There were early posts going about that Money wasn’t a true outtake. Haven’t been out and about yet to see if that’s been confirmed or disproved.
I haven’t heard it – yet.

I read that it was the final version without one of the overdubs – but as noted above I have difficulty telling these all apart anyway

Offline I baulked at the price-then remembered I had an iTunes gift card! Certainly softened he blow.
Glad I got it, even though I have most of the tracks already (allegedly, Your Honour).Seems they chose the most presentable tracks (by way of audio quality) for the BBC Vol 2 release, as the BBC tracks here are poorer quality-wise, but much, much better performance-wise. I know which I’d sooner have, the material here is full of energy with some fantastic performances.
Likewise, (ironically), the stand-out track for me is the alt version of Money. It may be they used the latter portion of this for With The Beatles ? , but this one is absolutely superb, definitely benefits from not having the piano. It’s the closest I think we’ll get to how they must have sounded at The Cavern/Hamburg. Sensational.
So, where’s the rest of the 1963 material? I know Abbey Road /EMI wiped the tapes upto around She Loves You , but if they are including demos, there surely must be more? *Checks wallet*

Nice one on the gift card. And as noted – that Money just blew me away – I was thinking the same about Hamburg – I would love to hear a cleaned up version of the tape from there.

Listening again it seems to be the same version as released on With The Beatles , minus the overdubs and mixing (eq/reverb etc). It’s also missing the 2 bar intro on piano and Ringo’s cross-stick snare beats. Bloomin’ marvellous though!

I got it as an early Christmas Present, and I will say, the studio outtakes sound absolutely amazing. Although, did there really have to be 12202031066516516 versions of A Taste Of Honey ? (Alright, it’s only 4, but it felt like it was coming on every other song.)

^If I were you I wouldn’t feel bad…it’s all bootleg stuff anyway that’s been available on the net for free for ages. If anything, it’s a bit presumptuous of Apple to charge so much for material that hardcore fans will already have and casual fans will probably not care about.

Offline Yeah, doubtless I already have all of these recordings anyway. I try to always pay for my music, and if this were a physical release I would have paid for it.
But not this. A bunch of files and a cover photo is not worth 40 dollars.

Hmm – how many more times do I have to listen to it? Not working so far
And I thought there were 5 1/2 versions, not just 4? – sigh!

For those put off by the high price, apparently (*cough*) it’s on the Pirate Bay.
Well, first of all, hello to everyone again, it has been a long time since I last logged in and this obscure release brought me back. Anyway, because it is indeed a high price, I went for that other option. I took a listen primarily to the studio outtakes, and yeah, they are an improvement over all the bootlegs I have heard; but the only one track that horrified me is One After 909 – Take 1. It seems that tape has suffered damage, because on the bootlegs is clean and crisp and here the sound is horribly distorted, with the sound dropping-out-like each beat. 
I hope that this isn’t the case for those who have it legitimately, can anyone who have this confirm what I said?

Offline Yeah, so probably I am the only one with that problem. But yeah, Take 2 has no sonic problems at all. Seems that I’ll have to wait a little more until someone has it corrected. Thanks for the quick response trcanberra

$40? It’s the equivalent of $57 over here in the UK.
For those who care, some of the recording dates are incorrect. Here’s a post outlining the errors.
