The Unreleased BEATLES
The excellent Backbeat books have announced that in November 2006 they will be publishing “The Unreleased Beatles,” a new book by Richie Unterberger .
According to the Back Beat announcment The Unreleased Beatles details the incredible wealth of music the Beatles recorded but did not release, as well as film footage of the group that hasn’t been made commercially available. A staggering amount of material is examined, from unreleased studio outtakes, BBC radio recordings from 1962-1965, live concert performances, home demo recordings, fan club Christmas recordings, and other informal demos done outside of EMI studios. The book includes chronological entries for all of the Beatles’ unreleased recordings of note from 1957-1970, as well as all of the unreleased video footage of note from 1961-1970 and outtakes from 1990s interviews filmed for Anthology. There’s also a general overview of Beatles bootlegs, Beatles songs recorded by other artists in the 1960s, and never-recorded material. The 500 page book feaures over 100 illustrations and will retail for $34.95.
We hope to have a full review here on Blog Me Do closer to the book’s release.
