This one is an must have for everyone interested in music history - not for Beatles fans only!
About 11 exciting hours long! The sound quality is superb! Don`t miss this rare piece - never played on radio before.

This is an UNEDITED STEREO BBC RADIO special that was produced in 1973 by the BBC in London. This radio special has now been carefully transferred to STEREO CD's from an original set of "VIRGIN" 2trk MASTER reel-to-reel tapes.

These 2trk reels are BRAND NEW old stock reels that were NEVER PLAYED ON THE AIR by any radio station. I was the 1st one to break the seal on each reel box.

The transfer was made using TASCAM pro equipt. & an ALIENWARE AREA 51 computer! The original analog "1973 STEREO SOUND" is quality preserved for future generations to enjoy. The entire special is narrated by the BBC's own BRIAN MATTHEWS.
