During the cataloging and review of the EMI archives in the early 1980s in preparation for the Sessions album and a multimedia show given at Abbey Road Studios, it is suspected that high quality copies of some of the material were surreptitiously made. ĮMI had planned to release an album of alternate takes and previously unreleased songs by The Beatles in 1985 called Sessions, but The Beatles objected after it had been compiled by the end of the year, bootleg copies were widely available. The biggest labels for Beatles material in the 1970s were Kornyfone (TAKRL), ContraBand, Trademark of Quality, and Wizardo. Bootleggers of this era often copied and repackaged each others' releases, so popular titles often appeared from more than one bootleg label. In 1978, a copy of The Beatles' Decca audition tape was bought by bootleggers, who released the songs over a series of 45 rpm singles. Other notable bootlegs to appear in the early 1970s were Yellow Matter Custard, containing 14 BBC Radio performances from 1963, and Sweet Apple Trax, a double album of songs and jams from the Get Back rehearsal sessions. John Lennon may have been the unintentional source for one of the Get Back bootlegs Lennon said: 'They say it came from an acetate that I gave to someone who then went and broadcast it as being an advance pressing or something.' The first popular Beatles bootleg was Kum Back, available around September 1969 in a plain white sleeve with no mention of a record company the vinyl bootleg was based on an acetate of one of the early rough mixes by Glyn Johns of the Get Back album (which would later become Let It Be). 2.12 Get Back/Let It Be sessions (1969).2.11 The White Album (Kinfauns) demos (1968).
