The Usenet Guide to Beatles Recording Variations

Joe Brennan kicked off his labour of love waaay back in the early 90's. It's roots being found in the rec.music.beatles usenet forum when users were comparing variants from around the world etc.

In more recent years it has been updated by Frank Daniels of 'Across the Universe' fame.

Since 2016 on I have maintained my own local copy and hopefully managed to snag all the more recent variations etc.

Anyhow, it accounts for approx 1650+ varying tracks, mono, stereo, overseas, remix, edits and so on. I will endeavour to upload a year or group of years each day until the set is exhausted.

It's around 33GB in total so I will leave it up for a couple of weeks, thereafter you will need to help one another. Corrections and suggestions for missed edits welcome.

Enjoy.

Anyone want to take Frank Daniels' stuff and put it in one big PDF?

The pdf's are mine created to indicate the source of each variant I have used in compiling the tracks. Identifying the variants was largely Joe and Frank.
