Another Beatle BBC Bonanza-- Part 2


The BBC demanded its artists perform live and not to just essentially lip-sync to albums which is what really makes this such an interesting compilation. The Beatles appeared so often that they had to seriously expand their repertoire so as not to continually be repeating themselves, even though I'm sure their fans wouldn't have cared.

They even had their own series of shows in the summer of 1963 called Pop Goes the Beatles where they performed six songs in fifteen programs.

The new CD collection also contains studio chatter and some interviews.

Sadly, there will probably not be a Volume 3 as it would be too repetitive.

Tuesday, a remastered and retooled version of the first volume was released. Last month, the book "The Beatles: The BBC Archives 1962-1970" by Kevin Howlett was released.

These Are Great Times for Beatle Fans, Including Probably Fan #1, WXRT's Terri Hemmert.
