Live at the BBC (Beatles album)

April 11, 2024

Live at the BBC is a 1994 compilation album featuring performances by the Beatles that were originally broadcast on various BBC Light Programme radio shows from 1963 to 1965. The mono album, available in multiple formats but most commonly as a two-CD set, consists of 56 songs and 13 tracks of dialogue; 30 of the songs had never been issued previously by the Beatles. It was the first official release by the Beatles of previously unreleased performances since The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl in 1977 and the first containing previously unreleased songs since their final studio album, Let It Be, in 1970.

  1. "Baby It's You"
    Released: 20 March 1995

Although the songs were recorded ahead of broadcast, allowing for retakes and occasional overdubbing, they are essentially "live in studio" performances. Most of the songs are cover versions of material from the late 1950s and early 1960s, reflecting the stage set they developed before Beatlemania. Before the album's release, comprehensive collections of the Beatles' BBC performances had become available on bootlegs.

A remastered repackaging of the album was released on 11 November 2013 on the occasion of the release of On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2, a second volume of BBC Radio broadcasts.[1] The two volumes were also released as a double set.

History edit

Recording edit

The Beatles performed for 52 BBC Radio programmes, beginning with an appearance on the series Teenager's Turn—Here We Go, recorded on 7 March 1962, and ending with the special The Beatles Invite You to Take a Ticket to Ride, recorded on 26 May 1965. 47 of their BBC appearances occurred in 1963 and 1964, including 10 on Saturday Club and 15 on their own weekly series Pop Go the Beatles, which began in June 1963.[2] As the Beatles had not accumulated many original songs by this time, the majority of their BBC performances consisted of cover versions, drawing on the repertoire that they had developed for their early stage act. In total, 275 performances of 88 different songs were broadcast, of which 36 songs never appeared on their studio albums.[3]

Several of the programmes aired live, but most were recorded days (or occasionally weeks) ahead of the broadcast date.[2] The BBC's studio facilities were not as advanced as those at Abbey Road, offering only monaural recording (no multitracking) and basic overdubbing; few retakes of songs could be attempted owing to time limitations.[3] It was not the BBC's practice to archive either the session tapes or the shows' master tapes, owing to storage space and contractual restrictions.[4]

Earlier collections and presentations edit

The first collection of Beatles BBC performances was the bootleg album Yellow Matter Custard, issued in 1971, consisting of 14 songs that were probably off-air home recordings made during the original radio broadcasts.[5] Some additional performances with similar "tinny" sound appeared on other bootlegs in the following years; then in 1980, the bootleg The Beatles Broadcasts was released featuring 18 BBC songs with superior sound quality.[5]

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of their first BBC appearance, the BBC (nicknamed "the Beeb") aired the two-hour radio special "The Beatles at the Beeb" in 1982, featuring a mix of BBC performances and interviews (the show was expanded to three hours when syndicated to other countries).[6] The more comprehensive series The Beeb's Lost Beatles Tapes was broadcast by BBC Radio 1 in 1988 as 14 half-hour episodes. When gathering material for that series, only a small number of original tapes were found; many more performances were obtained from vinyl recordings of the programmes that the BBC Transcription Department had made to distribute to BBC stations around the world.[4]

By that time, a 13-album bootleg series had appeared under the title The Beatles at the Beeb, featuring many previously unavailable performances.[5] This was surpassed in 1993 by The Complete BBC Sessions, a nine-CD box set released by Great Dane in Italy, where copyright protection for the broadcasts had expired;[7] the set contained performances from 44 of the Beatles' 52 BBC appearances, including many complete shows.[8]

Compilation and release edit

An official Beatles BBC album was being planned as early as 1982,[9] and it was reported that "EMI was preparing an album" of the BBC material by late 1991.[10] To supplement the archive he had partially rebuilt for The Beeb's Lost Beatles Tapes, BBC Radio producer Kevin Howlett sought out additional sources, such as tapes kept by people involved in the original sessions; others had contacted him after the series aired to inform him of their own home recordings of additional broadcasts.[4] Remaining gaps were filled by recordings taken from available bootlegs.[7]

From the available recordings, the tracks for Live at the BBC were selected by longtime Beatles producer George Martin. Martin's selection criteria included both the quality of the sound and of the Beatles' performance.[4] Of particular interest were the 36 songs that the Beatles never performed on their official releases, of which 30 were selected for the album. Three of the six omitted were from 1962 (none of the 1962 recordings were judged to be of commercial sound quality): Roy Orbison's "Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream)", the Coasters' arrangement of "Bésame Mucho" and Joe Brown's "A Picture of You", all with Pete Best on drums. Two others, from early 1963, also were omitted for substandard sound: the Gerry Goffin–Jack Keller adaptation of Stephen Foster's "Beautiful Dreamer" and Chuck Berry's "I'm Talking About You". The reason for the omission of the final song of the six, Carl Perkins' "Lend Me Your Comb" from July 1963, was not clear as it had very good sound quality, and it was speculated that it was held back for inclusion on a later release;[4] the song was indeed issued the following year on Anthology 1. It was also later included on 2013's On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2, as are "Beautiful Dreamer" and "I'm Talking About You".

The selected songs included "I'll Be on My Way", the only Lennon–McCartney composition that the Beatles recorded for the BBC with no available studio version. The Buddy Holly-style ballad was their first composition to be "given away" without the Beatles attempting to record it for their own release. The song was given to Billy J. Kramer, another artist managed by Brian Epstein recording for Parlophone, who released it in the United Kingdom as the B-side of a cover version of "Do You Want to Know a Secret".[11]

In all, 56 songs were chosen for the album, along with some banter among the group and the hosts. Abbey Road engineer Peter Mew used audio manipulation software to reduce noise, repair minor drop-outs and equalise to a more consistent sound from one track to the next.[4] The resulting sound quality was considered generally better than the best equivalent bootlegged versions available at the time, although a small number of tracks were noted as exceptions.[7]

Live at the BBC was released on 30 November 1994 in the UK (Apple/Parlophone PCSP 726), and on 6 December 1994 in the United States (Apple/Capitol CDP 7243-8-31796-2-6). The track listing on the back of the CD case inadvertently included the word "Top" at the start of the song title "So How Come (No One Loves Me)"; the listing was corrected for the 2001 reissue. When "Baby It's You" was released as a single in March 1995, it contained three other BBC songs that were not included in the album, two of which would eventually be found on volume two.

2013 remaster edit

The 11 November 2013 remastered reissue features some minor changes in the track listing and editing. The original version of the album crossfaded the musical and speech tracks, whereas the remastered version does not, providing clean starts and endings for each track. The most noticeable change is the inclusion of three extra tracks. The only musical addition is the closing version of "From Us to You" at the end of disc two. "What is it, George?" is a new speech track between "Carol" and "Soldier of Love" on disc one. The speech track "Ringo? Yep!" replaces "Have a Banana!" as track three on disc two. The majority of "Have a Banana!" has been added to the end of the previous track, "A Hard Day's Night", but the phrase itself, which gave the original speech track its title, has been omitted.

Live at the BBC debuted at number 1 on the Canadian charts,[16] peaked at number 3 on the US Billboard 200 album chart[17] and reached number 1 on the UK Albums Chart.[18] The album sold an estimated 8 million copies worldwide during its first year of release.[19]

A reviewer for Time said that the collection contained "few buried treasures", but "as a time capsule, the set is invaluable".[20] Another reviewer described it as "worth hearing" even though the album is a "quaint memento" in which The Beatles sound "scruffy and fairly tame".[21] Anthony DeCurtis, writing for Rolling Stone, was more enthusiastic, calling the album "an exhilarating portrait of a band in the process of shaping its own voice and vision" while noting the "irresistible" spirit and energy of the performances.[22]

The album received a Grammy nomination for Best Historical Album.[citation needed]

editRecording edit The Beatles performed for 52 BBC Radio programmes beginning with an appearance on the series Teenager s Turn Here We Go recorded on 7 March 1962 and ending with the special The Beatles Invite You to Take a Ticket to Ride recorded on 26 May 1965 47 of their BBC appearances occurred in 1963 and 1964 including 10 on Saturday Club and 15 on their own weekly series Pop Go the Beatles which began in June 1963 2 As the Beatles had not accumulated many original songs by this time the majority of their BBC performances consisted of cover versions drawing on the repertoire that they had developed for their early stage act In total 275 performances of 88 different songs were broadcast of which 36 songs never appeared on their studio albums 3 Several of the programmes aired live but most were recorded days or occasionally weeks ahead of the broadcast date 2 The BBC s studio facilities were not as advanced as those at Abbey Road offering only monaural recording no multitracking and basic overdubbing few retakes of songs could be attempted owing to time limitations 3 It was not the BBC s practice to archive either the session tapes or the shows master tapes owing to storage space and contractual restrictions 4 Earlier collections and presentations edit The first collection of Beatles BBC performances was the bootleg album Yellow Matter Custard issued in 1971 consisting of 14 songs that were probably off air home recordings made during the original radio broadcasts 5 Some additional performances with similar tinny sound appeared on other bootlegs in the following years then in 1980 the bootleg The Beatles Broadcasts was released featuring 18 BBC songs with superior sound quality 5 To commemorate the 20th anniversary of their first BBC appearance the BBC nicknamed the Beeb aired the two hour radio special The Beatles at the Beeb in 1982 featuring a mix of BBC performances and interviews the show was expanded to three hours when syndicated to other countries 6 The more comprehensive series The Beeb s Lost Beatles Tapes was broadcast by BBC Radio 1 in 1988 as 14 half hour episodes When gathering material for that series only a small number of original tapes were found many more performances were obtained from vinyl recordings of the programmes that the BBC Transcription Department had made to distribute to BBC stations around the world 4 By that time a 13 album bootleg series had appeared under the title The Beatles at the Beeb featuring many previously unavailable performances 5 This was surpassed in 1993 by The Complete BBC Sessions a nine CD box set released by Great Dane in Italy where copyright protection for the broadcasts had expired 7 the set contained performances from 44 of the Beatles 52 BBC appearances including many complete shows 8 Compilation and release edit An official Beatles BBC album was being planned as early as 1982 9 and it was reported that EMI was preparing an album of the BBC material by late 1991 10 To supplement the archive he had partially rebuilt for The Beeb s Lost Beatles Tapes BBC Radio producer Kevin Howlett sought out additional sources such as tapes kept by people involved in the original sessions others had contacted him after the series aired to inform him of their own home recordings of additional broadcasts 4 Remaining gaps were filled by recordings taken from available bootlegs 7 From the available recordings the tracks for Live at the BBC were selected by longtime Beatles producer George Martin Martin s selection criteria included both the quality of the sound and of the Beatles performance 4 Of particular interest were the 36 songs that the Beatles never performed on their official releases of which 30 were selected for the album Three of the six omitted were from 1962 none of the 1962 recordings were judged to be of commercial sound quality Roy Orbison s Dream Baby How Long Must I Dream the Coasters arrangement of Besame Mucho and Joe Brown s A Picture of You all with Pete Best on drums Two others from early 1963 also were omitted for substandard sound the Gerry Goffin Jack Keller adaptation of Stephen Foster s Beautiful Dreamer and Chuck Berry s I m Talking About You The reason for the omission of the final song of the six Carl Perkins Lend Me Your Comb from July 1963 was not clear as it had very good sound quality and it was speculated that it was held back for inclusion on a later release 4 the song was indeed issued the following year on Anthology 1 It was also later included on 2013 s On Air Live at the BBC Volume 2 as are Beautiful Dreamer and I m Talking About You The selected songs included I ll Be on My Way the only Lennon McCartney composition that the Beatles recorded for the BBC with no available studio version The Buddy Holly style ballad was their first composition to be given away without the Beatles attempting to record it for their own release The song was given to Billy J Kramer another artist managed by Brian Epstein recording for Parlophone who released it in the United Kingdom as the B side of a cover version of Do You Want to Know a Secret 11 In all 56 songs were chosen for the album along with some banter among the group and the hosts Abbey Road engineer Peter Mew used audio manipulation software to reduce noise repair minor drop outs and equalise to a more consistent sound from one track to the next 4 The resulting sound quality was considered generally better than the best equivalent bootlegged versions available at the time although a small number of tracks were noted as exceptions 7 Live at the BBC was released on 30 November 1994 in the UK Apple Parlophone PCSP 726 and on 6 December 1994 in the United States Apple Capitol CDP 7243 8 31796 2 6 The track listing on the back of the CD case inadvertently included the word Top at the start of the song title So How Come No One Loves Me the listing was corrected for the 2001 reissue When Baby It s You was released as a single in March 1995 it contained three other BBC songs that were not included in the album two of which would eventually be found on volume two 2013 remaster edit The 11 November 2013 remastered reissue features some minor changes in the track listing and editing The original version of the album crossfaded the musical and speech tracks whereas the remastered version does not providing clean starts and endings for each track The most noticeable change is the inclusion of three extra tracks The only musical addition is the closing version of From Us to You at the end of disc two What is it George is a new speech track between Carol and Soldier of Love on disc one The speech track Ringo Yep replaces Have a Banana as track three on disc two The majority of Have a Banana has been added to the end of the previous track A Hard Day s Night but the phrase itself which gave the original speech track its title has been omitted Reception editProfessional ratingsReview

as worth hearing even though the album is a quaint memento in which The Beatles sound scruffy and fairly tame 21 Anthony DeCurtis writing for Rolling Stone was more enthusiastic calling the album an exhilarating portrait of a band in the process of shaping its own voice and vision while noting the irresistible spirit and energy of the performances 22 The album received a Grammy nomination for
