Beatles showed a total performance of nearly 300 songs for 52 times in total from March 1961 before the debut from June 1965 after debut, with live performances at the BBC studio and audience theaters . For the Beatles, the appearance on television and radio was an important promotion place for record sales, it should have been essential as well as the band’s live activity. At the time of the 1960s the number of hours radio stations were able to turn on record sound sources during the broadcasting time of the day was severely limited by the union. That is the reason for the large amount of live performance at BBC. The reason why enthusiastic fans and collectors find special value for BBC live sound sources will be the uniqueness of the performance songs. In 1963 when the band appeared on the BBC radio the most often, cover songs not recorded were played on BBC programs and on air. These songs were the repertoire the band liked playing in Hamburg’s Star Club and Liverpool’s Caburn Club before debut.
Basically, the sound source of these valuable programs is on-air only once at the time of the main broadcast at that time, BBC called “THE BEATLES AT THE BEEB” in March of 1982 commemorating the 20th anniversary of the band’s first appearance of the BBC radio I could hardly look at the special number of on air. Unfortunately, at the time BBC at the time the on-air master tapes were erased and used by other programs for the convenience of the budget, so later BBC themselves noticed the importance of the sound source and the archives inside the office When I searched for, the storage situation of most of the programs was very bad and there was no material left to despair. In the BBC special number “THE BEATLES AT THE BEEB”, it was re-edited as “TOP OF THE POPS” for overseas, and the programs such as the top gear and the Saturday · club of 1964 which were barely left as transcription discs , From From 1964 March ‘s From Ass To Two You were left cutting in LP, and the fifth and seventh times of Pop – Go – The Beatles in the summer of 1963 called’ Bush House Tape ‘ Besides the sound source, it was content composed by adding materials that were circulating as boot legs.
Before broadcasting this program, of course, live at BBC had various interesting titles released as bootleg from various off-air sound sources that fans air checked. Starting with “YELLOW MATTER CUSTARD” released from TMOQ in the United States in 1971, the Beatles’ BBC live tone generator became a good subject of the bootleg contractor. Even after the era of CD media, release of ambitious box set such as “THE COMPLETE BBC SESSIONS” (GREAT DANE) in 1993 and “THE BEATLES AT THE BEEB” in 2003 (YELLOW DOG) continues.
A genuine release based on a few good quality material left in the BBC station and a good master sound source at the time of casting newly discovered pop · go · the beatles was released in 1994 “LIVE AT THE BBC “. This album gained overwhelming support all over the world, sold 5 million copies in a mere six weeks from the sale and got a big hit. After 19 years, 2nd “ON AIR – LIVE AT THE BBC VOL. 2” will be released in 2013. Simultaneously with the release of this VOL.2, the remastered version of “LIVE AT THE BBC” was released, and although it was not a physical release at about the same time, “BOOTLEG RECORDINGS 1963” was also released on download only. This was not a work specialized for BBC sound source, but the majority of the recorded songs were BBC sound sources and also contained many upgraded versions. Also in the remaster version of “LIVE AT THE BBC” in 2013, in the 1994 version, exclusion of special editing that the songs were seamlessly connected by crossfading, edit so that one song completes neatly to the ending Has been revised. Also, some songs have been replaced with a better sound source.
On the other hand, there are many releases due to downloads by volunteers, reflecting the Internet era for these regular / non-regular CD releases. Personal production BBC based on YELLOW DOG boxes such as “THE COMPLETE BBC SESSIONS” (PURPLE CHICK) in 2004, “UNSURPASSED BROADCASTS” (HOBNAIL) in 2010, “THE BBC ARCHIVES” in 2015 (LORD REITH) You can say that the complete collection is surely raised in level as new versions are overlapped and is approaching more perfect content.
The first thing we must mention is about the LP series “THE BEATLES AT THE BEEB” which was released in total of 13 titles in the name of “BEEB TRANSCRIPTION RECORDS” in Europe from 1986 to 1988. In the name of “BEEB TRANSCRIPTION RECORDS” BBC regular name, the label side also tickle the mania heart which imitated the transcription disc design of BBC It was released about 13 feet from 1986 for three years since this series Has overturned the concept of Bootleg of the BBC sound source of the conventional Beatles with its contents and excellent sound quality. Most of the Beatles’ BBC tone generator boot legs from the Beatles are from household reel tape recorders with a narrow recording range recorded from AM radio represented by “YELLOW MATTER CUSTARD”, which was released in 1980 in the United States Some of the things boasting high sound quality such as “BROADCASTS” existed, but from the carrier in the Beatles’ BBC radio they were only a few materials. Even so, even though the sound quality was poor, those releases were very popular in the market at that time, even though the cover songs and other versions that were not yet released on record could be heard abundantly.
BBC first took a keen desire and rebroadcasted the material gathered in the warehouse in March 1982 and the special number “THE BEATLES AT THE BEEB” at the end of 1982 gained great popularity from the listeners and entered Andy Peebles’ MC The entire program was released as a box set ‘s bootleg LP, and it was the turnout that they could sell like flying. Suddenly “THE BEATLES AT THE BEEB – VOL. 1” was released in Europe in October 1986 when the release of the bootleg recorded from this special number had fallen, causing a sensation. Although it was not a time series, five programs from April 1963 to June appeared with very good sound quality from sound sources that I could not hear until then. The only one released in this board was two songs “Boys” and “I’ll Be On My Way” on the side of the program side, but because of its excellent sound quality, no one collector Thought that the BBC master tape was excavated.
BBC’s write program in the 1960s was simulcast broadcast both in normal AM broadcasting and in VHF / FM broadcasting using VHF waves. In the luxury receivers of those days it was possible to receive either of them, and in the early 1960’s there were still few audio and maniacs that purchased a good reel / recorder and a proper receiver and recorder There was only a small number of people who had online radio watching radio program collection of FM air checked misdemeanor. The European version “THE BEATLES AT THE BEEB” series was a groundbreaking release based on their tapered high quality air check sound source.
Sound sources were provided by British collectors to Dutch traders. This dealer of the Netherlands is the same person as a dealer who later declares Yellow Dog. The LP series of “THE BEATLES AT THE BEEB VOL. 1 – VOL. 13” was produced in Europe from VOL.1 to VOL.9. For trouble with the press factory VOL.10 to VOL.13 were produced in the United States. VOL.10 and 11 were created by contractors who had claimed the rock solid at the time, and VOL.12 and 13 were produced by the tiger beat owner. The trader who claimed the rock solid sold the European board series VOL.1 to VOL.6 into 2 sets of 3 sets and also released a copy board. At the beginning of the release of VOL.1 it was information that there was no sequel with only this one, but after that the series continued to be released abundantly and made mania crazy. VOL.2 and 3 were released at the same time after the single release of VOL.1. After a while VOL.4 was released separately, after that VOL.5 and 6 were released at the same time. After a while VOL.7 was released separately, after that VOL.8 and 9 were released simultaneously.
VOL.10 and 11 were released simultaneously after American production, after that VOL.12 and 13 were released at the same time and the series ended. Some collectors pointed out that the quality declined since becoming American production, but this is not due to the fact that the quality itself of the original sound source has changed and it was never because of the cutting quality in the United States and the quality of press was bad, and from Europe It is not like having the master tape provided to the US deliberately dropped quality.
It certainly seems that the sound source after April 1964 of this series seems to be narrowing the band of the sound clearly recorded when compared with the previous one like AM broadcasting and FM broadcasting. It was recorded at the time of recording by lowering the recording speed by half compared to the previous one so that the sound was recorded when you left dubbing only the necessary part for organizing during decades of tape storage It is thought that the cause is reduced. Certainly it is impossible to abandon the possibility that tapers / equipment of VOL. 9 and VOL.
Anyway, thanks to this series it is extremely innovative that the sound source of a number of programs that were thought not to be fulfilled permanently listening to the master after the one time original broadcast at that time was released It can be said that it was that. Considering that the excavation of the sound source by this series and the release of the regular board “LIVE AT THE BBC” in 1994 thanks to the master tapes of several programs being returned to the BBC, this “THE The achievements that BEATLES AT THE BEEB series played can be said to be infinitely large.
