The long-awaited new album “Bournemouth 1963” by HMC, a label specializing in overseas Beatles, is finally available! This 2-CD set contains four rare live recordings from 1963, the year the Beatlemania phenomenon took off in the UK. Disc 1 features the first appearance of all 10 tracks from the Bournemouth show in August 1963, recorded by theater chief engineer Tom Mellor at the Gowmont Cinema on August 21 from a six-night run from August 19-24, and is the oldest historical live recording of an entire Beatles show in '63. The original 1/4” reel-to-reel tape was auctioned off in 1998, and was purchased by Apple. The setlist is unique to that time, and includes “Chains” and “Baby It's You,” as well as “She Loves You” just before the release of the single, capturing the sincerity of the early Beatles' performance. The following two songs were performed at EMI House in London on April 5, 1963, at a party to celebrate the silver disc release of the “Please Please Me” album. The complete five songs from the Walthamstow performance on May 24, 1963, outside of London, are included for the first time. Although some excerpts of the performance have been previously released, this is the first complete recording of the existing material, including two songs by Roy Orbison, who performed with the band. Disc 2 contains the recently discovered performance at Birmingham Stowe School on April 4, 1963, which was first broadcast on BBC radio in 2023 and later released to the public at the British Library, and is a complete recording of the rare live recording. This is the best and most sound-enhanced version of the original recording. This is the latest release on the HMC label!
