So, here we go, Forumpudlians, the first part of the 2020 non-Canon Poll.
This part of the poll covers 215 legally released recordings (though some barely) made between 12 July 1958 and 18 December 1963.
The official releases can be found on Anthology 1 , the two volumes of BBC recordings (along with the Baby It’s You single), the 1963 Christmas fan club flexi, and Bootleg Recordings 1963.
The unofficial recordings are made up of the Polydor sessions backing Tony Sheridan, the remaining tracks from the Decca audition not included on Anthology 1 , and the Star Club recordings. I haven’t specified any particular releases for these as they have all been released multiple times in many varied ways.
Ignored by this poll are the multiple “grey market” releases that have followed their unreleased material slipping into public domain as copyright has run out in certain territories around the world (such as Europe and Japan). You have to draw the line somewhere.
With recordings made for broadcast, those labelled “performance” rather than “session” are made in front of a audience.
The voting list is alphabetical (‘A’ and ‘The’ at the beginning of a title is ignored; eg. ‘A Taste Of Honey ‘ appears under T). The number in brackets after each title indicates where it falls chronologically.
The following actually contains 216 items. The versions of ‘She Loves You ‘ that appear on Bootleg Recordings 1963 credited to the 10 September and 24 September episodes of Pop Go The Beatles are the same recording, so the 24 September repeat isn’t included in the voting but is included in the master list for the sake of completeness.
The list contains the recording details for each title, so will need referencing…

Voting is now open, and will remain open until 00:00 GMT on 16 April.
The voting form can be found here.
I realise the list is long, and unfortunately the form can’t be saved as you go along, so I would suggest you note your scores as you go through and then transfer them across to the voting form when complete. I’m happy to PM anyone a copy of the title list should that be of use to note your scores before you transfer them to the voting form.
Any questions about any of the material included, feel free to ask. Someone here is sure to know (or maybe point to somewhere that could help via PM).
[Could a mod please pin this post and the thread?]

Being worked on right now. Putting together the voting form. I expect to launch during the weekend. 215 legally released recordings running from the 1958 Percy Phillips Quarrymen demo to the December 1963 BBC Radio Christmas edition of From Us to You.
Something for us to do while normal life is off the agenda for most of us.

Thanks Ron There is a lot more non-Canon availability on YouTube right now than last time, so hopefully forum participation will be greater. Wasn’t there a Beatles Bible YouTube channel at one time? Since the Beatle copyright policing is so lax right now, couldn’t any unavailable tunes be uploaded there?

Okay, voting form is done and I’m just checking through it to see nothing’s been missed, and working on the launch post. Twelve to twenty-four hours before the start gun is fired.
I’m interested in how long you want the voting period to be. While usually we go for four to six weeks for voting because people have busy lives but lives for many don’t seem so busy right now. I propose three weeks for voting if that’s agreeable to most.
Also, looking forward, how quickly should we get into the second part of the poll? It could start the day after this part closes, with the voting for it going on while these results are being revealed; or we could do the results reveal and then move on to part two.
Thoughts?

I’d say keep it rolling as folk are at home and it gives them something to do instead of waiting until after the results.
Is the voting form savable as going thru 215 songs could be time-consuming and if lost would be a pain going back to the beginning?

I recommend making an excel doc with the songs, put a number next to it then transfer your vote when you’re done. That’s what I’ve done in the past and provided they’re in the same order, it works a treat.
3 weeks is cool for me.
Agree with mmm on releasing part 2 as soon as part 1 closes

Looking forwards to getting stuck into this.Is there anywhere legit and obvious I can listen to the ones that aren’t on amazon music. Likes of Star Club, Decca etc?
Apologies if that’s already stated somewhere and I’ve missed it
The YouTube channel (not the vevo one but the topic one) has a list of albums – check that out and see if it can fill in your gaps. If not, let us know
