A Beatles Historian Found a One-of-a-Kind 1965 Concert Recording. Now He’s Looking to Sell.
A Beatles historian is selling rare 1965 1965 concert audio tapes Who will buy them, what are they worth, and will the public ever get to hear them?
The owner of two reel-to-reel audio tapes containing a one-of-a-kind, superior-quality Beatles concert, recorded directly from the soundboard at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens on Aug. 17, 1965, is ready to sell. Only a select group of people have heard it, he says, including former Canadian concert promoter John Brower, who put on the famed Toronto Rock and Roll Revival music festival in 1969 and is helping with the sale of the tapes; and Doug McClement, who he describes as “one of Canada’s most respected sound engineers.” After bringing the tapes to the attention of Apple Corps, Hemmingsen says the company flew him to Abbey Road Studios in July 2015, where he “auditioned” the original reel on their equipment.
