Welcome to the last offering from The Beatles Rarity in 2011. Two years ago on Dec. 28, 2009, I featured George Harrison’s “Ding Dong, Ding Dong” in demo form as a BROW (Beatles Rarity of the Week), which you can catch here. I also mentioned it on last week’s VOW (Video of the Week), and [...]

Beatles Rarity Of The Week – Please Please Me (live on BBC, missing on ’1′)
Welcome to the Beatles Rarity Of The Week. Back in September, The Beatles 1 CD, originally released in 2000, was reissued using the recently completed 2009 remastered versions of each track.

To this day, I am not aware of any EPK or DVD release by Apple that [...]
