The Beatles - Get Back Journals - 11 LP Box Set – Colored Vinyl – Suma Records

I am the original owner of this box set and bought it brand new back when it was originally released!

Here’s a detailed description:

A full running song file and recording journal of the original Get Back/Let It Be sessions. Recorded Jan/Feb 1969 at Twickenham film studios and later Apple studios, these recordings represent the recordings and rehearsals of the Beatles in preparation for their forthcoming album Get Back (as it was then).

The first 10 LP's contain the original Nagra 2-track engineers’ recordings, called 'sync-tracks’; they were used by the film crew to make work prints and to catalogue the different songs. There are over 120 tracks, there are various versions of the Get Back/Let It Be album tracks plus new songs which the Beatles were working on at the time but were never used, there are also many old standards, a few renditions of old hits and many early versions of tracks which would lafter paper on the Abbey Road album. The Beatles were captured not just recording and rehearsing these songs, but jamming, tuning, chatting, arguing - and of course breaking up. 

The bonus album (#11) is the original Glyn Johns mix of the intended 'Get Back' album with the original track running order! A 15 IPS half track true stereo recording, two generations removed from the original 1969 Apple Records Safety Master, cut at half speed on a Neuman 6600 series helium lathe.

Sixteen months after these recordings and with Phil Spectors help, the album Let It Be was released. The sleeve notes said 'This is a new phase Beatles album'.......  and finished by saying, 'in comes the warmth and freshness of a live performance'. Both these statements could never apply to the radically altered Let It Be, but were in fact describing these recordings for the Get Back album. This was the original intended mix as produced by Glyn Johns and is substantially different to both Let It Be (Phil Spector version) and Let It Be Naked.

The condition of the colored vinyl is mint, they have only been played once or twice the most. They are all in plain white sleeves and come housed in 2 black inner boxes. The outer box is in excellent condition with the exception of some very minor corner wear, two very small scuffs on the bottom of the rear cover and one on the bottom of the front cover.

The 11 LPs in this box set capture a rare episode in Beatles history, as far as I know, many of the tracks have not been heard or have been made available on either the Let It Be film, or subsequent LP releases, bootleg or otherwise
