BBC Sessions 11-Disc Set

"The BBC Sessions: The Beatles regularly recorded live in studio for the BBC. In addition to performing their own material, they often did covers of other artists like Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Ray Charles. These sessions often were passed off as studio outtakes on many 1970s-era bootlegs. The popularity of Beatles BBC discs reached its apex with a celebrated nine-CD set by Great Dane Records, which aimed to supplant the varying configurations of BBC discs available on bootleg, while presenting the material in chronological order and in the best quality available at the time. The popularity of this release directly lead to the official, Beatles-sanctioned Live at the BBC 2 CD set. While the official disc did collect many of the otherwise-unreleased cover versions performed by the Beatles on the BBC, it did nothing to stem the tide of BBC bootlegs; in fact, collectors and archivists continue to discover new and improved sources for the BBC session material, much of which makes its way into internet bootleg. The current, "most-complete" version is an eleven-disc set available for free on the internet."

Does anybody know where I can find this 11-disc set of BBC session material? I'd really like a copy, but I don't know where to find it. --Ian911299

Old chitchat

TraxPlayer I don't think that Beatles is so much bootlegged. I would say that Dylan is the most bootlegged artist. Every concert he has played in the last many years has been taped illegal.

The Grateful Dead is more taped than Dylan as they allow bootlegs of their shows but the Beatles history from 60-70 is the best in rock and roll by the best group EVER

Well, the Beatles bootleg recordings article should be deleted all together, except they may be still more "bootleggers" who sell recordings that claim to be the Beatles.

See: votes for deletion.

what about the vancouver show? i see that on every bootleg trader's site.

Who the hell are the Hamburger Bunns????

I think I heard that the carnival of light thing is just a rumour. Carnival of Light is a hoax and should be removed.

No, there actually are fake "Carnival Of Light" Mp3's circulating. -SW

beatles/rolling stones fake bootleg?

I remember a while ago being shown a supposed bootleg of the beatles and the rolling stones. It was quite fake and probably belongs in the section "A number of songs have been fraudulently passed off by bootleggers as unreleased Beatles songs..." if anyone knows any more about it than me --Hugzz 15:44, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably thinking of the Masked Marauders, which wasn't a bootleg... it was just a parody. -SW

God Save The Queen on Rooftop Concert

This article, possibly incorrectly, has stated that God Save The Queen at the rooftop concert at the end of January, 1969 has not surfaced on bootleg albums. I have one bootleg album which contains it and be found on bootlegzone here:

Just thought I'd check in with everybody else first before editing.
