Move over, Ms L!

Hi all, wondering why you are looking at this jumbled up page? This is due to the fact that Facebook didn't like our url since it starts with wog, so we have been forced to move the blog. This was some time ago, and we have placed a script which would automatically send you to our new location. Obviously, this hasn't worked for all of you, since we have just finished moderating some of your comments which appeared on this site recently, and not on our new (and improved!) site. So what we're saying is head on over to our new site, and update your bookmarks!

Concierto en Madrid - first look

Out today! The Beatles: Concierto en Madrid
Friend of our blog, Josep M. Navarro purchased the vinyl+cd edition of the new release today in Barcelona, and has provided these scans for us.

Josep also provided us with some mp3 sound samples, and the quality is indeed very nice - but it seems most of it is not Madrid after all, but Paris. You may download these samples as a zipped file from here (7.52 Mb). Still, this seems to be the same fake Madrid concert we posted about earlier.
So what happened to the original Madrid recording that José Luis Alvarez bragged about to Efi Eme?
Apple interference? Or is this simply Spanish bootleggers rushing to cash in on a genuine, still forthcoming release?

Seems to be a rip off.

Yes, they sure sound like Paris '65 to me too.

It's Paris without a doubt

Only the spoken parts sound authentic, i.e. recorded at the actual gig, but those are not stereo, but sound like a remote audience tape.

I agree, Paris with only the opening announcer and a small portion of a Paul introduction from Spain.
What a disappointment.

Paris. Nothing new. What a con.

In track 12, is present day Paul speaking!! you can tell it is by the lower tone in his voice!!

hoax... so far

The spanish spoken part (before """"Ticket to Ride"""") is from 1989.11.02 Palacio de los Deportes, Madrid, Spain (before Live and Let Die).
Also, the """"Torrebruno introduction"""" is from a remake of the concert made by TVE in the early 70s.

What a dissapointment for us, the latinamerican fans, we wanted to listen The Beatles talking in spanish.

It´s Paris. Without a doubt.

And the "Muchas Gracias" at the intro after the Torrebruno intro is also from Madrid 1989!! not from 1965
