Worldwide Beatles collectors take note!
From the highly regarded HMC label comes Bournemouth 1963 in a brand-new single CD edition with redesigned artwork — exclusively in stock now!
【Overseas original new 1CD jewel case edition】
This release from Beatles-specialist label HMC features a redesigned cover and collects some of the rarest 1963 live recordings, the very year Beatlemania exploded across the UK. Most notably, it presents for the very first time the complete August 21 Bournemouth Gaumont Cinema concert — 10 full tracks, recorded by the theater’s chief engineer Tom Mellor during the group’s six-night residency from August 19–24. This is historically the earliest known full Beatles concert recording. The original 1/4-inch reel tape surfaced at auction in 1998 and was acquired by Apple; while fragments were broadcast on BBC Radio, this release finally brings the legendary show in full, with songs such as Chains, Baby It’s You, and even She Loves You just before its single release — capturing the raw, sincere energy of the early Beatles in concert.
Also included are two rare tracks from April 5, 1963, recorded at London’s EMI House during the party celebrating the silver disc award for Please Please Me. In addition, the set features five complete songs from the May 24, 1963 Walthamstow concert, appearing in full here for the first time, including two numbers by tour-mate Roy Orbison that had only circulated in excerpts before.
A must-have item for Beatles collectors, this exclusive HMC reissue offers historic early 1963 performances and first-ever appearances of legendary tapes — newly packaged with fresh artwork (note: contents are identical to Disc 1 of the earlier 2CD edition).
