Released November 8, 2013. Nearly 20 years after the first Live at the BBC album, The Beatles are back with another collection of material recorded live for radio broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corporation. On Air – Live At The BBC Volume 2 contains 40 musical performances, 37 of them never before issued by the BBC, EMI, Apple or Capitol (the first volume had 56 songs, 30 of them previously unreleased). Between the songs are 19 short clips of banter among the boys. These interpolations give you an experience very much like the one you would have had listening to the programs on the radio. You are a witness to the birth of British Beatlemania. Buddy Holly’s “Words of Love†sounds quite different without the lush reverb applied to Lennon and McCartney’s vocals on the album version. George Harrison barrels through “Do You Want to Know a Secret?†at a faster clip than usual. “Please Please Me†and “Chains†both lack Lennon’s trademark harmonica licks. “And I Love Her†has a heavier feel, with Harrison playing electric lead instead of the more delicate album track’s acoustic. Paul McCartney rock out on “Beautiful Dreamer†and Lennon take the lead on Chuck Berry’s “I’m Talking About You.†Of the non-album tracks that make repeat appearances, “The Hippy Hippy Shake†is tighter and harder-rocking than the version selected for volume one. One of the very best alternate versions is of Ray Charles’ “I Got a Woman.†The whole feel of this version is different than the one on the ’94 album. On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2 offers another chance to revel in the greatness of the early Beatles.
