ORIGINAL INFO:

Best of the Twickenham Rehearsals - 50th anniversary edition - in stereo (no camera beeps)
Recorded 2-14 January 1969 at the Twickenham Film Studios, Richmond upon Thames, London

If you like your Get Back rehearsals raw and unedited, then this compilation is not for you. If, on the other hand, listening through the nearly 100 hours of circulating film soundtrack reels, plagued by sync beeps, seems like much too great an effort for to be only occasionally rewarded by an odd snatch of truly listenable tape, then you might want to give a chance to this compilation of highlights from the Twickenham half of the sessions. (A sequel culled from the Apple sessions may follow later.)

The roughly 40 hours of soundtrack recorded at the studio sound stage between 2 and 14 January 1969 - weekends excepted - has been carefully sifted through and distilled. While there is little that is truly great, there is much that is at least interesting, and on this compilation the "good" has been hand-picked and the "bad" left on the cutting room floor, along with just a tad of the "ugly" also thrown in, to give a fly-on-the-wall impression of the Beatles breaking up on camera. (But a more satisfactory impression, it is hoped, than the 'Let It Be... Naked' bonus disc with that moniker.) The selected tracks, totaling about 5 hours, have been mostly arranged chronologically, although with some exceptions made due to reasons of flow and disc space limitations.

What's more, all of those annoying sync beeps are gone, and to further enhance the listening experience, the edited compilation, originally recorded in mono, has been processed - except for a handful of solo piano and dialogue tracks - into a stereo presentation using modern de-mixing software (NOT micro-second delay or ADT in one channel).


Audio source: Purple Chick's 'A/B Road' v.1.1 (jameskg etc.); for identification purposes, the DDSI numbers in parentheses correspond to tracks on that revised set.
All tracks de-mixed to stereo and edited from the film soundtrack Nagra tape reels, except * mono.
Camera sync beeps ("bloop slates" removed by filtering, editing and patching.
