Welcome to TheBeatleSource. The focus of this site is acetates and tapes circa 1957-1970 (there are a few exceptions).
I have tried to provide as much information about as many known acetates that I can find. In addition, you will find info on various
E.M.I. master reel tapes (certainly, the holy grail of recordings), other rare tapes, test pressings, and other odds and ends.
I hope everyone will find something of interest.
I welcome further information, corrections, theories and debate.
Enjoy!
