THE BEATLES STORY. BBC RADIO SPECIAL 1973 - 14 PARTS

[Jens Terje]

Many thanks for your kind share, bobzilla!

Mine is obviously the trimmed American version:

'The is the first extensive BBC Radio documentary on The Beatles and was assembled in the winter of 1971-1972. Produced by Johnny Beerling and hosted by BRian Matthew it was aired on BBC Radio One on Sunday nights at 5pm from May through August 1972.

Later in 1972, the series was sold to the U.S. for syndication.The U.S. version trimmed each episode to make room for commercials. The original BBC broadcasts were 55 minutes but, as described by the auction below, these reels are 46 minutes long. So this must be the U.S. version.'

CDRTRADE did share here or on BZ a few years ago the original Wavelength vinyl discs (boxset x 13) of the
'as broadcast in 1973' series issued before the episode lengths were later expanded and what usually circulates nowadays.i think I still have notes of the differences somewhere.
