The Beatles' Recording Sessions
The recordings made by the Beatles, a rock group from Liverpool, England, from their inception as the Quarrymen in 1957 and to their break-up in 1970 and their reunion in the mid 1990s, have huge cultural and historical value. The studio session tapes are kept at Abbey Road Studios, formerly known as "EMI Studios" until 1970, where the Beatles recorded most of their music. Their outtakes and demos are seen by fans as collectables, and some of the recordings have appeared on countless bootlegs. The only outtakes and demos to be officially released appear on The Beatles Anthology series and its tie-in singles. Most have never been released. Some previously unreleased studio recordings were used in The Beatles: Rock Band video game as background noise and to give songs studio-sounding beginnings and endings.
All of the following songs are written by Lennon–McCartney except where noted. All single and album releases are for the United Kingdom.

Famous quotes containing the word recording:
“I didn’t have to think up so much as a comma or a semicolon; it was all given, straight from the celestial recording room. Weary, I would beg for a break, an intermission, time enough, let’s say, to go to the toilet or take a breath of fresh air on the balcony. Nothing doing!”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
