WOW, This BOX comes with 10 fantastic Mini LPs full of UK singles in a total of 203 songs. Along with it, one superb mini double Poster that shows 72 covers and labels of the APPLE originals. Besides all Beatles work and solo singles from 1968 to 1996, we also have those APPLE related artists that the Beatles help out, like BADFINGER, MARY HOPKIN, ETC.. But let's be honest, have you ever heard the two Trash singles? Hot Chocolate & Give Peace a Chance or the Sundown Playboys? Or even the FAB Golden Slumbers from a lost DEMO from White Trash, that was produced by George Harrison in 1969? Here you can find them all in audiophile quality for the VERY FIRST TIME! Disc Ten offers FAB stuff like bonus songs, acetates, rejected singles, etc.. this is a very, very rare collection. Essencial recordings before APPLE went belly up. Harrison, 45, 78 singles, Paul 45 singles, canceled singles, singles that were only mailed to John Lennon, 45 and 78 Badfinger singles, James Taylor APPLE singles before he ditched APPLE and all the artists The Beatles helped produced in excellent audiophile quality, one can only find in here! PLUS, A BONUS DVD WITH THE BIRTH OF THE BEATLES EUROPEAN EXTENDED VERSION (ALL REGION)
The real strength of this collection, though, is context. It is one thing to read about Apple, the relationships among the Beatles and the artists in their orbit before and after the breakup, and how Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr sparked each other artistically (or not) as solo artists.
But it is fascinating to actually hear the work in chronological order, as it was recorded and released.
Several obscure singles and B-sides are included that have never been officially released on CD, taken from the original vinyl pressings. There is also interesting miscellany like "King of Fuh" by Brute Force -- a record pressed by Apple but unable to find a distributor because of its (now rather tame) vulgarity. The quality throughout is excellent.
You have three choices : one is to get all individual APPLE releases, Two, get this amazing compilation or three, listen to Red Rose Spedway and pretend you have everything you need from the post APPLE era...

DISC ELEVEN - BIRTH OF THE BEATLES EUROPEAN EXTENDED VERSION
100 MIN. ALL REGION DVD
The film focuses on the early history of 1960s rock band The Beatles. It was released only nine years after the announced break-up
of The Beatles themselves, and is the only Beatles biopic (others include Backbeat, In His Life: The John Lennon Story, The Hours and Times,
John and Yoko: A Love Story, Lennon Naked and to a lesser extent The Linda McCartney Story) to be made while John Lennon was still alive. The film tries very hard to be accurate, opening with a written statement read out by a narrator stating the authenticity of the production, emphasising as it put it: "former Beatle, Pete Best" acting as technical advisor.
Another attempt at authenticity is that most of the cast look alarmingly similar to the real people they are supposed to be playing. The four actors portraying John, Paul, George and Ringo look uncannily similar to the real deal, but Pete Best and Stu Sutcliffe bear a lesser resemblance. The performances from the actors are also quite good, with Stephen MacKenna and Ray Ashcroft provided stunningly real-sounding vocal impersonations of John and Ringo.
In what has become an unofficial tradition of rock 'n' roll movies based on true stories, some of the real events/sequence of events have been abridged or omitted. This has a positive effect on the film, allowing it to cover a broad stretch of time and not making it feel rushed, while also adding to the drama when the real events may not have been as such. A prime example of this is when Stu Sutcliffe dies of a brain haemorrhage about half-way through the film. In the film, it takes place in the midst of the band's second trip to Hamburg, meaning the other have to deal with this loss and still fulfill their engagement. They still manage to give great performances and they must overcome the tragedy in order to make their journey to fame. In real life, this was not how things happened. In real life, Stu was still alive living in Hamburg with his German girlfriend Astrid when the other departed from the second trip, and it was when they returned on the third trip to Hamburg they discovered Stu had died the
night before they arrived. By adapting events, though, the film not only makes things more dramatic, but in fact speeds things up and
keeps the plot flowing smoothly by only portraying two trips to Hamburg.
