    perhaps in a dream there will be a "Super Deluxe Edition" Anthology Vol. 1-3+ boxset released in the next decade so they can sell us/or get downloads of these discoveries (tapes/photos/film clips, etc...) out for a new generation of fans!

    Or they sounded like **** and wanted it forgotten. I find it hard to believe they got video from it

    I'm assuming Brian goofed and actually meant "I Just Don't Understand"....which they ended up doing for the BBC.

    Do we really think a working band like The Beatles sounded like "****"? It had been 6 months since the Decca audition, where they could reasonably be accused of being nervous and having an average drummer.
    I can buy into the story of technical flaws like ground loops and loose parts buzzing on the amps. And still having an average drummer. But this band was ripping it up in Hamburg, had already been live on the BBC months previous, and were days away from their next appearance.
    It's an intriuging story!!

    If they got video of it I'm all for it! Just throwing out reasons why they made wanted the video ditched. I know George Martin felt they could be pretty rough around the edges back at the start

    A big reason why I'm such a fan. I generally can't stand listening to rock bands jamming.

    What is 'pinwheel twist'? I've never heard of an original Beatles song with that title...

    I'm intrigued and would like to hear it too. But it could be a recording of an off day.

    Not to mention at Decca they were all in varying levels of a hangover.

    Maybe ‘Carnival of Light’ will be on the tape! Cool!

    From The Paul McCartney Project.....
    Pinwheel Twist (song)

    Paul wrote the song and asked me to do it. He coupled it with Joey Dee’s hit The Peppermint Twist. I used to get up and do the twist on stage and Paul played my drums. It was a little novelty act and it went down well with the fans.

    Also, it would be interesting if this contains an early attempt at PS Love Me Do.

    the article first mentions a demo tape, then a video... pretty sure it's written by someone who hasn't a clue, so quite likely a 'session tape' has become a 'jam session' without any reason. If it's real, I do think it's the June 6th session.

    I'm not an expert on the session dates. Would this be the one the early Love Me Do on Anthology 1 is taken from? I think the sleevenotes on that mention other tracks being missing. I could be getting mixed up though. It's a very long time since I played it or read the notes.

    If Emerick's book can be believed (which is another story), his second day was 4 September, not 6 June. He was "three months shy of my sixteenth birthday", (5 December), and the account mentions "How Do You Do It", which was recorded on 4 September, not 6 June.

    I have a feeling that when this is all resolved, it will be much ado about very little

    Also: “jam session”? There’s no way such a thing would have taken place, much less been recorded.

    Yes, and there’s the distinct possibility that the Daily Mail’s article writer has no clue that a jam session isn’t the same thing as a recording session, or even really cares .

    It's the long lost She Loves You / P.S. I Love You master 2-track tape obviously.

    Apparently someone randomly shouts "Barcelona!" throughout the jam.

    It’s probably just a copy of the Decca session.
