Offline Let me get this right. At Amazon UK
On Air Volume 1 is £17.99 (why its £4.99 more than v2 when they are both 2 cd sets is a separate question) .
On Air Volume 2 is £13
So buy them together and its £30.99. Expensive but simple enough.
Oh and there is the boxset of both volumes together, exact same cd’s with no extras but comes in a cardboard sleeve.
How much?
That’s £7.41 for the fuckin’ cardboard box!! But its limited edition.
For f**k sake, do Apple just throw random numbers in the air and then laugh at how much the fans are ripped off. I swear they are taking the piss.

Yeah, it is a rip-off. I looked into it last night and found Sainsbury’s to be the cheapest (£30.99). http://www.sainsburysentertain…..=E11297832

Picked up mine about 30 minutes ago – I will listen to the first disc tonight and the 2nd on Sunday. It’s kind of odd, we are getting albums here really early these days – we used to be about a week behind – it makes a VERY nice change

Offline Gotta say they have done a VERY nice job on the booklet yet again – Kevin Howlett’s intro is great and some very nice photos.
SPOILER ALERT? Is it a spoiler to say what I thought of the disc? – anyway, just in case – you have been warned
[EDIT] I just listened to the first CD and enjoyed it a lot. Nice performances of Roll Over Beethoven and Twist And Shout . The two completely new tracks were so-so, but fine for historical interest. Of the two interviews on the first disc (John and George) I found the latter the most interesting. Most of the songs on this disc are off Pop Go The Beatles, the 2-3 that are not sound a bit out of place (sound and ambience are notably different).
I have a bit of a busy weekend lined up so disc 2 will get a spin on Sunday.
Very nice pic of John on page 11.

Offline I wonder how long it’ll be before the new tracks are up online? I would buy it and support the artist and that, but the book is arriving next week and I plan on paying my mom back for that. Plus I need to start saving up to buy Christmas pressies. I’m going to need to get another job if I want to be a completist Beatle-head.

I’d take this over a booook (or however they said it in the film) any day – it really does sound fresh and fun, though of course more of the same in a way after the first one.
I appreciate the financial issue, been a while since I had some work – Chrissie on the card this year, and worry about the repayments in the new year

I can’t say I agree with the conclusions though I agree the banter is often great fun. I also disagree with the ragged comment, some of the songs are, some of them are just powerful.

Its bloody difficult to complain about unreleased originals when none exist, even i have to let Apple off with that. And it was 1963 radio, the Beatles having their own show was bloody huge, it was never going to be insightful serious chat.
