    recorded EMI studios, London, 1 and 2 June 1964
    Two songs from the A Hard Day´s Night album, presented here in rare mono-versions, released in the USA in 1964!
    The main difference are: I´ll Cry Instead was edited to make it longer. The first verse was repeated towards the end. And the US mono-mix of Anytime At All has the piano mixed down low in the instrumental break. 
13. If I fell
    recorded: John´s home, early 1964
    An excerpt from a composing tape made by John on a cassette recorder (hence the sound). But it is charming nonetheless to hear him play an acoustic version of one of his most beautiful ballads 
14. If I fell
    recorded: BBC.Broadcasting House, 13 July 1964
    ...and the Beatles treated it very well, as you can har by listening to another unreleased “radio-only” performance. This time for the BBC´s Top Gear program, broadcast on 16 July, 1964

18. That Means A Lot (take 1)
19. That Means A Lot (take 20)
    recorded: EMI Studios, 20 February 1965 and 30 March 1965
    ... and there were time when even the Beatle got lost. This song never really made it, despit a not so bad take 1 on Anthology 1. But over one month later the Beatles, not satisfied go back to the song and things got even worse...

    A blistering live version of Revolution is next. When the Beatles made a promo film for this song at Twickeham Studios in London, they sang to a pre-recorded backing track

22. Octupus´s Garden
    recorded: EMI Studios, 08.12.1969
    Like the previous track this is not a really Beatles recording. This recording of other musicians supplying bass, lead guitar and piano to Ringo´s 29 April vocal recording and drumming was necessary because Ringo was to appear on a George Martin TV-Special and due to union laws it has to be live.
23. Get Back (reprise)
    recorded: Apple Roof 30.01.1969
    We hope that by listening to this Anthology 2000 set, a splendid time was had by all an we say bye, bye from the Apple Roof
