June, 1961
Nobody's Child
Ain't She Sweet
Take Out Some Insurance on Me, Baby
(backing)
(1964 vocal)
Ain't She Sweet had drums overdubbed for its first US release. For some
reason Anthology 1 uses that mix. Here it appears not only in stereo,
but _without_ the additional drumming.
Tracks 10-24 are allegedly from the Decca audition of January 1, 1962.
(I say "allegedly" since there's no definitive evidence that these
particular tracks were recorded there on that day. But given their
quality and the fact that they recorded _some_ songs that day, it's
probably them.) These weren't bootlegged until 1977, and the source of
that tape is unknown, but is presumably the same source used for the
tracks used on Anthology 1.
Tracks 26 and 27 are the only existing tracks from the June 6, 1962
audition at Abbey Road. Both were intially sourced from "private reels"
(Love Me Do is likely one George Martin found in 1994) long after the
master tapes were erased.
The backing to tracks 28 and 29 was recorded by the Beatles on May 24,
1962 in another direct-to-stereo mix (with some brief fake stereo near
the end). Vocals were added as overdubs by Tony Sheridan on June 7, and
with new Beatles-referencing lyrics on January 3, 1964. Track 25 is a
modern processed version removing the vocals, leaving only the Beatles'
performance.
Track 30 is a little bit of a bonus track :-)
I believe that Pete Best plays drums on all of these tracks. Hopefully
someone will correct me if I'm wrong...
