The Beatles 虽在半个世纪前就已解散,4 个成员中有 2 个已经去世,但他们对后世仍然影响至今。1994 年发行的 The Beatles《Live at the BBC》成为了当时英国销量第 1 的专辑,在 6 星期内在全球卖出了 500 多万张。相隔 19 年,而第 2 弹《Live at the BBC Volume 2》将在 11 月 11 日全球发行,收录了曾于 1963 年至 1964 年间在 BBC 广播中播放过的歌曲。
专辑是由 Paul McCartney 主理,一共 2 张 CD 收录 63 首歌,其中 37 首都是早前未曾以唱片的形式发布过的。另外乐迷们还能听到 23 段珍贵的声音,记录了 4 位成员跟各大电台主持人之间的交流声音档。除了 CD,BBC 亦将同步出版 1 本名为《Beatles——1962-1970 BBC 全记录》(The Beatles – The BBC Archives: 1962-1970)的新书,书中将披露他们从未公开过的照片和对谈的文字记录,描绘出 The Beatles 从风靡乐坛到乐队解散的音乐历程。该书作者是 Kevin Howlett,据说是最资深的 Beatles 研究人。

In 1994, The Beatles’ Live at the BBC was released to worldwide acclaim - hitting number one in the U.K. and number three in the U.S. and selling more than five million copies within six weeks.
A new companion to The Beatles’ first BBC collection, On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2, will now be released on 11 November.
On Air’s 63 tracks, none of which overlaps with The Beatles’ first BBC release, include 37 previously unreleased performances and 23 previously unreleased recordings of in-studio banter and conversation between the band’s members and their BBC radio hosts.
In the studios of the British Broadcasting Corporation, The Beatles performed music for a variety of radio shows. On Air - Live at the BBC Volume 2 presents the sound of The Beatles seizing their moment to play for the nation. Thrilled to hear these exciting recordings again, Paul McCartney said, “There’s a lot of energy and spirit. We are going for it, not holding back at all, trying to put in the best performance of our lifetimes.”
