Move over, Ms L!

Hi all, wondering why you are looking at this jumbled up page? This is due to the fact that Facebook didn't like our url since it starts with wog, so we have been forced to move the blog. This was some time ago, and we have placed a script which would automatically send you to our new location. Obviously, this hasn't worked for all of you, since we have just finished moderating some of your comments which appeared on this site recently, and not on our new (and improved!) site. So what we're saying is head on over to our new site, and update your bookmarks!

Bootleg Recordings 1963 - on vinyl

From Sapple Records
The Beatles – Bootleg Recordings – The Copyright Extension release is now out as a vinyl bootleg. The release consists of 4 LPs on 180 gram virgin vinyl with a 40-pages booklet including rare photos. Which goes to show that if Apple can't do it, the bootleggers are ready! This is a limited edition of 500 numbered packages, and also includes a 2-disc CD version. And don't call them Dutch imports, as far as WogBlog can tell, these bootlegs originate from Spain.

A case of beating the bootleg beaters. Uh...yeah. While I'm sure the sound quality (from Apple) is minutely marvelous, why would a hardcore buy this when they've already heard these (studio outtakes) to death?

Question: Those of you who downloaded these tracks from iTunes - how many times have you actually played them?

What really galls me is the inclusion of BBC material. In November, Apple/EMI issued a new 2CD set. Respect. One month later, they drop an additional 42 tracks on iTunes. Why not a 4CD box set? Why not another 2CD set a year from now?

After years of waiting for official outtakes from "The Beatles"(TM), they are dispensed into the marketplace with a carelessness that borders on disrespect.
