THE BEATLES
Get Back: The Elektra Acetate [Helter Skelter Records HSR025, 1CD]
Outtakes, unreleased mixes.

This is the Helter Skelter Records’ upgrade to the recently-released
Untouched - Off Elektra Acetate set.

Thanks to helterskelterrecords for sharing the tracks at Demonoid.
These are helterskelterrecords’ comments:

[The Elektra] acetate features the same stereo mixes that were
famously broadcast on US Radio in 1969, this later leading to the
bootlegs ‘WBCN Get Back Reference Acetate’ (Yellow Dog) and ‘Posters,
Incense and Strobe Candle’ (Vigotone). Both of these discs had their
problems, noise reduction for one, seriously damaging the high
frequencies, and also some pretty bad low frequency hum. But this new
source blows the others out of the water. The problem with this new
Elektra Acetate, however, is that it is noisy, very noisy, suffering
all of the problems you would expect from a 50-year-old acetate.

For this release, unlike others floating around, I have not used any
noise reduction, but instead painstakingly de-clicked, de-popped, and
de-crackled each track one-by-one, putting the integrity of the music
above anything else - leaving what should be a very enjoyable listen,
of what is a very important historical recording. I have also added
all of the stereo elements that were missing from this acetate from
the Yellow Dog disc (only a section of dialogue), some tracks are
available in longer form in mono with extra studio chat, but I did not
want to mix stereo and mono here, this is simply stereo only. I also
took the liberty of pitch, phase and level correcting this disc, as
well as un-doing the peak limiting applied to the original disc.

Any idea why track 12 has been omitted?

[Scouse the mouse]

They omit recordings that are available on commercial releases -- in
this case, Anthology 3.
