BACK, FROM THE USSR




Collective, comrades!




Many Beatle fans know by now that the Rooskies just love their
Fabs to death.
-
We have learned from several documentaries and books about just
how important the lads were in helping to subvert the top Commies, and bring down the USSR.
-
And what we also are coming to know, now, is that Russians have in their possession some of the best bootleg Beatles.
-
In the past few years, the ex-Leninist lot have dined off Lennon and the boys, knocking off pretty decent counterfeits of all the US
Capitol albums, some with boot bonus tracks of some repute.
-
Most of these CDs sold for about $15.
-
And now, for the same price, comes a copy of a 1999 Vigotone boot, Another Sessions...Plus, 19 track-with some hidden stuff and two unlisted tracks-along with copious liner notes, and an original essay by Peter Mewtilate (get it?).
-
So, just because I was really bored and had nothing better to do than scan 15 or so pages, I have included all of the supplied 24
page CD booklet, which ye can pursue via a click.
-
(Interesting also, how big a hard-on the track annotator has for Geof Emerick!)
-
In any event, the sound quality of this disc is generally very good to
very, very good, throughout, although the spectre of "outfakes"
does sometimes come to mind, and ear.
-
Nevertheless, there are some very interesting songs on this
collection.
-
Recommended, highly.
