No actual CD release? That would be disappointing, considering the quality of an mp3 download.
Official bootlegs coming!
The Beatles are set to "Beat the Boots" by releasing their own bootleg
series as downloads on iTunes. The first set of recordings will be made
available on 17. December. More than 2 hours' worth of music will appear

outtakes from the albums, BBC recordings and a couple of demos. Here's
