Newly remastered for reissue, The Beatles' first Live at the BBC album
sounds and looks better than ever. This collection of the group's BBC
sessions mixed versions of their hits with a treasure trove of 30 songs
The Beatles performed on air but never released on record in the 1960s.
The compelling track list ranged from a rare performance of the little
known Lennon-McCartney original 'I'll Be On My Way' to covers of classic
rock 'n' roll and contemporary rhythm and blues songs. At the time of
its release, Live at the BBC was hailed by Rolling Stone as 'an
exhilarating portrait of a band in the process of shaping its own voice
and vision.'. It earned a GRAMMY Award nomination for Best Historical
Album.
Live at the BBC was assembled by George Martin in 1994.
