Notes From Inner Cover:
With the "Mthology" series finally in collectors hands, it arrived as
a bit of a dissapointment (see ICE APRIL, 2000). The sets don't live up to
expectations, or Strawberry's reputation. Most of the John Barrett material
is of inferior quality. With a total of 11 discs for the three volumes, it
seems like they were trying to stretch the material as far as possible, with
live performances that are available elsewhere (or unlistenable), and interviews
(though interesting) that don't justify the size of the project.
Having said this, there is a fair amount of material that is worthwhile in the
collections, being either previously unreleased or significantly upgraded.
This collection delivers the choice material redily (and affordably) into the
ever eager listeners ears. We have added a few goodies to top it off.
Disc one contains broadcast material. All material is previously unreleased
or in upgraded quality. Of particular note are the newly
disscovered BBC broadcast tape from 7/30/63 and the 1967 "Where It's At"
broadcast of the "Sgt.Pepper" album. "Sunday Night At The Palladium"
and
"Royal Command Preformance" are the true launch of Beatlemania, presented here
in their entireties.
Disc two contains studio material. The edit takes of "I Saw Her Standing There"
are previously unreleased. The sessions for "One After 909", "Hold Me
Tight",
and "Don't Bother Me" are from a newly disscovered tape source in best-to-date
quality. The "White Album" tracks have been previously available from acetate,
but these are from a tape source, "Octopus's Garden" is an unusual version
containing only Ringo's vocals.
The "Mythology" bubble may be broken, but still "a splendid time is
guaranteed
for all". |
