On my latest trip to Germany I came across an interesting vinyl LP: Reel to Reel : Outtakes 1963 - the Blue Vinyl Limited Edition.
After checking my sources, it seems that Reel to Reel are specializing in releasing outtakes or radio performances by The Rolling Stones and The Beatles, always in limited editions with either picture discs or coloured vinyl.
Here this beauty on my turntable :)
Apparently there are only 500 copies made of this particular pressing, although there also appears to be a Clear Vinyl edition with also 500 copies.
The LP contains a bunch of outtakes, dating from three recording sessions of The Beatles in 1963.
- 11th February 1963;
- 5th March 1963;
- 12 September 1963;
here an example of the Clear Vinyl cover:
The tracklist is as follows:
