Beatles Cd - WBCN Reference Acetate

This is a CD version of a tape recording made on September 22nd 1969 (by persons unknown) of a US radio DJ playing a tape of some early Glyn John’s mixes of Let It Be/Get Back tracks which were issued to some US radio stations in mid to late 1969.

NOTE: There is NO SUCH THING as a "promo acetate" of the "Get Back" album, and it WAS NOT issued to any radio station anywhere. WE GOT TO STOP PERPETUATING THIS FALSEHOOD!!! This is a tape of Glyn Johns' reference acetate that made its way to the US, where it was played on some "underground" FM stations (the first being WKBW-FM in Buffalo, New York). A more complete version of this same tape of the radio broadcast on WBCN-FM is on "Posters, Incense And Strobe Candles". Most of it has been edited out on this CD.
