The Beatles Live At The BBC Volume 2 To Be Released 15th November 2013

Back in 1994, fellow Beatles legends John, Paul, George and Ringo released an album Live at the BBC featuring live audio performances of their well-loved tracks. The album reached, to no surprise, the number one spot in the UK, number three in the US and sold five million copies with the first six weeks of its release.

The Beatles second BBC collection ‘On Air-Live at the BBC Volume 2’ will be available to the public on Friday 15th November 2013. The album consists of 63 performances across 2 CDs and a 180-gram vinyl package with a 48 page booklet.
The 63 tracks include 30 classic hits such as ‘I Saw Her Standing There’, ‘Twist and Shout’ and ‘Money’. However the majority of the tracks on the album have not ever been released until now, with 37 previously unreleased performances from the group and unreleased recordings of in-studio conversation between the band and the BBC radio hosts.

Paul McCartney is incredibly excited about the new album release as he comments that, “There’s a lot of energy and spirit. We are going for it, not holding back at all, trying to put in the best performance of our lifetimes.”
It is also particularly special as he states “We’d been raised on the BBC radio programs”. Between March 1962 and June 1965, there was in total 275 unique musical performances by the English rock band were broadcast by the BBC in the UK. They played on 39 radio shows in one single year in 1963. On 16th July that year, the group recorded 18 songs in 7 hours for three editions of their Pop Go The Beatles.

Listen to their popular track ‘Twist and Shout’ below.
