File:The Beatles - Get Back Sessions (full album)

In January 1969, about half a year before the recording sessions for Abbey Road, The Beatles got together with a documentarian to record their process of writing a new album, called Get Back, which was a slight statement that they were getting back to their roots, writing music they could actually perform live. The whole event would climax with a concert at an undecided venue, that eventually ended up being the rooftop concert.

This was among the worst months of the entire Beatles career, as the band was on the verge of breaking up, dealing with divorce and drug abuse, and an overall lack of artistic drive. The cameras were rolling through much of this time, on A and B reels. Eventually, somehow, the A and B reels got into the hands of collectors, and the bootleg record label Purple Chick painstakingly went through the reels, combining the A and B to create a true stereo mix of most of the footage collected. The set was released on 83 discs, just under 100 hours of material ranging from dialog to jokes to practicing new songs to renditions of old classics.

This is a compilation of some of the best material during that month, which is predominantly The Beatles performing classic rock and blues numbers. There were thousands of songs, many partial, recorded during the Get Back Sessions, so certainly this mix might have overlooked some goodies, but in general, you get the only full band renditions of Across the Universe and All Things Must Pass, a great unreleased number by Lennon, Watching Rainbows, alternate versions of Abbey Road songs like Maxwell's Silver Hammer, I Want You and Her Majesty, and members demoing songs that would end up on their solo albums, and plenty more.

This release is to celebrate the documentary series that is being compiled by Peter Jackson called Get Back, which finally after more than 50 years they are taking all the footage accumulated in January 1969 and turning it into a film. This release is also to celebrate (early though it may be) my Mom's 60th birthday. Let it Be was one of her favorite albums growing up, and now she can hear all the other nonsense The Beatles recorded during those sessions!

About the blashco music archive: over the years I have collected much music, some of which, surprisingly is not available online for streaming or purchase. There is no need for these lovely songs to collect digital dust on a personal hard drive, so I have packaged them into full album videos!
