Music reviews of Beatles/ Signatures: Studio Adventures-Takes and Retakes

Music Review: Takes and Retakes? No-- Hashed and Re-Hashed
Rating: 2 Stars

This is a very tiresome rehash of early Beatles outtakes appearantly sourced from Unsurpassed Masters Vol.1 (1962-1963) with a few Out-takes from their solo albums, and an Ed Sullivan Show number. Unless you just *have* to have the solo numbers, product like this should be avoided. This bootleg brings little (if anything) that is new, previously unreleased, or 'rare.' It's a re-hash of previously released bootlegs that 'any Beatles collector' even one from 'Noo Zilland' should recognize as a rip-off. Bootleggers have been robbing fans blind for years repackaging previously released material, as noted in Bootleg: The Secret History of the Other Recording Industry and this is another example of it. Buy the 8 volumes of the Unsurpassed Masters series if you don't have it already-- it's all Core Collection material straight from the 2nd generation reels, and avoid this turkey-- it should have been subtitled "Hashed and Re-Hashed".
