Please NOTE:
Some of my PHOTOS suffer from LOW LIGHT lighting conditions (due to very cloudy / rainy days recently).
This causes unavoidable grain and spottiness in image, particularly on dark covers / labels and especially the vinyl.
I apologize for that and assure all bidders that such grain/spots are Digital Artifacts only - are not actually present
on these LP Covers / labels / vinyl themselves at all  - and DO NOT properly represent the true condition.
My camera simply is not able to resolve fine detail in low light ...especially on the vinyl grooves.

In any such case, please always refer to the written grade and description for accurate condition details.
*some of the vinyl is appearing like unearthed ancient archeological artifacts or mars-scapes (!)
If this could have been at all avoided it would have been. ...hopefully new camera soon.

Please see my FEEDBACK and bid with complete confidence.

RARE 1996 only VINYL issue - Never repressed on Vinyl.?

As the second installment of the Anthology series, the 3 LP set is overspilling with the Beatles' increasing use of the studio-as-laboratory during their "middle years." Some rare (Budokon, Blackpool ABC Theatre, Shea Stadium) live material from 1965 to 1966 also appears, and the second "reunion" single ("Real Love") leads off the 3-LP set. The emphasis, though, is on alternate takes from early 1965 to early 1968, during the time when the group rapidly evolved from post-Merseybeat through folk-rock to psychedelia.

The Help!-era outtakes "If You've Got Troubles" and "That Means a Lot" are very fun, especially the latter, which Paul and the group perform much better than P.J. Proby (who covered the song shortly afterward). Some of the alternate takes are extremely different and excellent performances on their own merits; showing that they actually could have worked as the released version quite as successfully as those we know and love: the funkier version of "I'm Looking Through You" and the less mellow arrangement of "Norwegian Wood", a wall-of-drugs reverb for "Tomorrow Never Knows", a very Byrds-like approach to "And Your Bird Can Sing" (with the lads breaking up ito occasional laughing fits), and an acoustic demo of "Fool on the Hill".

The earlier, much more acoustic version of "Strawberry Fields Forever" is perhaps the brightest gem. The seven live tracks, from the waning days of Beatlemania, are better than many would have assumed, showing the group still fully capable of generating heat on-stage.
