Il y a quelques seamines de cela, Itunes créait l’événement, en publiant sur sa plateforme une cinquantaine de chansons qualifiées de rares des Beatles, et cela, officieusement, pour prolonger la durée du copyright de ces chansons, qui allaient tomber dans le domaine public. Même si cette nouvelle a fait plaisir à bien des fans des Beatles, enregistrés sur Itunes, certains autres par contre, n’ont que très peu apprécié cette démarche.. C’est ainsi que des fans des Beatles, originaires du Japon, ont décidé de reprendre toutes les chansons du projet Itunes « Bootleg Recordings 1963 » et de les publier sous la forme d’un CD Digipack…. naturellement non officiel.
Voici pour rappel, les titres présents sur cet album :
