Fifth release in Purple Chick Deluxe Edition.

History of "Get Back" Bootleg (Revised) For over 20 years, the collecting public has been fed a continuing stream of bootlegs drawn from the Twickenham sessions. These have usually been chopped up, placed out of sequence, and presented in inferior sound quality. Of course, bootleggers can only work from material at their disposal, and in the beginning the only material available was the film "Let It Be". The first Twickenham material to appear, then, came from the soundtrack of the film on a double album called "Cinelogue: Let It Be", which was released in February, 1974 by Contra Band Music. Of course, this was back in the days before home video, so fans were more delighted to be able to enjoy the "Let It Be" soundtrack on record! The release of the "Let It Be" videotape in 1982 provided a new audio source, and bootlegs produced after that date were mastered from the video soundtrack rather than film. The first of these was "In a Play Anyway", a 2 LP set on Circuit Records (matrix number TWK 2262). A further reissue by Beeb Transcri- ption Records (on a new plate TR-2170) was titled "The Last Blast". It was released in 1988 and it's sound quality is slightly inferior. Of course, most of the film soundtrack from Twickenham is completely useless because longer source tapes have surfaced.

Birds Sing Out Of Tune is a 2-volume bootleg CD series by Liverpool pop combo The Beatles. Part of the Misterclaudel experience, these discs feature a number of group and solo demos, either songs made for The Beatles or for artists they worked during their existence as The Beatles.

The packaging isn't deluxe but the songs are. An alphabetical collection of most of their greatest hits from their first album to their last on three CDs. Two more CDs feature the greatest solo hits of the fab four, also arranged alphabetically. Almost 100 songs. A nice addition to my collection. - Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2014.
