ITALIAN magazine cassette
























This is an odd cassette item; it came out in 1993 as a freebie with a popular italian weekly magazine named "Gente"; Gli Indimenticabili Beatles is, surprisingly, a bootleg to all effects as it features officially unreleased live tracks from various shows (not the EMI studio versions) taken from the italian "grey area" live albums releases on Bulldog and Live labels.
