I have a query - you list the source with code letters, which are generally easy to understand - CD = compact disc, SDE = super deluxe edition. But a couple I'm struggling with - DD = digital download? and I can't think what BD is (as in, 1966 Rain e1). Could you clarify any of these, or is there a key?

Thanks again for your hard work.

EDIT: BD = bonus disc, I think. Seems to only appear with tracks from "1".
BD = Bluray
DD = Digital Download (could be a vinyl rip or a digital file from the outset, like the Love extras)
CD = Compact Disc
SDE = Super Deluxe Edition
LP
Sgl
CDS = CD Single

I think that's most of em

I didn't see in the 1963 folder the Mono Mix made by VeeJay of I Saw Her Standing There with the "1 2 3" is cut off from the beginning.
Can this mix be included or is it irrelevant?
Thank you very much.
I would say no, it's not a unique mix. It's sloppy mastering job by the VeeJay engineer.

Norm Deplume,
Thank you very much for your explanations.
Sorry I missed this earlier, i too concur, it's a mastering issue

Dial222,

I am also having trouble downloading the 1969 files. I have tried downloading 3 times all in one folder with errors like above using both winrar & 7-zip.

Could you possibly split up the large 1969 files into 2 or 3 downloads to avoid downloading errors please?

Great job on these, Rog

Will be uploading 1969 again as 6 individual zips with up to 50 tracks each.

Pt 1 of 6 uploading. Once all 6 are up I will remove the existing multipart zip for 1969

I had problems with it also for the 1969 folder. I then downloaded each ZIP files one by one in my main Download folder. Then I opened zip.001 and voila, it unzipped the whole kit perfectly.

If you download the whole Google drive folder it will zip the zips and do a mashup.

Thanks for making this available.

The pdf for 1969 is curiously missing 186 and 187, the Aus and NZ versions,
though the flac are in the zip file.

Thought you might like to know.

I must have forgotten to check a tick box in the database

I'll rectify that along with any other observations that may come forth.

I'd like to add my thanks for your great post and all the effort that must have gone into this! Haven't yet figured out how to get the 1969 to unpack but I will!
