The Beatles - Rock Band - The Mixes Vol 1 (Disc 1) EAC-FLAC

This is a bootleg collection of Beatles tracks used in the Rock Band game. The entire collection consists of two volumes with two discs in each volume. Presented here is Volume One, Disc One. I picked up both volumes on eBay sometime during the summer of 2010 for about $50. They are still available on eBay from the U.S. as of this writing (December 2011). But then again, why are you here?

The most striking thing about the Beatles Rock Band mixes are the lead ins and fade outs to the songs. Most songs start with a strong three or four count or with studio chatter and then a starting count. No fade in on a song like Eight Days a Week and no fade out on Day Tripper. Between the starts and stops the songs are basically the original studio mixes. As expected, the sound is excellent and was ripped into a flac format using EAC.

About the discs themselves. They are silver backed, not blue and are packaged very nicely in glossy gatefold sleeves on quality paper with artwork and liner notes that consist of an interview with Harmonix CEO and co-founder Alex Rigopulos and Creative Producer and Music Supervisor, Giles Martin. They were the developers for the tracks included on the Beatles Rock Band game. It even has the large Apple Records logo on the inner sleeves as well as the CD label. Small Capitols Records logos are found on the CD label and on the back covers of each gatefold. Not a bad offering for a bootleg. Very nice.

The CD used here is a Roaring Mouse copy and is numbered DPRO RM82697(a).

As mentioned previously, this is a bootleg as I am sure most of you would have determined. I dont believe that anyone at Harmonix Music Systems, Ltd (creators of Rock Band) or any other music label has every officially released Beatles Rock Band versions of songs used in the game. If so, it may have been for promotional purposes only or on a very limited basis. Please feel free to add any more information that I may have missed. Enjoy!
