File:The Beatles - Fading Image 1 - Scraps

Fading Image 1 - Scraps: Volume 1 contains a wide variety of short recordings by The Beatles in a long, but fast paced montage.

The Fading Image series is a collection of Beatles recordings from the January 1969 Get Back sessions for the film "Let It Be", in which the Beatles were recorded and filmed every day for almost a full month. Red Hector, a life long Beatles fan, decided to listen to all 97 hours from various existing collections and compile a deeper level of interesting material beyond what was already put on the Let It Be and Anthology albums. Audio and mastering software was also used to selectively edit, compress, normalize volume, reduce noise and background speaking voices, and even add a few ambient or reverb effects. (Not quite to the Phil Spector level) The result is a very clear sound that makes these outtakes, covers, alternative versions, improvisations, and other hidden gems much more listenable.

Hopefully Apple will someday release the Let It Be Film, with many of these as DVD/Bluray extras, since most are sourced from film + audio. Beatles fans deserve more than the smattering of recordings from this period beyond Anthology and Let It Be Naked. For now this is Red Hector's personally biased and altered "Fly On The Wall" collection that spans 6 volumes.
