Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a long-anticipated purchase. The main archivist of Beatles performances and interviews on the BBC has finally released a collection of true gems. Many covers and early radio moments from the Fab Four, highly recommended for any die hard Beatles fan!

Great early recordings from live performances on the BBC radio programs with personal interviews.

There are 63 tracks total. 23 are speech tracks of conversation and banter at the BBC studio. Most of the tracks are different takes of songs from their first 4 LP's. The rest are covers of early rock and roll classics by other American artists. Many of these were never recorded in a studio or released on a Beatles album. If you love The Beatles - you will love this!!!

I bought this album not really knowing what I was getting. It is old radio shows, I didn't recognize some titles and yes this is probably the only place you will hear some of these titles unless you possess some boot leg albums, I didn't find most of the tracks that entertaining, the originally recorded single and album tracks do sound better. The other point of interest in this release is the personal interviews conducted with each of the Beatles and there are some nice photos included as well, although they were not the best poses.

A followup to 1994's Volume one, this two-disc set gives you 27 tracks of songs and banter. Many of these song versions have never been officially released before. Also included are bonus interview tracks with each of the four band members! A booklet filled with information on each song's recording is included.

There is just so many songs on this I don't know where to begin and this is only volume 2. Between both volumes you have every single song from the BBC Sessions. This almost is a must for Beatles completist or hardcore fans. The recordings are old but I do recommend.

One should never get tired of the Fabs and this is a document of the genesis of what changed the world of music for the next half century. Picture extras from Best Buy make this a an even better package. . Back in 1964 the Beatles took a dormant artform, the work of Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, and Little Richard, and transformed the world. An historical document of note.

Like the first "Live at the BBC" these recording show the group early on. Some of the material was never recorded in the studio and for the most part for a good reason. But even these are a pleasure to listen to as they show the Beatles as they were developing into a terrific live band, that is before the screaming began.

The sound is generally good (a few tracks are noticeably inferior, but that doesn't ruin it by any means). The discs are in a nice fold-out cover with several pictures. The interviews with the band members are probably the highlights for me, but hearing live versions of these songs is great, too.

I chose Best Buy to purchase this CD as they were offering additional pics with the purchase and given I was purchasing this for a fellow Beatles fan I knew this would be perfect.

This is a just another great collection of Beatles songs done for the BBC, some of which they never put on any of their albums.

The Beatles at their early point in their career . Simply enjoyable to hear the classic tracks and mop tops at their beginning.

I enjoyed hearing them talk in the interviews. It took me back to my young days. The music is live and I love to sing along.

The Beatles are always great, especially when live and having it digitally remastered just adds to its greatness.

this is great collection of early Beatles complete with interviews a very good addition to any Beatles Collection

Listening to the early Beatles reminds me of why we fell in love with them and why their music has endured.

This was a great addition to my music collection. Don't forget to get the other bbc cd set.
