This 2CD set contains the first 'Sessions' compilation from 1984, originally called 1,2,3,4!, as well as a newly remastered version of The Boardroom Tape and The Cavern Rehearsals.
The 1,2,3,4! Tape has been previewed on several of the Helter Skelter Back To Basics sets, but is presented here for the very first time in complete form - including some interesting edits between tracks. This is EMI's first attempt at a compilation of unreleased tracks, and things didn't really change too much when they butchered all of those tracks making Anthology 10 years later! This collection of rare tracks is presented remastered from tape source, phase, pitch, level and drop out repaired - in all of it's crazy EMI inspired glory.
The Boardroom Tape as you know contains some very rare tracks, and is presented for the first time in phase and in proper mono - sounding better than ever before. Also, many of the technical faults have been addressed, making this offline tape more listenable than previous incarnations. Again, this was done from the original tape source.
As for the Cavern Rehearsals, these have been remastered from the best available source (which was originally the Purple Chick source until I discovered that it was from compressed 320 mp3 source - I then traced this back to the original source discs) drop-out, pitch, phase and level repaired. I have also done the best job possible to repair ISHST from the basement tape which was pretty rough, I hope this is now a little more palatable.
29 fine tracks in total on 2CDs...
A melhor série já lançada de SESSIONS dos Beatles, começando com a From The Basement to the Boardroom com upgrades, músicas completas pela primeira vez e inéditas! Toda essa série vem com booklets lindos explicando as sessões uma a uma e memorabilia dos Beatles!
Por exemplo, acabou sendo descoberto que o disco do Cavern havia sido tirado de MP3s de 320 KBPS, aqui, eles são arquivos sem compressão, originais do tape.
Here is the long-awaited collaboration between Darthdisc and Helter Skelter Records... From The Basement To The Boardroom.
PLEASE PLEASE ME SESSIONS!
All available studio sessions and rare mixes from the Please Please Me album - pitch, phase, level and error corrected.
Pela primeira vez as raríssimas versões sem cortes de Besame Mucho.
Including the very rare '1,2,3,4!' Mix of 'Besame Mucho' - this was mixed for the unreleased 'Sessions' album in 1985, before being butchered at EMI for the final release. This version has the proper ending. With thanks to Darth and The Darthettes for this special addition to the set!
With special thanks also to Moptop, Mojofilter and John Winn (for writing some very nice books!)

BEATLES FOR SALE SESSIONS
Alguns mixes aqui NUNCA FORAM LANÇADOS, são exclusivos dessa série!
Here is the fourth album in the Back To Basics series, including some never before compiled rare mixes and studio outtakes!
BARRETT SOURCE NOTE
There are so many sources for the John Barrett Tapes, and the are much or a muchness as they say. But I have found that some have been processed more than others using hard limiting - this affecting the overall dynamics out the record, so I have chosen the more natural sources.
For many of the Barrett Tracks I have favoured the Roaring Mouse discs as the are un-compressed and a truer representation of the original recordings. The Strawberry Records Mythology disc has some added noise reduction (on some, no all tracks), and compression, meaning that the track are processed beyond their original state.

HELP! SESSIONS!
RUBBER SOUL SESSIONS
Here is the latest in the Back To Basics series - the glorious 'Rubber Soul.'
I have included a bonus disc with this set containing 9 instrumentals made from the Rockband .mogg files with vocals removed. This is for users out there who do not have the .mogg files and would like to hear these tracks in this form.
It is such a treat to be able to offer such great extras with this album.
'We Can Work It Out' (Take 1) is offered in stereo-mono as this track goes one-legged after the studio chat. There is literally nothing on the right channel. So we have made this section mono for a better listening experience.
Highlights for me include '12-Bar Original' (Take 2) which for the first time is offered without the discrete digital clicks. These have plagued every-single release of this in the past. We spent 5 hours removing each click one-by-one to keep the integrity of the recording, and to offer the best quality end-product. We are really happy with how this recording came out after such a laborious process, and we hope you too enjoy this.
Also, we have done some pretty interesting work on the 'Lennon Tape' tracks, including 'In My Life' (Take 3) With Organ Solo. As you will know, on the recent 'Unforgettable' disc these tracks were ruined by garbled tape loops, but yet offered the best quality above the 'Entomology' source. These recordings we did an exact pitch match between 'Entomology' and 'Unforgettable' sources, we then combined the top end from the best source with the lower frequencies from the lesser source to offer what should be a garble free recording. For each of these we have also added the unedited 'Entomology' source for comparison (and because it is so damn rare!) These will be marked V2 for each recording.
This is the first time that the 'Entomology' sources have been included anywhere (with thanks to Mr Anon ) so we hope that you enjoy them!
We have omitted the 'Sessions Mix' of 'I'm Looking Through You' as it is essentially the same as that released on Anthology 2 (which is here). Everything else should be on this set.

+ BONUS INSTRUMENTALS DISC!
I have included a bonus disc with this set containing 9 instrumentals made from the Rockband .mogg files with vocals removed. This is for users out there who do not have the .mogg files and would like to hear these tracks in this form.
It is such a treat to be able to offer such great extras with this album.
'We Can Work It Out' (Take 1) is offered in stereo-mono as this track goes one-legged after the studio chat. There is literally nothing on the right channel. So we have made this section mono for a better listening experience.
Highlights for me include '12-Bar Original' (Take 2) which for the first time is offered without the discrete digital clicks. These have plagued every-single release of this in the past. We spent 5 hours removing each click one-by-one to keep the integrity of the recording, and to offer the best quality end-product. We are really happy with how this recording came out after such a laborious process, and we hope you too enjoy this.
Also, we have done some pretty interesting work on the 'Lennon Tape' tracks, including 'In My Life' (Take 3) With Organ Solo. As you will know, on the recent 'Unforgettable' disc these tracks were ruined by garbled tape loops, but yet offered the best quality above the 'Entomology' source. These recordings we did an exact pitch match between 'Entomology' and 'Unforgettable' sources, we then combined the top end from the best source with the lower frequencies from the lesser source to offer what should be a garble free recording. For each of these we have also added the unedited 'Entomology' source for comparison (and because it is so damn rare!) These will be marked V2 for each recording.
This is the first time that the 'Entomology' sources have been included anywhere (with thanks to Mr Anon ) so we hope that you enjoy them!
We have omitted the 'Sessions Mix' of 'I'm Looking Through You' as it is essentially the same as that released on Anthology 2 (which is here). Everything else should be on this set.
