Unreleased 6/6/1962 Beatles EMI Session Tape, Geoff Emerick*

While that’s true, She Loves You isn’t the outlier people often think it is. It’s just that since it was a non-LP track, it wasn’t mixed to stereo. The existing outtakes are the exception, not the rule. Only the single Hold Me Tight/Don’t Bother Me reel exists from WTB, for example.

 

As far as I know, Barrett died in early 1984 and his notes were then used by Emerick in preparing the Sessions album. I'm not sure if Emerick was working on the LP while Barrett was still alive.

 

that's a new one to me - what was on it???

 

The four songs on the new EP (Parlophone SGE 1) are "The Inner Light", "Baby, You're a Rich Man", "She's a Woman" and "This Boy".

Stereo versions all, right?

 

I believe This Boy is fake stereo.

 

It is on the 7", but corrected on the CD EP.

 

I have a bootleg which includes a track listed as an early take of "Run For Your Life" (I forget which "take"). But it's a count-in, and nothing more, not even a breakdown.

Why?

 

Well, we didn't get Super Deluxe box sets of any Beatles album before Sgt. Pepper yet...

But 'Besame Mucho' got a repeated outro edit/loop in Sessions / Anthology 1 and fades out, while a bootleg showed the track actually has a short outro and possibly ends non-faded.

 

As I’ve pointed out, they are the same length.

 

Actually I forgot how long the Anthology 1 version is running. I thought because of the loop in the end it 'automatically' would be longer than the original untouched take.^^

 

I posted a comparison clip upthread.

 

Probably because it's amusing, Norman Smith announcing "run for your life, you..."

 

Is it possible Mrs. Martin didn’t find the early “Love Me Do” recording in a closet, but rather that it was Mr. Martin who rang up Mr. Emerick and said, “About that tape you have...”?

It sounds quite clean, clear for a 1962 acetate.

And it wouldn't be the first time Mr. Martin manufactured a story about how something fortuitous fell into his lap, in order to sanitize an aspect of the Beatles story.

 

Heard it ? Where , how ? When ?

 

Maybe Mona Best wanted it suppressed for quite awhile?

 

Maybe she thought it made Bernard Purdie look bad.

 

They worked together ? Revolver ? Pepper ?

I imagine it could have been mentioned in casual conversation between Martin and Emerick at some point, such as during the days of recording Abbey Road.

 

No. Simply the quote about how clear it sounded. I suppose you were quoting George Martin.

 

Presumably you also have Anthology 1.

 

Ha ha. I just misread him. Thought he had heard all or part of the acetate.

What happened to the Girl from the Emerick family that chatted with us here, anymore info from her ?

 

If he listened to Anthology I, then he heard it. Disc 1, Track 22.

 

Were all of the many posts, in this thread, from the Emerick family member removed ??? Blimey whew.

 

No.

Any updates on this whole thing ?

 

Last time I checked, the next court session was scheduled for March 8th.
