The Beatles Get Back Journals Rare Music Collection in Chicago, IL

Many "die-hard" Beatles fans are not actually familiar with the Get Back Journals, so I thought I would add a little to story to the description:The box covers the Beatles during the month of January 1969, when they were rehearsing and recording what was supposed to be the album Get Back, which was eventually re-produced by Phil Spector and released in April of 1970 as Let It Be. The sessions were filmed for a TV special. Long story short, the Beatles contractually owed United Artists a third movie (they had already done A Hard Day's Night, Help!, and Yellow Submarine, but UA decided that Yellow Submarine didn't count because the actual Beatles were only in it for a few minutes), so the film was cropped from TV ratio of 4:3 to movie ratio of 1:33:1, and became the movie Let It Be.Most of the material in The Get Back Journals was actually taken from the film's accopanying sync tape. As such, you should be aware that a lot of the songs will have a beep or two right in the middle; the beep is the sound of the camera sync signals or something like that. Also, a few of the songs might have a technical director's voice in the beginning. And because it was being filmed, the first two weeks of sessions were actually done in Twickenham Film Studios, on regular 9-to-5 workdays, which the Beatles were NOT used to, and that contributed to a lot of bad feelings at the time, and in fact even caused George Harrison to quit the band. He was eventually convinced to come back, on the condition that the sessions move back to a recording studio and that they could work on their own schedule rather than the film crew's schedule, and things started to get better from there.A lot of the songs come from informal jam sessions; the Beatles tended to do that a lot during January 1969, so some of them might be kind of sloppy performances, but interesting nonetheless. A few of the tracks are completely improvised.Also, the purpose of the Get Back album was for the Beatles to "get back" to doing things the way they did in the old days -- just the four of them, no session musicians, no overdubs, just raw rock'n'roll. A guy named Glyn Johns was given the assignment of taking the most usable recordings from the sessions and make an album out of them. Disc 11 is the resulting album, which ended up not being released for various reasons. Disc 11 is taken from actual recording session tapes, not film reels, so they won't have beeping and director voices.Anyway, I hope the lucky buyer enjoys it! It really is an unusual item these days.Notes:. Disc/Vinyl 2 is actually missing so there will actually be 2 copies of Disc/Vinyl 1. Significant scratching on records as well as what appears to be stains but I think it may be coloring on the vinyl that faded.. It plays ok; you can hear the music pretty well but the audio is not as strong. Could be because these recordings are so raw and unedited. TEXT OR EMAIL ONLYRay[removed phone]
