THE BEATLES
Artifacts I [Big Music Co. 1993,  5CD]
Outtakes and other rarities. Very good soundboard. 
Artifacts I and II are each five-CD box sets which predated  the official “
Anthology” releases and, of course, some of these tracks were  later 
released officially. As for the other tracks in these sets, some songs may  have 
appeared on “Anthology 1″, “Anthology 2″, “Anthology 3″ and “Live at The  
BBC”, but NOT these specific takes, mixes or edits. In its original form,  
Artifacts I presented a very poor sounding source for the eight-minute version 
 of  “It’s All Too Much”, but I have inserted a full-fidelity source taken 
 from the original Japanese pressing of “Secret Songs in Pepperland”. -  
Philip Cohen 
Music critic Bruce Eder wrote in the All Music Guide: “One strongly 
suspects  that the existence of this five-CD box, in tandem with a handful of other 
 packages of this type, was largely responsible for getting Paul McCartney 
(and  others) to take a serious look at what was in EMI’s vaults, resulting 
in the  release of the Beatles’ Anthology series. 
“In 1993, however, this was the only game in town: 124 choice outtakes, 
live  concert tracks, demos, overdub sessions, and rehearsals covering the group
’s  known recordings from 1958 through 1970 - it’s essentially a best-of 
the  Beatles’ unauthorized output, from what were then the best-known sources 
of  every track represented. 
The motto of “Big Music,” whoever they were, was “Ain’t No Limits,” and 
they  proved it on most of this set, which generally showed excellent 
selections and  superb tape research, a true rarity for bootleg releases, 
especially on this  scale - up to this time, the usual assumption by almost any 
producer had been  that, with a box like this, people would accept quantity in 
lieu of quality, but  on Artifacts there was no compromise of that type.” 
Thanks to Phil for sharing the tracks. 
Note: A longtime music fan, Philip Cohen was a contributor to the  
now-defunct ICE Magazine and compiled the boxsets for The Yardbirds, The Small  
Faces, Humble Pie and Nice.
