The Beatles Sessions, an unreleased album from 1984, re-imagined and expanded

This is a re-imagined and expanded mix of a proposed 1984 Beatles compilation album of various session & demo recordings, out-takes and alternate versions. "Sessions" was planned by EMI, but never released because of objections by the surviving Beatles. Almost all these tracks were later released as part of the "Anthology" series in 1995 and 1996. More info at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sessions_(Beatles_album)

At the end of this mix I have added an unusual surprise. South African band The Settlers released their version of "I Want To Hold Your Hand" as a single in 1964. On the b-side was a Beatles tribute song, "What About The Beatles" which I have included as a bonus. Read more about The Settlers at: http://www.rock.co.za/legends/60s/settlers_index.htm
