JOHN BARRETT NOTES: |
Also recorded this day (from the John Barrett notes):
This is the only reel recorded this day.
This appears to be the master multi-track tape for the recording of The Beatles' 23 August 1964 concert at this venue. At some point, a section of leader tape was inserted into the center of the reel to divide it into two segments for an LP. This reel remained in the possession of Capitol Records until mod 1969 when it was finally sent to the E.M.I. archives.
Note the notation "AR1453". This would appear to reference another reel of tape. John Barrett logs reel AR1454 as the original 27 August 1964 stereo mix and it is commonly believed that the available mono copies are simply the stereo mix folded to mono.
Did Barrett simply write the wrong digit or might AR1453 be a mono mix?
