so many bootlegs. like 'Kum Back', 'Thirty Days With Don't Let Me Down
And 187 Other SOngs', etc. etc. etc. just too many too mention. I'd like
to now which is the best and most complete!

Why do you come in here and ask us to participate in crime? Bootlegs
are illegal, the last I heard.

All of the existing A and B* Nagra rolls are available on Yellow Dog's
"Day by Day" series (for the A) and Unicorn's "Camera B Rolls" (for B),
plus various offshoots. Folks have created their own merging of the two
Nagra tapes when one ran out and the other began.

* There are some isolated B rolls that couldn't be located in these
more recent collections, but they turn up in the earlier "Journals"
set.

The 8-tracks are more elusive; the Glyn Johns mixes only have turned
up. Although one can hear playback of many 8-track sessions via Nagra
captures in the control room.

"Thirty Days" has nothing but complete performances and serious
run-throughs, with none of the aimless, off-microphone chatter, pointless
noodling and endless tune-ups. For that reason alone, it's by far the most
listenable bootleg from those sessions, and it also offers uniformly
excellent sound. It's also fairly complete in terms of the actual music
performances. I'm not a hige fan of those sessions, but I really enjoy
"Thirt Days."

A public domain bootleg label called Purple Dog has combined all of
the A and B Nagra rolls (which after the first day were recorded in
mono using the same mikes -- thus there is no difference in the A & B
rolls other than the fact that they were staggered -- that is, the B
rolls would catch whatever was going on whenever the A roll tapes
needed to be changes and vice-versa).

The Purple Dog set (which is available for free and is posted quite
regularly in the newsgroup alt.binaries.beatles) has the most complete
seamless Nagra tapes available. Because the A & B rolls have been
seamlessly combined by Purple Dog, it makes for a very pleasant and
coherent listening experience.

If you want to collect the Purple Dog Nagra CD's, (there are a total
of 76 of them) , I'd go over to alt.binaries.beatles and beg for
someone to repost them in lossless format.

You can get more details about this set at the following web address:

The set is called A/B Road.
Very nice.

Not only have they been posted in alt.binaries.beatles,
but they've been posted in lossless format

And, as was alluded to,
it contains not only everything from
the A Roll series and the B Roll series,
but all the extra bits extant on other sets
that were missing from the A and B series releases.

The large paperback book is a reprint of the "Get Back" book that was
included in the original UK editions of the "Let It Be" LP.
