The Beatles Bootleg Recordings 1963 is a compilation album of 59 recordings by The Beatles, released on 17 December 2013, exclusively through the iTunes Store,[1] initially appearing to have only been available for a few hours.[2] The album is currently available again for purchase.[3] The release was timed to extend their copyright of the recordings under E.U. law by 20 years; the E.U. protects recordings for 70 years only if they are formally released.[4][1] Officially unreleased recordings from the band's 1962 recording sessions, including outtakes from the Beatles' first single, "Love Me Do", previously entered public domain in 2012.

Composition

The Beatles Bootleg Recordings 1963 includes 15 studio outtakes and 44 live BBC tracks, which are alternate versions of those released on the albums Live at the BBC (1994) and On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2 (2013).[5] None of these selections were included in the other two compilations though, so all of these are new to the world of legitimate releases. The album also includes John Lennon's demo recordings of "Bad to Me" and "I'm in Love", later released as singles by Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas and The Fourmost, respectively.[1]

Tracks 1-14 are stereo, the remainder are mono.
