This title marks the first in a two-part series, boldly compiling A-roll recordings from the second half of the GET BACK SESSION, an 11-day session at Apple Studios from January 21st to 31st, onto four CDs. It consists of recordings from the 21st to the 27th.

With few exceptions, the performances are arranged chronologically, which, while rough, allows for a clear understanding of the flow of the sessions.

The album features a wide range of performances, from covers and early Lennon-McCartney numbers to their own songs recorded years and months prior, the "Abbey Road" sessions, and solo material. It also features Billy Preston's solo acoustic performances, such as tracks 15 and 16 on Disc 1.

As for the editing, the tracks are generally crossfaded, allowing for easy listening in one go. In addition, there are occasional performances that cross over the roll during a song, and long performances are cut to shorten them for a seamless transition.

The highlights are summarized, so each track has its merits. To give a quick rundown, there's "There You Are Eddie," an unreleased song featuring amusing exchanges between Paul and John while they're playing. The medley, which begins with "Get Back," track 30 on Disc 1, features John taking over from Paul as he sings "Maybellene," but John ignores him and simply belts out "You Can't Catch Me," which is a bit amusing. While the performances are generally loose, when John shifts from "Sweet Little Sixteen" to "Around and Around," another Chuck Berry number, everyone keeps up without losing rhythm, as expected. The album also features many enjoyable performances of favorite standards, including two medleys of Arthur Alexander's "Where Have You Been," familiar to Beatles fans from "Anna (Go To Him)." Track 36, "Dig A Pony," is a playback of a take from the unreleased album "Get Back," and hearing George burst out laughing when he hears the initial pause is enough to make you laugh too.
Track 39, "Please Please Me," is a slow version featuring Paul playing piano and singing, which suggests the original version before the tempo was sped up might have been arranged like this, but it doesn't bear much resemblance to Roy Orbison's "Only the Lonely" as recounted by the band members.

Surprisingly, track 40, "Let It Be," is sung by both George and John.

On Disc 2, on the 26th, in the famous "Octopus's Garden" scene from the movie "Let It Be," John arrives and offers to help, joking, "I'm afraid Paul'll be devastated if I play drums."
Paul brought not only Linda but also her daughter Heather to the session that day, and she contributes some lovely vocals. At the beginning of track 10, "Jam / "I Told You Before" / Jam," John lets out a strange cry that clearly echoes Yoko, to which John responds, "Yoko! (Yoko!)."
"I Told You Before" is a jam with a simple repeated riff, but it's a performance that Beatles fans will want to know.
From track 8 onwards, the medley begins with "Rip It Up," which was featured in the film "Let It Be" and in parts on "ANTHOLOGY 3." The portion of "Miss Ann" that corresponds to the tape change is filled in with playback audio, allowing you to enjoy the complete medley with just the A-roll, without using multi-track audio. The amusing scene in the film "Let It Be" where Paul starts singing "Miss Ann" and John and George forcefully take the song to "Kansas City" can be seen, but the parts that are filled in using playback audio on this album are not seen in the film, so it becomes clear that it was John, not Paul, who took the lead in finally evolving into "Lawdy Miss Clawdy."
From track 11 onwards, "The Long and Winding Road," Paul gives instructions on the chord progression, and although there are a few mistakes here and there, the track shows them completing the take that became the basis for the released version in a short amount of time.
The 17th track, "Get Back," is a version in which Paul sings with "Touch Nagashima" (perhaps referring to Tatsuji Nagashima?).
