Notes
Early Beatleg is a compilation of various tracks from various sources, packaged in a plain white jacket with an 11" x 11" insert/title sheet with blue-tinted photo and Contra Band logo. Nothing on the back.
Labels are plain white with no text.
Side 1 is a mix of various songs and out-fakes similar to 'Spicy Beatles Songs' (which might have been inspired by this LP)
The tracks on side 2 were taken from the 'Renaissance Minstrels Vol.1'-LP: The Ed Sullivan versions, with echo and overdubbed screaming.
TRACK NOTES:
A1 Oct 24, 1963 before an audience for Swedish Radio Show 'Pop 63'. The studio version is edited in about half way through.
