Post Description

we gaan naar dag 10.
The Fab4 is verhuisd van het kille Twickenham gebeuren 
naar hun eigen Apple Studio.. en Billy Preston komt samen met George mee om de boel een beetje op te vrolijken 

For those not familiar with the Get Back Sessions, here"s a little background:
The sessions began Jan 2nd-15th, 1969 at Twickenham Film Studios in London, 
then continued at Apple Studios Jan 21st-31st, 1969.
There was no "proper" recording done at Twickenham, but The majority of the sessions 
at both locations was captured by the film sound crew, on 2 Nagra Tape Machines.
One was assigned to Camera A, the other to Camera B.
The 2 machines were generally running at the same time, so both the A rolls and B rolls 
have a lot of duplication between them. But each set of rolls also has a lot of material 
that was unique. Each roll of tape lasted approximately 16 minutes. 
Often when The A Roll would run out, The B Roll would continue, while 
Reels were Changed on the other machine (and vice-versa).
Thus, it is often possible to edit the 2 sets of rolls together, creating Uninterrupted 
rehearsal segments, some lasting 3 hours or more.
Some segments last only a few seconds, due to the start/stop action 
of the cameras or sound crew.
More information is available in Doug Sulpy"s Excellent Book,
"The 910"s Guide To The Beatles Outtakes Part Two: The Complete get Back Sessions."
(The Numbers after each track above refer to this book)

All of the "Available" Get Back material from these Nagra Reels fills about 127 discs.
But again, there is quite a bit of duplication between the A rolls and B rolls
This collection edits together all of the available recordings, 
in their proper order, without duplication. So 127 discs will be pruned down by about 1/3. 
It is a massive and painstaking undertaking.

Sound Quality is excellent throughout. Bits and pieces of lesser quality have been 
patched in from lower quality (bootleg) sources when the original tapes 
were missing or unavailable. (Some 40 Rolls out of over 500 are known to be 
"missing" from the sessions, 
but a few fragments from some of these rolls have cropped up on various boots.)
But the edits are very smooth, and on the whole, quite listenable, considering the material.
