In April 1960 during the school vacation Paul borrowed a neighbour's
tape recorder to record the then-called "Beatals" in his family home
at No.20 Forthlin Road in Liverpool. In 1961 different tapes from
these sessions were given to their friends in Hamburg, Hans Walther
Braun and Astrid Kirchherr. In the late 70's Frank Dostal borrowed
both original tapes and spliced them together in the Teldec studio on
Heussweg is Hamburg. He made three copies, one for Hans Walther
Braun, one for Astrid Kirchherr and one for himself.

In April 1988 some tracks of one of these copies were released on the
German LP "The Quarrymen At Home". Soon later most of the other
tracks were released on a Dutch double LP called "John, Paul, George
and Stu - Liverpool May 1960". The final missing vocal track "The
World Is Waiting For The Sunrise" finally made it on Belmo's "Happy
Christmas" single in 1991. All future CD releases were lifted from
these sets which unfortunately were heavily compressed and edited.
Even the official "Anthology Vol.1" double CD has the reverb and echo
that was added to the tape in 1988! So it's not copied from the
source tape but from the vinyl bootleg.

For the first time now you have the chance to listen to the material
lifted from the original source tape. To be honest, there are still
some little snippets missing but many tracks are one or two seconds
longer than on any previous release and one song for the first time
ever could be heard in it's entirely: "Well Darling" on all previous
releases was shortened from the original 5'06" to about 2'30" or
3'30". Here it is in full length without any fades or edits!

What's left? Beware of the so-called "1969 acetate". It was made in
early 1988 by the same guys who originally did "The Quarrymen At
Home" LP. Now relax, float downstream and enjoy the Beatals as
nature intended!
