The Beatles- Wildcat, Cavern Rehearsals

There is a two disc version of this CD out there, but this one is edited a bit. Which really doesn't matter that much because I defy you to sit down and listen to it from start to finish. There are several jams on here that will absolutely put you to sleep. The sound quality is quite poor as well, which only adds to the annoyance.

This is not to say that this disc is not worth owning, because it is. These tapes are a fascinating look at the Beatles' early rehearsals in Liverpool. It's amazing to hear some of the early versions of songs that were later recorded at EMI (I'll Follow the Sun, One After 909, Matchbox.) Other interesting tracks like 'You'll Be Mine,' 'The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise' and 'Cayenne' have also appeared on other discs. But if you want it all, as most Beatle collectors do, don't pass this up.
