    The Beatles' chauffeur, Alf Bicknell tape

    As for the performances themselves, there's little to say.   "Don't Bother Me" was recorded sometime between August 19th and 24th, 1963, as George was composing the tune.  "Rockin' / Rollin'" seems to have been a very early attempt at home double-tracking (as a bonus, we've added a stereo version of this, which was originally included on "Anthology +").  "If I Fell" comes from early 1964, and is a very rare surviving example of a John Lennon composing tape from this era.  In addition to the home recordings here as well - most significantly, outtakes of "Please Mr. Postman" and "It Won't Be Long," from July 30th, 1963 which appear nowhere else.  Wrapping things are some audio verite tapes of the Boys (and Gerry Marsden) goofing on passersby, singing along with the radio, and offering some rather twisted Bible recitations. Admittedly, this material isn't the best of quality, but this is, most certainly, the best quality of this tape to surface.  We hope you enjoy this audio time capsule of the early Beatles.
