Unreleased Beatles songs showcased on Apple Jam's upcoming CD "Off the Beatle Track"
Apple Jam's upcoming CD titled "Off the Beatle Track" showcases early Lennon/McCartney compositions released by others, but never by the Beatles while they were together. Instead, the songs were given to British contemporaries like Billy J. Kramer, Cilla Black, and Peter & Gordon. These artists in turn produced a sizable body of hits, including "Bad to Me", "A World Without Love", and "I'll Be on My Way" - proving the quality and timeless nature of the Beatles songwriting and music. Interestingly, the Beatles first considered titling their debut album "Off the Beatle Track", but later decided on "Please Please Me".
"Off the Beatle Track" was recorded at the legendary Robert Lang Studio. To hear song samples, go to https://samples.offthebeatletrack.com. The rock veterans of Apple Jam have embodied each track with an authentic Beatles sound, as if the Liverpool lads had released these songs themselves circa 1963. "We are using the same microphones, gear, and studio techniques of the period to make the album sound just like an early Beatles record," says Rick Lovrovich, Apple Jam's founding member.
"Off the Beatle Track" is slated for commercial release 09-09-09. The 15 songs contained on this CD include: "I'll Keep You Satisfied", "I Don't Want to See You Again", "Like Dreamers Do", "You Know What to Do", "Bad to Me", "It's for You", "I'm in Love", "I'll Be On My Way", "Hello Little Girl", "A World Without Love", "Tip of My Tongue", "From a Window", "Nobody I Know", "Love of the Loved", and "One and One is Two". Apple Jam will perform all of these songs at the Triple Door in Seattle on August 7th and the Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool on August 31st.
International Beatle Week August 2009 in Liverpool
International Beatle Week has been staged for over 20 years and is the biggest Beatle celebration in the world, attracting more than 300,000 fans every year. Apple Jam and Alan White of Yes have been invited to headline International Beatle Week 2009 in Liverpool, performing multiple shows August 28-31.
