A new companion to The Beatles\u2019 first BBC collection, On Air \u2013 Live at the BBC Volume 2, will be released Monday, November 11 in 2CD and 180-gram vinyl packages with a 48-page booklet. On Air\u2019s 63 tracks, none of which overlaps with The Beatles\u2019 first BBC release, include 37 previously unreleased performances and 23 previously unreleased recordings of in-studio banter and conversation between the band\u2019s members and their BBC radio hosts. \r\rIn the studios of the British Broadcasting Corporation, The Beatles performed music for a variety of radio shows. On Air - Live at the BBC Volume 2 presents the sound of The Beatles seizing their moment to play for the nation. Thrilled to hear these exciting recordings again, Paul McCartney said, \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of energy and spirit. We are going for it, not holding back at all, trying to put in the best performance of our lifetimes.\u201d\r\rTen of On Air\u2019s songs were never recorded by the group for EMI in the 1960s, including two making their debuts with the new release: The Beatles\u2019 direct-to-air performance of Chuck Berry\u2019s \u201cI\u2019m Talking About You\u201d and a rocking cover of the standard \u201cBeautiful Dreamer.\u201d On Air also includes different versions of six rarities heard on the 1994 BBC collection: Little Richard\u2019s \u201cLucille,\u201d Chuck Berry\u2019s \u201cMemphis, Tennessee,\u201d Chan Romero\u2019s \u201cThe Hippy Hippy Shake,\u201d Ray Charles\u2019 \u201cI Got A Woman,\u201d and two songs they learned from records by Carl Perkins, \u201cGlad All Over\u201d and \u201cSure To Fall.\u201d\r\rThe Beatles\u2019 tribute to the BBC\u2019s most important pop show of the early \u201960s \u2013 \u201cHappy Birthday, Dear Saturday Club\u201d \u2013 is another surprise. As John Lennon recalled in 1980, \u201cWe did a lot of tracks that were never on record for Saturday Club \u2013 they were well recorded, too.\u201d Paul remembers, \u201cWe\u2019d been raised on the BBC radio programs. One of the big things in our week was Saturday Club \u2013 this great show was playing the kind of music we loved, so that was something we really aspired to.\u201d\r\rBetween March 1962 and June 1965, no fewer than 275 unique musical performances by The Beatles were broadcast by the BBC in the U.K. The group played songs on 39 radio shows in 1963 alone. Ringo Starr said in 1994, \u201cYou tend to forget that we were a working band. It\u2019s that mono sound. There were usually no overdubs. We were in at the count-in and that was it. I get excited listening to them.\u201d On their busiest BBC day, July 16, 1963, The Beatles recorded 18 songs for three editions of their Pop Go The Beatles series in fewer than seven hours. \r\rThe group played 88 distinct songs in their BBC sessions \u2013 some were recorded many times; others performed just once. At the time, three national BBC stations provided all daytime radio broadcasting in the U.K. Only the Light Programme network might occasionally play a record. Most broadcast music was live music. Consequently, to promote their releases, The Beatles had to play live at the BBC. \u201cEverything was done instantly,\u201d remembered George Harrison, \u201cBut before that, we used to drive 200 miles in an old van down the M1, come into London, try and find the BBC and then set up and do the program. Then we\u2019d probably drive back to Newcastle for a gig in the evening!\u201d\r\rOn Air also features BBC recordings of 30 well-loved songs from The Beatles\u2019 catalogue, including five number ones and other favorites such as: \u201cI Saw Her Standing There,\u201d \u201cTwist And Shout,\u201d \u201cDo You Want To Know A Secret,\u201d \u201cBoys,\u201d \u201cPlease Mister Postman,\u201d \u201cMoney,\u201d \u201cAnd I Love Her,\u201d and \u201cIf I Fell.\u201d \r\rLike its critically acclaimed predecessor, On Air - Live at the BBC Volume 2 includes audio of The Beatles talking to DJs Brian Matthew and Alan Freeman and Pop Go The Beatles hosts Lee Peters and Rodney Burke. When first broadcast, pop fans were amazed to hear such witty irreverence on the rather formal BBC and it is great fun to hear these extracts now. In addition, On Air releases, for the first time, the group\u2019s candid interviews for the Pop Profile series recorded in November 1965 and May 1966. \r\rNewly remastered for reissue on November 11, The Beatles\u2019 first Live at the BBC album sounds and looks better than ever. This collection of the group\u2019s BBC sessions mixed versions of their hits with a treasure trove of 30 songs The Beatles performed on air but never released on record in the 1960s. The compelling track list ranged from a rare performance of the little known Lennon-McCartney original \u201cI\u2019ll Be On My Way\u201d to covers of classic rock \u2019n\u2019 roll and contemporary rhythm and blues songs. At the time of its release, Live at the BBC was hailed by Rolling Stone as \u201can exhilarating portrait of a band in the process of shaping its own voice and vision.\u201d It earned a GRAMMY\xae Award nomination for Best Historical Album. \r\rLive at the BBC Volume Two was compiled and researched by producers Kevin Howlett and Mike Heatley. The album has been meticulously mastered by engineers Guy Massey and Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios. The booklet includes Kevin Howlett\u2019s essays on the history of The Beatles\u2019 BBC radio sessions and his detailed commentaries on all of the tracks.Disc 11.
