The story was revealed a few years ago by journalist David Fricke of Rolling Stone: In 2003 spools stolen in London containing audio tapes. English and Dutch researchers are the case for a couple of years as the stolen material was a long way.
It was a robbery in London and a booty that is taken to Amsterdam and closely guarded in a warehouse.
When the Dutch police came upon the material, arrested several people accused of theft and possession of "illegally acquired material."
reels were 500 in total and soon to be returned to their original owners, the news came out in Rolling Stone's article Fricke revealed the contents of the tapes, which were neither more nor less than all of the trials that The Beatles performed for the entire month of January 1969 between the Twickenham Film Studios and the - at that time - just released Apple Records studios, located at street number 3 Savile Row in London.
So what's happening in these recordings? Well, maybe I
worst of a band that was reborn and dying at the same time.
The sound recorded on the tapes is excellent at times and other details are lost to the ambient sound, of course, were recording live audio recorder Nagra mono brand, then synchronizing the sound would be published shortly in those moments of despair and boredom, where none of the other three Beatles had real desire to continue with that, or the TV documentary that McCartney had bespoken and would issue the BBC, nor the disk were to take as the soundtrack of the documentary, and that both would be called Get Back .
None of that was what happened, but the penultimate album of the band Abbey Road came forward and was released material before the Beatles recorded during January of '69 in those rough session recording. Are there registration
all this in a "bootleg"?
Yes, there since 1974, with the release of one of the first bootleg of the Beatles: Sweet Apple Tracks there, some of the content of the "Nagra Tapes "was unveiled.
Later, in decades of the cd, there appeared several bootleg in that format, with other parts of the recorded material.

recently has left a box set called: Thirty Days and is edited by Vigotone, a specialist label of the Beatles Bootlegs.
is a collection of 16 CDs with all the recordings in January of '69, and adding a disquito more with the first compilation producer Glyn Johns who taught the Beatles and that they rejected, and a second well, (it is not included, but Vigotone was compiled in another double cd: The Glyn Johns Final Compilation) Both rejection
Johns made to abandon the project forever being acetates and tapes left in EMI.
then released first Abbey Road, while deciding what to do with all that material.
The three Beatles, minus Paul entrusted the tapes to Phil "Convicted" Spector, who apparently cut his hands and carried out the mix and selection with the stumps.
Because the result could not be less satisfactory, choirs, wall of sound everywhere ballroom orchestrations, all in the service of the disc would be a return to the sources of the world's biggest band .
However, what was the material recorded in January 1969 was the album Let It Be , the posthumous work of the Beatles, written the epitaph on the tomb cheap cardboard, as defined in At launch the English music paper New Musical Express.
Nobody was satisfied with that record, or the indolence of John that called it "The fuck largest ever recorded" or criticism of Paul, who opined that the work done by Spector was "butcher." The others were already in another: George, you can edit the songs celebrating wanted, without the restrictions that put John and Paul when he had a new one, and thus he did: All Things Must Pass, his first album went triple go if he had accumulated material.
At the time Harrison said in an interview: "It's like being constipated long time and suddenly have diarrhea." Marche a metaphor, and Ringo recording standars of its artists favorite.
The Nagra tape recorder to the Beatles show at a time when Paul was only wearing the shoulder belt.
dialogues are heard at times of great personal stress, as McCartney telling Harrison, " Dude, you're a guy full of shit ... " and niceties like that.
But there are glorious moments in the library Thirty Days, and are when Zapan old Beatles hits of rock and roll or Paul revisits 'm So Tired, including Lennon's song on the white album, there are a lot of music and good floating between both suit and bad wave. In others, it seems The Beatles went to study obligation: Lennon declared in a report in 1971: "I felt like I was going to work, go to the 8, 10 am to the warehouse, frozen, those damn colored lights, who can be inspired as well ... "
When hum his old hits, joke with them, stress is not perceived. Back to being the best doing what they do best: pure Rock and Roll.
In January 1969 the four practically not on speaking terms, the project Apple succumbed miserably, spoke more than their respective attorneys and accountants who between them.
So there will always be to highlight the professionalism of these four musicians in dire personal and economic relations were held to create the masterpiece Abbey Road , leaving aside all this material, which they were just sketches unprintable .
few years ago when they released the unnecessary Let It Be Naked, the "Nagra Tapes" would serve to complement the global launch of the film Let It Be on DVD, but all was for another time. When Yoko Ono asked what the fate of the tapes said. "Unless we do something with this material will end up coming in bootlegs ".
How prophetic this Yoko.
