I don't really understand how the entire Beatles collection could be compromised by 15 poor quality bootleg tracks. There are hundreds of thousands of poor quality bootleg tracks from Jazz, Rock, Blues, and Country artists alike. You see all of these bootlegged songs from artists, but you don't think about how it affects the artist. My thoughts are that it doesn't affect the artist in any way whatsoever. These bootlegged songs will not affect the beatles in any way. For starters, they BROKE UP!!! they aren't together anymore. the only people seeing royalties are Ringo, and Paul (John and George are dead). As for tarnishing the image of the Beatles. We all do know that the recording technology was incredibly poor in Germany in the 1960's. Personally, the sound quality wouldn't really affect my judgment on the Beatles recording history. In my opinion, as a Beatles fan, these tracks need to be heard. I would love to buy the Album. The one problem is that I don't agree to giving people money for an album made entirely of Illegal Bootlegs.

BTW, Paul and Ringo do not receive royalties for Beatles music anymore. Michael Jackson bought the rights years and years ago... so every time you buy a Beatles album, MJ gets paid.
Now how do you feel about Beatles bootlegs?
