                          records), includes flyer from Apple listing
the complete Apple catalogue of Beatles material
"The Beatles" . . . otherwise known as the "White Album". Numbered
"A1626904". Poster missing.

I've been reading rmb for some time now, and I keep seeing references 
to something called 'Unsurpassed Masters'.  After attempting to figure
out what is on it by osmosis, I've made this guess (from a comment about
Strawberry Fields):  it's possible that 'other' takes of Beatles' songs
are on this.  If so, I'd love to find it.  Can any one help me with
what's on this CD and where I might find it?

Subject: Get Back Albums on CD
Date: 05 Apr 92 21:47:34 GMT
Organization: Microsoft Corp.

	What irritates me most about the Get Back bootlegs that I've heard
(the Yellow Dog, the "Korean" with the rooftop bonus tracks, the "first
one" which came as part of a 3 CD set including Session and the Beeb CD,
and the "Get Back Journals" issue) is the "cymbally" sound which 
accompanies many of the tracks.  It's almost like the actual recording
mikes had loose diaphragms or something.  Has anyone else noticed this
irritating noise and does it exist on all Get Back boots?

BTW, I'd rank the boots in terms of quality in the following order:

1) Get Back Journals issue (on vinyl)
2) The "first issue" CD (included Get Back cover, liner notes by Mal
   Evans, proported to be a "demo", cost about $100.00 in 1987)
3) The Yellow Dog issue (dead dead dead but the bonus tracks are nice.  Is
   the "Session Jam" actually "Billy's Blues" as in Mark L's book?)
4) The "Korean" issue (HORRID!!! Had the stuffings compressed out of it!)

The most pristine versions of many of these tracks, although outside of
the Get Back album context (and in mono instead of stereo) has been on
the Yellow Dog "Celluloid Rock" CD.  It includes the "full" versions of
Teddy Boy, Dig It, The Walk, and the false start of "Two of Us".  The 
real highlight of this CD though is the pristine versions of some 
of the "Let It Be" oldies jams from the Apple Studios basement sessions
(such as the Kansas City, Miss Ann, Lawdy Miss Clawdy medley and 
You've Really Got a Hold on Me among others).  In addition, Celluloid
Rock contains a "non-cymbally" Long and Winding Road (same as from 
the "Get Back" album and a more acoustic version of Let It Be (NOT
the same as on "Get Back" which I first remember hearing on "Kum Back"
back in 1970.  I would try to find Celluloid Rock in addition to
"Get Back" and combine them for the best possible quality "Get Back"
tape. However, DON'T pay more than $30.00 for either of these or for
any bootleg CD.  Go to record swap meets and you're sure to run into
these CD's somewhere for 20-30 dollars.

O.K., I know this is old, but I wasn't around in July, and I beg to 
differ, so I thought I'd put in a word.

I had thought (and read this, too, in Mark Lewisohn's book) that the           edit occurred at precisely 1:00, right after "cos I'm" and just 
before "going to." Can anyone back me up on this? Have a listen; it
sure sounds like a definite break to me. Again, sorry if I'm stirring
up a tired story, but then I wouldn't be the first one guilty of that,
now, would I? :-)

The fact that they sang \dik\ instead of \dihh\ is not very strange, after
all. They stayed for months and months in Hamburg, and the German spoken

Huw Roberts noted that George's concert is in support of the Natural

news TV last night about this party, and a few devotees were practicing
what they called "yoga flying", which basically looked like a bunch of people
with their legs crossed (yoga style), jumping around on their knees!
I wonder if George does this kind of thing??
Still, I guess people who spend their time jumping around on their knees

'Cuz, basically, everything that would be on Volume 1 was recorded
while the band was still signed to Apple...  Only recently had the

I am going to have to say that I enjoy Paul more than John.  I think that Paul
was a far better musician (no flames) technically.  I like the way he weaves tw
o or more songs together.  Sure he has put out a lot of pop crap, but who hasn'
t.  His lyrics might be a little corny for most,but that isn't what attacts me
to a song at first.  Remember we all love Why Don't We Do It...and that isn't v
ery lyrically diverse.  I also like the diversity of Paul's music.
As far as Paul being less of a rocker than John, I believe that Paul has put ou
t more 'rocker' type songs than John even before 1980.

I think John himself is on record with this opinion :-). There's really no
questioning it; I also think, however, that John didn't place that high
a value on technical skill.

 ^^^^^^
Let's see...who hasn't? Well, Lennon could be a decent example, but I'll
skip that 'cause it's too obvious. So let's see. Zeppelin, XTC, Robyn
Hitchcock, Elvis Costello, Dylan (sometimes crap but never pop ;-), and
countless others have never put out "pop crap," much less "a lot" of it.
Whatever their weaknesses or flaws may be, that is not one of them.

This last comment I really agree with, and I used to really find it puzzling.
At one time in High School, which for me was 1979-1983, I tried to make a
tape of just the more or less hard-rocking Beatle and post-Beatle songs by
John and/or Paul, and far more fell on the Paul side, especially post-
Beatle stuff.  (Of course in this regard, Paul had a 5-year advantage :-)

Anywho, jus' my useless opinion. Please, have some, there's plenty :-)

One of the best parts of "Twist and Shout" is after the final chord is played,
you can hear John go (in British) "Cor!" or (in American) "K'!" (or is that
"Ch'!"), which is a contraction of something like "God!"  John obviously felt
spent after that performance.
