Liner Notes:
THE BEATLES BEAT
Is the first release on CD of the legendary Beatles album. From the original  master recording digitally remasted .
THE BEATLES SESSIONS (STEREO)
From the original master recording digitally remasted.
COME AND GET IT    2:26
(Paul McCartney);
Lead Vocal: Paul
Recorded in Studio 2 Abbey Road on July 24, the same day as "Sun King". This  song was given to the Apple band Badfinger and became their first hit in  1970. It was also featured in the movie "The Magic Cristian" which starred  Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr.
LEAVE MY KITTEN ALONE   2:54
(John/Turner/McDougal);
Lead Vocal: John
Recorded in Studio 2 Abbey Road on August 14, 1964, during the sessions for  the "Beatles for Sale" album. This late 50's rocker was also previously recorded  by, amongst others, Little Willie John and Johnny Preston.
NOT GUILTY    3:17
(Harrison);
Lead Vocal: George
This track, recordet on August 8 1968 in Abbey Road Studio 2, was intended  for release on the "White Album" in November 1968 but never made it onto  the final album. It has long been rumoured that a certain well-known guitarist  featured on this recording. Incidentally, George re-recorded a gentler version  of this song on his 1979 "Dark Horse" album "George Harrison".
I'M LOOKING THROUGH YOU    2:56
(Lennon/McCartney); Lead Vocal: Paul
The final version of this song appeared on "Rubber Soul" album in December  1965. This is take one, recorded on October 24 that year, again in Studio  2. Although this version is longer than the one on the album, the "bridge",  or middle part of the song, does not appear - probably because it had not  been written at the time.
WHAT'S TNE NEW, MARY JANE?   6:06
(Lennon/McCartney);
Lead Vocal: John
Like George's "Not Guilty", this track was also recorded during the "White  Album" sessions (in Studio 2) on August 14, 1968. However, it was again emitted  from the final album.
HOW DO YOU DO IT     1:56
(Mitch Murray);
Lead Vocal: John
Recorded on September 4, 1962, the same date as the original commercial version  of "Love Me Do", with Ringo drumming. Much has been written about the group  deliberately performing this song badly in order to have their own song chosen  as the second single, but as this track was recorded month before the release  of "Love Me Do", this theory would appear to be somewhat far-fatchet. This  song was later recorded by Gerry and the Pacemakers and became their first  Number One in the UK.
BESAME MUCHO    2:33
(Velazquez/Wilson/Skylar);
Lead Vocal: Paul
On June 8 1962 the Beatles recorded for the first time at EMI's Abbey Road  studios. At this stage the group consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney,  George Harrison and on drums Pete Best. Four titles were recorded - early  versions of "Love Me Do", "P. S. I Love You", "Ask Me Why" plus "Besame Mucho".  The song, wich dates back to the thirties, was revised in the late fifties  and had long been part of the Beatles stage set. It was included in their  audition for Decca in January 1962.
ONE AFTER 909     2:53

(Lennon/McCartney);
Lead Vocal: John and Paul
Despite being on of the earliest Lennon /McCartney compositions. "One After  909" didn't make it onto vinyl until 1970 when it was included on the "Let  It Be" album. This version, however, was recorded on March 5 1963, the same  day as this takes of "From Me To You" and "Thank You Girl".
IF YOU'VE GOT TROUBLES     2:21
(Lennon/McCartney);
Lead Vocal: Ringo
This peviously unreleased Lennon/ McCartney original was recorded on on February  18, 1965 during sessions for the "Help" album. It was no doubt intended as  Ringo's vocal contribution on the album, but was ultimtely replaced by "Act  Naturally".
THAT MEANS A LOT     2:27
(Lennon/McCartney);
Lead Vocal: Paul
Recorded on February 20, 1965 during sessions for the "Help" album. The track  was given to P. J. Proby and he had a minor hit with his version later that  year.
WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS      3:21
(Harrison);
Lead Vocal: George
Recorded on July 25 1968, this version demonstrates how a song can change  between the first take and the final released version. Take one features  only George singing and just two intruments - acoustic guitar and keyboards.  It's interesting to note that the last verse of the song was not retained  when it was re-recorded for inclusion on the "White Album".
MAILMAN, BRING ME NO MORE BLUES       1:56
(Roberts/Katz/Clayton); Lead Vocal: John
Recorded on January 291969 during the session for a "Get Back" album that  was later re-titled "Let It Be".
CHRISTMAS TIME (IS HERE AGAIN)     1:09
(Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey);
Lead Vocal: The Beatles
Between December 1963 and December 1969 the Beatles fan club issued seven  Christmas flexi discs to their members. These records, which have became  collectors' items, ranged from more or less audio "thank you's" to their  fans through to mini pantomimes. Although the records featured strongly the  Beatles madcap humour, some music featured, particularly on the 1967 release,  which originally featured this track.
