Unheard Beatles songs

Someone calling himself Red Hector has a YouTube playlist with 72 songs by the Beatles, all from the "Let It Be" sessions of 1969. Sound quality seems to be pretty good; he claims to have remastered them but it's hard to tell.

Red Hector? There was a famous mandolin player named Red Rector.
Hmmm. It's interesting these songs are just seeing the light of day.


@billastro Me too. Maybe Paul McCartney will too:) He would need Perry Mason for a lawyer if Sir Paul gets after him.
Yeah I use to work at an old movie theatre with a large stage and balconies and it was a vaudeville theater many years ago so it had a large stage and a good number of dressing rooms so when movies were no longer profitable in a downtown single screen theatre they went back to stage shows and every Saturday night they had music. Johnny Cash, Dolly Pardon, Jerry Lee Lewis were some of the better known appearances. And they also had bluegrass nights and one of the more noted players was Red Rector who was there several times. Once with Tony Rice.
When I saw the name Red Hector I first thought it was that musician. But I googled Red Hector bluegrass musician and it came up Red Rector and he died in 1990. Rector was well known in blue grass and acoustic music then.
I'm suspicious Red Hector isn't his name and it's a play on Red Rector.

Sounds a lot like practice sessions, trying to work out the group timing, and sometimes just a little jamming. You can tell they really liked the blues.
