Universal Music launched Friday "The Beatles: Live At The Hollywood Bowl," an album that includes long out-of-print material from the three sold-out concerts the band held in Los Angeles between 1964 and 1965.
The new album hit the market in advance of the Sept. 15 premiere of Ron Howard's anticipated documentary on the Liverpudlian quartet's early years, "The Beatles: Eight Days A Week - The Touring Years."
Although the title "The Beatles: Live At The Hollywood Bowl" makes reference to the discontinued 1977 album of the same name, according to the publisher, this year's edition marks a "completely new release" of the material retrieved from the three original concert tapes.
Grammy-winning producer Giles Martin and sound engineer Sam Okell were in charge of remixing and remastering the Fab Four's timeless classics, which during the live performances were nearly drowned out by the fans' deafening shrieks of enthusiasm.
This new release includes four never-before-published tracks from those jam-packed concerts: "You Can't Do That," "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "Everybody's Trying to Be my Baby" and "Baby's in Black."
The Beatles debuted their first studio album, titled "Please Please Me," in 1963; in the years leading up to the memorable Hollywood Bowl concerts, they put out legendary albums such as "With the Beatles" (1963), "A Hard Day's Night" (1964), "Beatles for Sale" (1964), "Help!" (1965) and "Rubber Soul" (1965).
