APPLE at the BEEB is the product of the BBC Transcription Service who covered the Apple Records artistic output with zeal until 1973 when things at Apple began sadly to really fall apart .
This the result of combining many performances from Top of the Pops, Radio 1 and 2, which has resulted in a truly wonderful presentation that really signifies the quality of the Apple Records releases and the direction in which it was progressing.
This whole package is a one off presentation, and is wonderfully presented, but it was never intended for public resale, and this makes the setup, very desirable, extremely rare, and very historical in music history.
I must also thank my colleague here John “Buzz” Bezzini who gave me a group of tracks, which gave me the direction in which I had to go. So with diligence and fortitude I began my quest, and the result is this marvellous set. When a contact was informed that it was myself that wanted the tracks i was informed that would not be a problem, and he was good to his word !! So thank you John for your generosity!!
It is so well put together, and really opens up a different world of Apple from Number 3 Savile Row, London W.1. You will find various photographs of the entire presentation, and it is a marvel to behold.
The other thing is that this whole package was at some time in the past deemed surplus to requirements and was expunged from the archives. A wasteful move in every sense. So please enjoy a true unique and wonderful collection of Apple Records at the Beeb !! it is not available to buy, as it has never been issued except internally throughout the BBC, but is now considered not to hold any value within their organisation. Hence my successful result in my quest. A very shortsighted decision in the light of things!!
Regards and Best
PS There is a second email to follow with some more excellent photos

Inside Number Three – The Illustrated History of Apple Records
Inside No3 takes you through that famous door, deep into the minds of all who worked there at Apple Records. This is done also in a very different way. This is not a kiss-and-tell diary, it is through fan adulation and understanding via a personal collection of artifacts and memorabilia that author Nigel Pearce has built up over the last 50 years.

¿Es un lanzamiento oficial?
Fernando, creo que los CD con la etiqueta de Apple no son grabaciones con licencia oficial. Alguien sacó las grabaciones de la BBC y las grabó ilegalmente. Apple nunca presionó oficialmente para que se publicaran. Espero que eso responda a tu pregunta.
This is A BBC release not Apple it was only for BBC staff not for General Public consumption.
That indeed looks good !! – Thank you for showing it
