Very interesting article, thanks. Good research. It's amazing that we still have Beatle mysteries to enjoy and possibilities of missing recordings reappearing at some point. There's also the single sided 7 inch disc of, 'One After 909' that John, Paul and George made at Percy Phillips' studio in 1960. Let's hope we get to hear them all eventually.

I wish I could believe that you would happen to find the "One After 909" somewhere, but I know realistically that's wouldn't be the case... Ha!

It's so fascinating yet so odd that not even one copy has been located after all this time. It would be really interesting to hear, plus the historical value.

I think Paul has all the missing items. Ha!

He probably does.

The thing I most want to hear is an actual SET from those days. But of the stuff that we *know* was recorded and in theory might still exist somewhere out there, this is probably the #1 wish. I'm certainly far more interested in hearing it than I am in Carnival of Light, for example (not that I'd turn that down).

I suspect that they aren't actually all that good, in an objective sense. But it would be fascinating to hear anyway.

I agree. I love hearing old rehearsal tapes, unreleased things, and whatnot. And I don't care too much about the quality. Low-fi can be fun!
