Beatles/Tobe Milo TMLP-4Q Original 7” Single

This time, we were given a wonderful item. It was an EP from the legendary label “Tobe Milo”. The label was very popular among enthusiasts in the late 1970s with the release of Beatles titles produced by enthusiasts. The legendary masterpiece “The Beatles Bootleg Dictionary” even said that “whether you own Tobe Milo is the deciding factor for being an enthusiast”. The label is basically good at the EP format, and although it is not particularly refined, it was highly praised for its production that makes you think it was made by an enthusiast. Another reason why Tobe Milo was so popular was that it was a limited numbered item. Because of this, when the label slowed down its activities in the 1980s, each item became a premium item, and at one point the price jumped up to an outrageous level. Nowadays, the price is not as high as it was in the past, but it is still popular as an item. Here are two sister EP items from this legendary label. The first is “STUDIO OUTTAKES”. As the name suggests, this EP features Beatles studio outtakes. However, most of the recordings were actually copied from other bootlegs, and even performances that had nothing to do with the Beatles were included. Even Tobe Milo releasing such niche items is typical of the 70s. At that time, the release of recordings was limited, and the CD era’s “ULTRA RARE TRAX” was a dream come true. Strictly speaking, the only outtakes are the alternate take of “Hey Jude” broadcast on TV, “I Am the Walrus” and “The Fool on the Hill”. The rest are a cover of John’s “Oh My Love” by another band (apparently the band was called The Wackers), and a BBC live version of “Day Tripper” by Jimi Hendrix, which was half-seriously taken to have John participate in at the time, which filled in the gaps. What’s more, the sound quality of “Day Tripper” is extremely bad, which is very 70s bootleg-like. The bootleg quality is on a different level from today’s official remasters. And “Oh My Love” was included as a Beatles version that was shelved. Surprisingly, there is an interesting snippet of John playing around with Labelle’s “Lady Marmalade” during an interview just before he became a househusband. In this way, the EP format had a mixed bag of good and bad stuff, but the pitch was also completely different depending on the source, which is typical of 70’s bootlegs. Maniacs at the time must have had a hard time playing them. So the pitch of each sound source was precisely adjusted. This not only makes it much easier to listen to than the original EP, but even maniacs who own the original disc will be able to enjoy the fact that they can easily listen to it on a CD player and at a stable pitch throughout the entire album.
