The Beatles - The Complete BBC Sessions (Purple Chick) (10 Discs plus Bonus Disc)



January is always the slowest month for me, in terms of putting up new posts on this blog. Coming down off the highs of the run-up to Christmas and New Years, and facing all of the holiday bills I now have to pay . . . plus football season is winding up (with my team, as per usual, not making the playoffs) . . . and the weather REALLY starts to suck, so now I get to face weeks of driving to work over icy roads on bald tires.  Let's just say that my mood during January isn't the greatest.  I'm just trying to drag myself through the month, with a thick, hazy cloud of ennui hanging over my head like a real-life Schleprock ("Wowzy wowzy woo woo", indeed). And that slackadaisical attitude can't help but extend itself into my writing; I just lose the motivation to put pen to paper (or more accurately, "fingers to keyboard") for a couple of weeks.

But gradually, as February and the prospect of warmer weather in the near future approaches, I usually shake out of this funk, and start getting back to some serious posting. So just bear with me, folks, please - I'll be fully back at it soon enough.

In the meantime, I hope this one tides you all over: The Complete BBC Sessions, put out by the good people at Purple Chick back in 2004. This is the updated and expanded ten-disc set they put out in late 2004 (they originally released a three-disc set earlier that year), containing (by my count) all fifty-one Beatles shows aired on BBC Radio between 1962 and 1965.  And if THAT'S not enough, there's a little something extra I've included with this post - the elusive 11th disc in this set, containing interviews the band and band members conducted on a variety of shows between 1963 and 1970, along with songs from guest bands that were included as part of their many BBC shows (very few of their BBC shows were 100% Beatles material - music from groups the Fabs liked were usually included to fill out the programs).

I've been getting quite a bit of demand for this set over the past week, so I figured I'd post it, and let the masses have a crack at it as well! I've converted all of the albums over from FLAC to .mp3 - sound quality is still good, and the files are much smaller and iTunes-friendlier.  And all the song names and interviews denote the shows they originated from - it took me a while to find and append that information on each file, especially on the bonus disc - but it was worth it.

So, for your (extensive) listening pleasure, I proudly present you with The Beatles' Complete BBC Sessions, nearly 20 solid hours of nonstop listening spread over eleven discs, courtesy of Purple Chick. Enjoy this humongous stopgap done to rectify my recent lack of posts . . . and as always, please let me know what you think.

Please use the email link below to contact me, and I will reply with the download links ASAP:

[Postscript (26 May 13) - getting a HUGE amount of interest in this posting over the past week, due to the recent article in the Atlantic Monthly regarding the Beatles' BBC recordings - thank you, magazine writer Colin Fleming!  Here's a link to the article, if you're interested.]

  25. This is nothing sort of extraordinary. The 1994 album whetted my appetite, but I always figured it was the tip of the iceberg. Want to know why The Beatles were so powerful right out of the box? Want to know how a bunch of teenagers who played in basements and sleaze clubs acquired the savvy to create Revolver only a few years after these sessions were recorded? The answer is in these BBC sessions! Best of all, you can clearly hear the actual parts played by Paul and especially Ringo. Bass and the full drum kit tended to be mixed out by EMI at this point in the band's career. Anyone who wonders why the Beatles hired Ringo will now hear why.

  67. Was directed here by an article on the New York times site about the coming release of the BBC stuff, or at least more than they did in 1994. Then I came here and saw I could listen to nearly ALL of it. Oh boy. Now to find the time! Driving I guess! Thanks so much for all of the Beatles stuff on the blog. Now you are probably too busy answering emails to write a new blog entry eh? Let me suggest a New York Dolls entry? :)

    1. It's been a combination of a busy schedule AND a weird case if writer's block that's kept me from posting anything new for the past 2 1/2 months… it's driving me nuts, and filling me with guilt every time I look at this blog (ha ha!). Seriously, though, I have no less than a dozen stories/postings in various stages of completion; hopefully I'll be caught up (or at least reduce the backlog) before the month is out. So don't give up on this blog yet!

  68. Great to have the Purple Chick upgrade to add to my Great Dane CD set and the Beeb vinyl set. I got started with Broadcasts and Beautiful Dreamer in the early 80s and never tire of listening to these performances. Soldier of Love is early Beatles at their best, especially Lennon vocal on fade out. Thank you!!

  163. Thanks so much for the easy download and for making these tracks widely available for Beatles fans. The sound quality is amazing (for what it is), the album artwork scans are a much-appreciated bonus, and there are some fantastic musical gems here (and many more to come - I've only listened to the first disc so far!) Thanks so much!

  164. The sheer amount of tracks included in this collection is crazy. It's amazing that so many of their BBC performances (virtually all of them over 50 years old at this point!) were captured and preserved. Thank you for sharing this with us!
