THE BEATLES / Bournemouth 1963 (2CD HMC-BOOKLET)

The Beatles – "Bournemouth 1963" – Latest Release from HMC Label!
The highly anticipated new release from the renowned Beatles collectors' label HMC is finally here! "Bournemouth 1963" features a 2-CD collection of four rare live performances from 1963, a pivotal year when Beatlemania took the UK by storm.

Disc 1: Bournemouth & More
For the first time ever, the complete August 1963 Bournemouth concert is included, featuring all 10 songs recorded by theater chief technician Tom Mellor at the Gaumont Cinema on August 21 (though the jacket states August 23, the master tape is labeled August 21). This recording stands as the earliest full-length live Beatles concert from 1963, preserved from the original 1/4-inch reel tape auctioned in 1998 and acquired by Apple. Some of this material was previously aired on BBC Radio, but this marks the first-ever complete release. The setlist includes early gems like Chains and Baby It’s You, as well as She Loves You, performed just before its single release—a truly historic Beatles live recording!

Additionally, Disc 1 features two songs from the April 5, 1963, performance at London’s EMI House, a rare set from the Please Please Me silver disc award party. Also included are five previously unreleased songs from the May 24, 1963, Walthamstow concert, now presented in full for the first time. This section also includes two songs from supporting act Roy Orbison, making it an essential addition for collectors.

Disc 2: Birmingham Stowe School Performance
Recently rediscovered, the April 4, 1963, concert at Birmingham’s Stowe School was unveiled during a 2023 BBC Radio broadcast and later made available by the British Library. This disc contains the complete recording, meticulously restored with pitch correction, noise reduction, and bass enhancements. Additionally, two missing songs, performed at the concert but previously unrecorded, have been reconstructed using recordings from alternate performances. This edition offers the best-quality version of the historic Stowe School gig.

A must-have for Beatles collectors, "Bournemouth 1963" presents newly unearthed live recordings from the early days of the Fab Four. Secure your exclusive copy today!
