The Beatles: Bootleg

Five Nights In A Judo Arena is a 1989 Beatles bootleg CD released by The Swingin' Pig. It consists of a soundboard recording done at the Budokan Hall in Tokyo, Japan on 30 June, 1966 during the group's last tour. Highlights include performances of "Nowhere Man" and "If I Needed Someone". This is the full length Budokan show, as the original bootleg album released in 1975 was incomplete.

Sitting On A Cornflake is a Beatles bootleg CD full of "outfakes", mixes that were not made within the confines of The Beatles or at Abbey Road. The core of this is the Magical Mystery Tour album offered in two ways: first batch features the "left channel mixed to center", the second batch features the "right channel mixed to center". Consider them unofficial or alternate mixes of the familiar.

Revolverlution is a Beatles bootleg of what is often called "outfakes", or mixes of songs that were not created within the context of the group. They are created by fans/bootleggers for the sake of having something to release. Some are fun, some are not. This CD highlights most of the material the group recorded in 1966, focusing on their Revolver album but also including the "Paperback Writer" b/w "Rain" single. These are each called a "Stereo AlmostOOPS Mix"

This album is part of one of the biggest selling Beatles bootlegs ever released, and has a deep story all in itself, but here it is in brief. Apple Tracks Volume 1 was a double LP set released in 1981 by Great Live Concerts that came from the sessions that also released Sweet Apple Trax and Hahst Az Sön, which are the January 1969 Get Back/Let It Be sessions. This was one of the first Beatles bootlegs I bought many decades again and always enjoyed hearing these set of songs, beginning with "Old Hillbilly Way" ("Tennessee") to "Da De Da" ("Domino"). I now share this with you. This was assembled from the bootleg CD The Black Album.

True to its title, Apple Scraps 2: The "Get Back" Era is a 1998 Beatles bootleg CD consisting of sessions taken primarily during the making of what was to be the Get Back TV special, before it turned into the Let It Be album. This came out on the Melvin label.

Transcending Time is a 2010 Beatles bootleg CD released by The Godfatherecords. It consists of a the rooftop performance on top of Apple Records and a compilation of what was to be the Get Back album, created by producer Glyn Johns.

Originally released in 1999, this is the Remasters Workshop remastered edition of the 3CD Beatles set Vinyl To The Core. The source of these songs are from everything from BBC sessions to film footage, outtakes to radio broadcasts, TV performances to demos, interview footage to more. This version is easily the best way to hear some of these mixes.

The Alf Bicknell Tapes gathers various Beatles tapes that had been discussed over the years and in fact had been released before in a number of ways. Bicknell was The Beatles' personal limo driver between 1964-1966, so he was able to witness the stardom and adventures John, Paul, George, and Richie had at the height of worldwide Beatlemania. In the 1980's, it was revealed he had some rare Beatles recordings and put them up for action. He had hoped to gain a good amount of money but ended up not getting as much as expected. Some of these tapes are personal demos, some of these are partial demo sessions, a few are of unknown origin but they have become a part of The Beatles' recorded legacy. The quality of each is mixed but as the saying goes, "it is what it is". This is done by the Remasters Workshop in 2010.

Ultra Rare Trax Vol. 2 is a 1988 bootleg CD by The Beatles. This is the second set of Beatles music to be released as a bootleg CD, which at the time was considered revolutionary since it wasn't believed anyone outside of the recording industry could release compact discs, They were wrong. It features outtakes of songs in soundboard quality, which at the time was also unheard of. This was released by The Swingin' Pig, a "relative" of the Trademark Of Quality (TMOQ) label.
