PROMO VERSION == FIRST PRESSING ! ! ! 

AllMusic: Though more notable for the musicians who contributed to the album than for the actual music contained therein, the Backbeat soundtrack is actually a fantastic record that holds its own even when judged by purely musical criteria. Backbeat (the movie, which is unfortunately a bit of a hack job) chronicles the Beatles' developmental period in Liverpool and Hamburg, so the idea behind the soundtrack was to assemble musicians who could accurately convey the raw, quasi-punk feel of the early leather jacket-clad Fab Four. Producer Don Was, though not usually associated with high-power garage rock, does an excellent job of assembling an amazing post-punk supergroup, the members of which perform cover tunes from the Beatles' actual repertoire with aplomb and surprising cohesion. The band includes powerhouse vocalist Greg Dulli, best known as the leader of the Afghan Whigs, R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills, Nirvana drummer/Foo Fighters guitarist/vocalist Dave Grohl, Thurston Moore (legendary six string strangler with Sonic Youth), noted alternative rock producer/guitarist Don Fleming (Gumball, Hole, Teenage Fanclub, Screaming Trees), and Soul Asylum vocalist Dave Pirner. Pirner, though he only participates on three songs, contributes some of the most energetic lead vocals of his career. Dulli, too, sounds like he's having the time of his life. Overall, the band sounds pretty convincing, except for Grohl's drumming, which, though typically excellent, is obviously from the post-John Bonham hard rock era. Despite that small flaw, however, this album is highly recommended, as it gives a much better idea of the early Beatles over-the-top energy than the film itself.

An alt-rock supergroup of sorts, the Backbeat Band came together for a brief moment in 1993-94 to record and promote the soundtrack to Backbeat, Iain Softley's 1994 fair-to-midlin film chronicling the Fab Four's pre-Beatlemania era in England and Hamburg. Consisting of Afghan Whigs vocalist Greg Dulli, R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills, Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, Sonic Youth vocalist/guitarist Thurston Moore, Gumball guitarist (and prolific producer) Don Fleming, and Soul Asylum vocalist Dave Pirner, the Backbeat Band punctuated the steak-and-potato days of '90s alt-rock with a set of vibrant interpretations of songs the Beatles covered during performances in their pre-Brian Epstein leathers at grimy venues such as Liverpool's Cavern Club and Hamburg's Star Club. Recording the soundtrack's dozen numbers in 1993, the Backbeat Band played one confirmed "gig" during their time together: a blink-and-you-missed-it stage appearance at the MTV Movie Awards on June 10, 1994.






Provenance:

I was the Music Director for my college radio station in 1993 & 1994. That meant I got to open the mail everyday and had a look at all the oddities and promo items the record companies would spend money on to get us to pay attention to their product and to maybe play it on air. I kept a few of the things that the station had no use for - which meant, in the age of CDs, I kept the interesting vinyl and posters. I was not necessarily interested in the music, I kept the item because it seemed novel or unique - mainly for a colored vinyl, or cool cover, or famous artist.

I didn't own a record player then, so I never played any of the vinyl. When I went home for the semester it was put in my parents' basement in a box, where it stayed until now, because the house is being sold. The basement was dry, clean, non-smoking, and climate controlled. 

These records are assured to be mint and unplayed, because I'm the only one who ever touched them - opened the mail at the station, to my room, to the basement, to my place now for shipment. 

Item will be securely packed in modern LP mailer with filler. Mailing out once per week.

To pay combined shipping, just win the several auctions you want, and don't pay for it;  then I will make a combined invoice for shipping them all in the same package and send that to you for payment.
