Description
In 1972 a small company in New Jersey brazenly flaunted copyright statutes and sold a huge four-disc set of well-known Beatles songs – even advertising the collection on television and radio.
The collection was being sold by a company called Audiotape Inc. and was titled ΑΩ, or The Beatles Alpha Omega — and it was quite the curiosity. Containing 4 LPs (and also available on 8-track), it collected 60 Beatles songs including several current (at the time) Beatles solo tracks. The tracks were arranged more or less in alphabetical order (some may have been shuffled around due to time concerns), and edited haphazardly; “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” fades out just before the “Billy Shears” introduction on “With A Little Help From My Friends“, which appeared on a separate disc.
The front and back box cover of Alpha Omega. The box held the vinyl records in sleeves.
