The Beatles Acetate Collection Vol. 3 collects together various rarities from the band’s career. Like with their other releases, Unicorn Records didn’t alter or remaster the tapes, but present them in their primal state. All of them are in excellent condition and with great sound quality. Some are more scratchy than others, but overall all are very good.
