| No | Tracklisting | Notes | Time |
| 1 | When I'm Sixty Four | Take 4 remix 6 (RM6), marked 'best' until Paul suggested on Friday December 30th that they scrap all previous mixes and start again, speeding up the new mix to raise it by as much as a semitone | 2:47 |

| 6 | Top of The Pops | Recorded at Abbey Road on Monday March 20th 1967 for the Brian Matthew hosted radio programme "Top Of The Pops". The show wasn't broadcast on the domestic network as the BBC's Transcription Service was solely for overseas sales. | 5:09 |
| 7 | It's All Too Much | Recorded at De Lane Lea Recording Studios, 128 Kingsway, London WC2 on Thursday May 25th 1967. This is the mixdown reduction from Take 4 that was later featured in the Yellow Submarine film. Remixed on Wednesday/Thursday October 16th/17th 1968 and numbered as Take 196! | 8:13 |
| 8 | John Lennon Intro For Kenny Everett | Recording and airing date unknown for this typical Lennon piece. | 0:27 |
| 9 | Where It's At - Sgt Pepper | Recording dates unknown, but this BBC Light Programme hosted by Chris Denning contained a pre-produced segment by Kenny Everett about Sgt Pepper's. This show, aired on Saturday May 20th 1967 featured ALL the Pepper songs apart from "A Day In The Life" as it was banned by the BBC the previous day. It has not been heard in this form since that date. | 36:08 |
| 10 | Ivor Novello Awards - Intro | These awards were for 1966 and were recorded on Thursday March 23rd 1967 at The
Playhouse Theatre, London. The following interviews were recorded at Abbey Road Studios on Monday March 20th for inclusion
in the BBC Light Programme that was aired on Monday March 27th 1967. These interviews have never appeared on CD before. Exclusive to this series. Quite poor quality "off radio" recording. |

| 1 | Radio London Close Down Message | Recorded on Monday July 31st 1967 at Radio London's central office in Curzon Street, for broadcast on Saturday August 5th 1967. This is Ringo's farewell message to the listeners | 0:27 |
| 2 | All You Need Is Love | Take 58 - The "Our World" broadcast of Sunday June 25th 1967. | 7:01 |
| 3 | All You Need Is Love | Take 58 Remix 11 (RM11) - with an extra line of vocal and an abrupt ending. | 4:16 |
| 4 | Your Mother Should Know | Take 1 Recorded at Chappell Recording Studios, 52 Maddox Street, London Wl on Tuesday August 22nd 1967. This song recorded at 30 ips caused Abbey Road Studios some transfer problems in September 1967 when the overdubs were done in preparation for the MMT EP release. | 2:26 |
| 5 | Blue Jay Way | Take 3 Stereo remix 2 (RS2) | 3:54 |
| 6 | I Am The Walrus | Take 17 RM10/RM22 - This is the longest complete version of the Lennon masterpiece. It features all the added extras that were issued on the variety of different singles, EPs and LPs around the world. | 4:38 |
| 7 | "Scene and Heard" with George Harrison |
Interview with George by Miranda Ward recorded on Wednesday September 13th 1967 at The Atlantic Hotel, Dane Road, Newquay, Cornwall. This segment was included in the premiere edition of Scene and Heard broadcast on Saturday September 30th 1967 by Radio One | 5:04 |
| 8 | "The Frost Programme" with John and George |
A first ever on CD, and never heard since its original broadcast on The Frost Programme,
broadcast live from Studio One, Wembley Studios, Wembley, on Wednesday October 4th 1967. John Lennon and George Harrison had
appeared on the Friday September 29th edition discussing drugs and meditation. Public interest was so high that they
returned. The entire show was devoted to the subject of Transcendental Meditation, with John and George answering questions
from viewers and participating in a studio discussion. The show was taped between 6.00pm and 7.00pm and broadcast later
that night at 10.30pm - 11.15pm. The show is presented in its complete form, thought lost, until recently. One of the highlights of this series. (Definately, said Graham) |
38:17 |
| 9 | Where It's At - Magical Mystery Tour | This is an unbroadcast John Lennon segment from the Radio One programme "Where It's At", which was co-hosted by Chris Denning and Kenny Everett to promote the Magical Mystery Tour double EP set. | 2:47 |
| 10 | All Together On The Wireless Machine | Paul provided this piano/vocal for the "Where It's At" broadcast on Saturday November 25th 1967. Like the rest of the interviews included, a recording date is unknown, but it is thought to have been recorded at Paul's home at 7 Cavendish Avenue, St John's Wood, London. This is the longest known version to be ever released - and in super quality. | 1:06 |
| No | Tracklisting | Notes | Time |
| 1 | Across The Universe | Take 8 - The version without the Wildlife effects for the first time ever. (really ??) | 3:29 |
| 2 | Hey Bulldog | Stereo remix from Take 10 - Another first. The 1997 - 1999 remixed version from the re-release of the Yellow Submarine film. Originally recorded on Sunday February 11th 1968 in Studio Three, Abbey Road this version contains a different vocal mix from that of the original film and album release. | 3:23 |
| 3 | Kenny Everett | Recorded by Kenny Everett on Thursday June 6th 1968 at Abbey Road, while more work on Ringo's "Don't Pass Me By" was taking place. This is the full version of the interviews that Kenny taped, and they are different from the broadcast show of Sunday June 9th 1968. George is evident on this recording but was not on the Radio One airing. This clean version also differs from the Italian Apple promotional pressing titled "Una Sensazionale Intervista Dei Beatles". The source of this recording is from Kenny Everett's private acetate collection. | 13:34 |
| 4 | Ob La Di, Ob La Da | Take 5 - This was the basic take that further overdubs would be added to. The Beatles recorded a remake, thus rejecting this version. | 2:50 |
| 5 | While My Guitar Gently Weeps | Take 1 - A very clean version of this beautiful George Harrison composition. It contains an extra verse and George's comment to the control room "Let's hear that back!" | 3:12 |
| 6 | Frost On Saturday | John and Yoko appeared live on the fourth edition of David Frost's new interview series.
Recorded and transmitted on Saturday August 24th 1968 from Studio One, Wembley Studios, Wembley. John and Yoko discussed
their views about "vibrations" and about Art. The word "Beatles" scarcely came into the conversation until the end.... Another definate highlight of this series (said Graham) |
20:22 |
| 7 | Hey Jude | Not documented in any text before, and that includes the excellent Mark Lewisohn "The
Complete Beatles Chronicle", this was this first public airing of Hey Jude. As the programme above's end credits appear
John looks surprised that he can hear Hey Jude being played through the studio speakers. Then in typical Lennon style he
joins in !!! First time ever on CD. |
0:57 |
| 8 | Step Inside Love | Recorded on Monday September 16th 1968 as an ad-lib piece from Take 35 of Paul's "I Will" composition. | 1:27 |
| 9 | Los Paranoias | As above - this is the complete version that differs from the Apple Anthology release. | 3:54 |
| 10 | The Way You Look Tonight | Next comes an unreleased McCartney ditty which also formed part of Take 35 of "I Will". | 1:14 |
| 11 | Can You Take Me Back | Take 19 of "I Will" provided this untitled and uncopyrighted ditty. It was used in between "Cry Baby Cry" and "Revolution 9" in part on The White Album, but for the first time we hear the complete run through of this, another unreleased McCartney tune. | 1:13 |
| 12 | The White Album | To promote the release of The Beatles (White Album) Paul gave this interview to the
former Australian radio DJ Tony Macarthur. He was the new programme director of Radio Luxembourg. Recorded at Paul's house
at 7, Cavendish Avenue on Wednesday November 20th 1968 it was aired the following day between 7.30 - 9.30 pm. It is
interesting to hear Paul talk honestly about the songs on The White Album at the time of its release, instead of rewriting
the story many years later! This is another first for CD. |
17:11 |

| 22 | Abbey Road medley: Mean Mr Mustard Her Majesty Polythene Pam She Came In Through The Bathroom Window |
This is how the medley was originally compiled, until on Wednesday July 30th 1969 Paul instructed Engineer John Kurlander to cut out "Her Majesty" as he didn't like it!
