The releases is the undertaking of a single collector, who has done improvements to the material in the following fashion:
- new and better versions of quite a number of songs were broadcast by the BBC last year and has been included,
- some vinyl-only bootlegs have been found to contain material in better quality than previous CD releases,
- audio equipment for the home computer has improved and has been put to good use in 'cleaning up' the sound quality.

Additional details from the author: Volume 1 Recording Details-
These earliest recordings have never been the best, and most seemed to have been recorded from the AM service rather
than FM like a lot of the later ones... and usually with a mic-in-front-of-speaker recording technique.
However, I've squeezed the last scrap of fidelity out of these through some EQ, level fixes and a little bit of
noise reduction. The first two shows had a high pitched whistle which I've gotten rid of. Traditionally, 'Dream Baby' is
the first track broadcast and was listed that way by Howlett and Lewisohn, and also appeared that way when the show was first
bootlegged on vinyl. A remark by producer Peter Pilbeam that they performed Hello Little Girl and Memphis, and THEN Dream
Baby doesn't make much sense to me, since the announcer clearly says 'This time, John Lennon takes the vocal lead' before
Memphis Tennessee, implying that someone else had sang lead previously. They may well have performed the songs in
a different order during rehearsal, but in my mind at least there is no doubt that Dream Baby was the first track broadcast.
'A Taste Of Honey' is certainly from their October 29th 'People And Places' tv appearance since, as Paul points out in the Monty Lister
interview, that show had no audience whereas 'Here We Go' did (note the distinct absence of applause at the end of the
track). You'll notice that the song here is in a higher register than previously. The Beatles actually performed this
song in two different keys: G minor and F sharp minor. Since they play it in the higher key on the Star Club tapes,
and it sounds much more like Paul when sped up, I have put it in the higher key. I decided to insert it into the interview because
it fits nicely in context there. Obviously it wasn't broadcast that way.
Speaking of Monty Lister, I've included this here for its obvious historical interest, even though it wasn't a BBC
radio broadcast. Since this cd has been allowed to underrun in case more early material turns up, I thought I may as well
fill up the void with something! People And Places wasn't a BBC show either, but since it is often credited as being from
Here we Go I thought it best to include it. Love Me Do also seemed an obvious inclusion since Lister introduces it.
With the March 'Here We Go' appearance, we finally come to the high quality off-air recordings. However this still required a lot of
work, being riddled with head clogs and dropout.
The 'live' Saturday Club from March 63 is a problematic one. Orinally we were treated to a horrible recording on vinyl in the 80s, and
then a much clearer version on the Great Dane set which was periodically interrupted by loud buzzing noises. Ten years later Yellow
Dog went through and plugged the buzzes with bits from yet another tape, but the edits were pretty obvious so I've tried to smooth them
out a bit. Yellow Dog mistakenly replaced 'Too Much Monkey Business' with the version from Pop Go The beatles 2 (which then got copied over to the Purple Chick set) so I've restored the correct version from vinyl. 'I'm Talking About You' derives from a cd called 'Deflating
The Mythology' and is probably the best quality track (where are the rest???)
