Apple Jam's upcoming CD
"Off the Beatle Track"

"Off the Beatle Track" showcases early Lennon/McCartney compositions released by others, but never by Beatles while they were together. Instead, the songs were given to British contemporaries like Billy J. Kramer, Cilla Black, and Peter & Gordon. These artists in turn produced a sizable body of hits including "Bad to Me", "A World Without Love", and "I'll Be on My Way" -- proving the quality and timeless nature of the Beatles songwriting and music. Interestingly, the Beatles first considered titling their debut album "Off the Beatle Track", but later decided on "Please Please Me". Select songs from "Off the Beatle Track" were performed live at Apple Jam's "Beatles and solo years tribute" concert at the Triple Door in Seattle on January 11th, 2008.
Apple Jam is embodying each track with an authentic Beatles sound, as if the Liverpool lads had released these songs themselves circa 1963. "We are using the same microphones, gear, and studio techniques of the period to make the album sound just like an early Beatles record," says Rick Lovrovich, Apple Jam's founding member. Apple Jam's 2007 version of "I'll Keep You Satisfied" was originally released in 1963 by Billy J. Kramer and reached number 4 on the UK charts while the Beatles' "She Loves You" enjoyed the number 1 position. John Lennon was present at the recording. "Off the Beatle Track" is slated for release in Spring 2008. The History of Apple Jam
