurt, of course, that all of these innovations were in service of some of The Beatles’ strongest songs yet, including “Eleanor Rigby,” “Here, There, and Everywhere,” “And Your Bird Can Sing,” “Taxman, “ ”Good Day Sunshine,” “Got to Get You Into My Life,” and “Tomorrow Never Knows.” Engineer Geoff Emerick, who counted Revolver as his first work with the group, noted that it “changed the way everyone else made records.”

Now on October 28, Apple, Capitol, and UMe are offering the opportunity to hear it anew with a variety of remastered, remixed and deluxe editions overseen by producer Giles Martin (son of George) and engineer Sam Okell.





 

VA - The Beatles, Wings, Badfinger, Elephant's Memory ... - Apple Singles Collection (1968-1991) (16 CD, 2021)

 

Apple Records is a record label founded by the Beatles in 1968 as a division of Apple Corps Ltd. It was initially intended as a creative outlet for the Beatles, both as a group and individually, plus a selection of other artists including Mary Hopkin, James Taylor, Badfinger, and Billy Preston. In practice, the roster had become dominated by the mid-1970s with releases of the former Beatles as solo artists. Allen Klein managed the label from 1969 to 1973, then it was managed by Neil Aspinall on behalf of the Beatles and their heirs. Aspinall retired in 2007 and was replaced by Jeff Jones.

The Beatles- The Beatles (White Album) [6 CD Super Deluxe 2018/FLAC]

  

In The Beatles’ long and winding history, their self-titled 1968 album is considered by many to be the beginning of the end. Not musically, of course—raw and sprawling, “The White Album” contains some of their richest and most enduring songs—but insofar as the LP showed they were starting to work and develop distinct styles apart from one another. But to hear Giles Martin, son of the late longtime Beatles producer George Martin, tell it, the truth may be more complicated. His evidence: This new 107-track collection he has overseen, featuring a fresh mix of the original album, freewheeling studio outtakes, and the 27 holy-grail acoustic “Esher demos” largely recorded at George Harrison’s house following the band’s consciousness-expanding off-site in India. To Martin, these loose, candid recordings show a band playing off one another’s chemistry in the studio, working together with humor and camaraderie to spare. “You can’t make a record like ‘The White Album’ if you’re arguing,” he says. Martin tells Apple Music which tracks best prove his theory, and how this set offers insight for completists and casual fans alike.


The Beatles - Studio Sessions: Back To Basics Collection [6 Sets / 18 CD, 2011]

 

A European Fan created label looking to provide a new core collection of material, accurately transferred without processing and they have achieved it with several other labels copying their releases.

The number of reissues from this label is frustrating for some collectors and all discographers but for anyone looking for the new material as it becomes available and/or the best sources what is there to complain about well sourced and collated material for free.

The Back To Basic Series has been so popular it has been copied by at least four factory pressed labels, but are usually out of date by the time they hit the streets.



 

The Beatles - Artifacts- The Definitive Collection Of Beatles Rarities 1958-1970 [5 CD, 1993] [FLAC]

  

Its release predated the officially produced Anthology by more than two years, and its hard to believe Anthology didn't take some cues from this beautifully produced set. Collecting some of the most significant bootlegs of the last 25-odd years in chronological order, Artifacts tells the complete Beatles story through 122 outtakes, live concert tracks, demos, overdub sessions, and rehearsals spread out across five discs with complete linear notes and full color photos.



The Beatles - The Lost Album II [14 CD, 2019]

 

'The Lost Album' project was born from the idea of gathering for the first time all the Beatles unreleased compositions.
Also relevant variations of known Beatles compositions, improvs, jams, and cover versions performed by the group
that were never included in any studio album or single.





The Beatles - Mythology Vol. 1- 3 [1963-1969] [11 CD/FLAC]

 

Apart from The Complete BBC sessions, this is the one bootleg that all British Beatle fans should own. In addition to an excellent selection of studio outtakes, it includes every known British concert recording between 1963 and 1965, as well as key interviews and spoken performances such as Juke Box Jury. This captures, what the British experience of Beatlemania felt like at the time. Even the later, admittedly more tedious, interviews, remind us of how it was towards the end. In short, a necessary and highly enjoyable part of any serious Beatles fan's collection, whether you happened to be there or not.





 

The Beatles - The Lost Album [8 CD, 2017]


 'The Lost Album' was born from the idea of gathering for the first time all the Beatles unreleased compositions, performed by themselves, as well as cover versions that were not included in any official album.

Many of these tracks come from demos, home recordings, rehearsals, etc, so the original quality is low. In this album we try to improve the audio quality as much as possible, recovering audio drops, fixing technical problems, recording failures and so on.
 
Software tools have been used to clean, remaster and enhance the tracks, without ever losing the fidelity of their originals. Short and unfinished songs were sewn into each other, with soft transitions, resulting in a more consistent track.
The overdubs and collages used were extracted from original Beatles material.
