The Beatles - Thirty Days (The Ultimate Get Back Collection - 17 CDs EDition) 1

The Beatles’ Get Back sessions have been written about to death, so we'll keep it brief. The Beatles gathered on January 2, 1969 at Twickenham Studios with the intention of rehearsing brand new songs for a concert that would be televised live throughout the world. They also agreed to have the entire process filmed for an accompanying documentary. When the sessions drew to a close thirty days later, the spectacular live show had been downgraded to an impromptu concert on the roof of the Apple Building, and the live television broadcast and documentary had been combined and reconfigured into a single feature film. The Beatles left behind them a half-finished album and boxes upon boxes of taped rehearsals, performances, arguments and jams. It is from those boxes that this set is culled.

So what makes this collection "'ultimate"? First off, everything on these 17 discs has been digitally transferred with great care from master tapes. So they sound better than they ever have before! More than 500 rolls of tape were sifted through, and only the very best and most interesting performances were chosen for inclusion. In some cases, performances have even been painstakingly reconstructed from as many as three original tape sources. Secondly, the dialogue and lengthy stop-and-go rehearsals that sometimes made listening to Get Back sessions a chore have been bypassed, with only ‘takes’, serious run-throughs, oldies and the more interesting and structured jams being presented. All the performances that made up the Let It Be album (except for those recorded outside the time frame of the Get Back sessions) can be heard in their original, unadulterated form. And for the very first time, the January 30th rooftop concert has been meticulously reconstructed from ALL existing source material, while the January 31st session that produced "Two Of Us", "The Long And Winding Road" and "Let It Be" is presented in a far more complete (and enjoyable!) form than ever before.
