The Beatles Ultra Rare Trax Vol.1
ヘフナー・ベースの弦を交換しながら昨日の日記に書いた「The Beatles Unsurpassed Masters Vol.1」を聴いていたら、そのままこっちのシリーズまで聴いてしまい一日中ビートルズでした(笑)。買ったのは「The Beatles Ultra Rare Trax Vol.1」の方が先です。初めて聴いた時は海賊盤にあるまじき高音質に驚きました。スタジオ録音なので当たり前なのですが。(^^;)このCDには簡単な曲解説もありますので、それを含めて曲目を以下に。1.I SAW HER STANDING THERE[TAKE 2]Recorded on Feb.11th 1963, from "PLEASE PLEASE ME" session.Continued from warming-up,they start a great Live performance in the studio.John makes a mistake with some lyrics and Paul makesa mistake with some bass lines.
