Since this was all ten years ago now, can't somebody please share some of the more interesting ones here? The Essential Beatles would be a great start! 8-)

I second this plea. :-)
These were first shared via a torrent I'd uploaded: a search on https://bt4g.org/ will help you find that.

If you don't do torrents, then somebody who downloaded from the two Gofiles links could step up to the plate and offer new links, I guess. (I know one guy who joined my board just to get these 'drops, but I haven't seen the crusty old bugger there since then... :lol: ).

I may upload a torrent for my 24 bit 48 kHz 'drop of "The Essential Beatles" at some point. I'd uploaded this 'drop "in the 'zone" eighteen months ago, or so.

Well, yeah that was a bit crap of me. But it wasn't deliberate. I just find it hard to spread myself over two boards. I will endeavour to post my uncirculating 3 hour Cavern tape on your board.

Ah, yes, that three hour tape of The Big Three cutting loose and kicking out the jams on extended versions of "Some Other Guy" and "What'd I Say", with John and Paul among the crowd. Everybody's yelling and screaming their heads off: you can hear John and Paul screaming away, at times. An amazing document that the world needs to hear...!!!

At any rate, there's four of you now...a red one, a yellow one, a green one and a blue one. You can spread yourself around like a postage stamp or a bank note... :lol:

These are still available, with the link provided by r9453 on page two: be quick, though.

This set was one of the first to feature a stereo "She's A Woman", so it was something that was prized by Beatles collectors through the vinyl/cassette era. That's why I'm putting it here: these LPs are now rare and include a rare stereo mix.

This is the 10th Anniversary Edition (details as per discogs): I've got the Melbourne - 3DB version, which I'd bought second-hand. The previous owner/s had looked after it (and I've maintained the same level of care!!).

Notes
Made in Australia by E.M.I. (Australia) Limited

In February of 1973, ten years and three years after, respectively, the release of the Beatles' first and last albums, a group of affiliated radio stations across Australia sponsored the release of an LP which packaged together the previously released compilations, Greatest Hits Volume 1 & Greatest Hits Volume 2 as, The Beatles Greatest Hits Volumes One And Two (The Beatles' Australian 10th Anniversary 1963-1973). The vinyl was housed in a custom gatefold sleeve, to which was attached a gold sticker bearing the name of the radio station which was promoting the album in a particular Australian State or Territory. While there was no new content, or new mixes of old content, on the album, the labels eschewed the orange hue that characterised contemporary Beatles releases in favour of a more subdued lilac/purple colour; not a particularly earth-shattering variation perhaps but one which undeniably adds to the unique character of the Australian Beatles labelography. The album was available for only two or so months.

The stations involved were:

Sydney - 2UE
Newcastle - 2KO
Melbourne - 3DB
Brisbane - 4BK
Adelaide - 5AD
Perth - 6PR
Hobart - 7HT
Launceston - 7EX
