I always thought it would be interesting to hear all the takes of all Beatles recordings in the studio, how they appear in chronological order as in Lewisohn's book. Release it on the anniversary year of The Beatles as a recording group which started 60 years ago. A 2022 - 23 release as a package deal or divide it up but do it quickly because I can't wait another 10 years. In 1962 I was nine. I'm sure they have it all digital by now unless some tapes were bad and did not survive with a lot of drop outs and they were not unable to save. I want to hear everything Mr. Lewisohn heard if possible. Had to wait 52 years for the official Get Back album! It's time to release it all!!!!

The most sensible course for them would be to do AHDN and BFS next. Why? Because there's loads of vocal outtakes, plus the demixing would basically only involve separating the drums and bass from the guitar, which is a fairly simple task at this time.
Revolver and Rubber Soul would require more sophisticated demixing and thus should be pushed to the end of the queue. Likewise, PPM and WTB present their own challenges.
But, based on current technology, albums 3 and 4 are entirely do-able.
I think there is a lot of early stuff out there bootleg and official. Several years ago I was going to spend time on what matched up to the takes Lewisohn listened to and what was available, but never took the deep dive. I might have seen a list on the old bootlegzone where somebody tried to show what was available. I think Lord Reith is right! On some of their later albums to listen to what EMI has in their vaults. The evolution of a song recorded would be a fun listen, being a fly on the wall would be most enjoyable.

If they won't remix those albums, they should just give us the outtakes like they did for the Bootleg Recordings 1963 they released on iTunes in 2013.
Problem is alot of the early takes were either lost or recorded over.
Dont think there is much left available.
If there were any good outtakes would have been put on the anthology cds
If they included a cleaned up version of that early Cavern Club show that Paul bought, the Emerick session tape and if they could find The Beatles version of ‘Tip of My Tongue’ then he’ll yes I’d buy that. I’m sure they could scrape together a few more never before heard things that would sweeten the deal. Do I believe this will happen? Unfortunately, no. But one can dream.
I think since a PPM 2009 Stereo Mix was made and also The Early Beatles Capitol Stereo LP with
centered vocals from what I read and if it's true.and I think Giles Martin can
make a 60th. stereo mix,and perhaps a 60th. Mono Mix
There should be enough takes, demos and also including the ones with Pete Best & Alan White or perhaps unreleased material we have not heard at all
to make a nice deluxe version.
The DECCA audition and The Star Club Tapes would be a nice bonus,but as we know it's very unlikely it would be included.
