Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The surviving members of the Fab Four spent much of the 1990s belatedly reuniting to document, promote, and occasionally awkwardly burnish their unparalleled pop music legacy. This double-disc anthology of live-in-the-studio performances originally recorded specifically for the BBC during the most frantic years of early Beatlemania was the first chapter in that effort and the first issuance of previously unreleased Beatles recordings since the late '70s. In many ways, it remains the most artistically revealing. Capturing them at their early '60s live-performance peak, these recordings pay homage to both the band's eclectic musical influences (including Chuck Berry, Phil Spector, Little Richard, Carl Perkins, Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, Larry Williams, the Coasters, and the Shirelles), and to the enthusiastic and generous sense of musical discovery and the pop proselytizing that accompanied them. A number of the Fabs' own '62-'65 singles and album tracks are also featured, but they mostly take a back seat to the generous collection of previously unreleased cover songs included here. The band's brisk, often irreverent sense of humor also comes to fore in the intros, interviews, and between-song banter. An indispensable part of any true Beatlemaniac's collection and a superb introduction to the roots of a musical legend. --Jerry McCulley Average Rating:
 Rating:  - If You Like The Beatles If you love The Beatles this is a must have for your Beatles collection. The quality of the recording is very good. I recommend purchasing the CD set! Rating: - BBC recordings 1962-1965This is a collection of Beatles songs on BBC radio between 1962-1965. It includes self composed songs and classic numbers performed by the Beatles. These are LIVE radio tracks, only one or two songs are live in concert. There are funny speeches and jokes as well. This CD was out of print for sometime but has been back in print since I bought it in June 2001. This is a must for any Beatles fan. Rating: - Live at the BBC rocks!The two Live at the BBC CDs contain live radio broadcasts of The Beatles from March 1962-June 1965. They answer a question a lot of us were asking then: "Where did these guys suddenly come from?!?" The answer we had before this release were a glossy public relations product. "They are John-Paul-George-Ringo... They are Lennon-McCartney...They are true originals!!" So we were told. The real truth revealed in these live recordings of the early Beatles is that, musically, the Beatles came from the USA ...

Shows the versatility of the Beatles and their music. Rating:  - Had misgivings but this is entertaining...As a Beatles fan of many years, I wondered about this collection and had lots of questions. Sound quality? Turns out it isn't too bad, overall, and is better than I thought it would be. Would it be songs and lots of chatter, or less chatter? Turns out that the CD is 99% songs, with really very little chatter. This CD shows how the Beatles, in their early years anyway, were real chameleons. They covered any song that struck their fancy, be it country, rock and roll, or whatever. They were just ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
