Miraculous live performance at the school on April 4, 1963. The biggest historical discovery of this century!
The long full-length live performance right after the release of the debut LP was unexpected. The world marveled at the whole picture revealed.
The first edition includes a bonus CD with 22 songs from the BBC live show in the best sound quality in the order of the songs from Stowe Academy.
First edition limited edition with bonus CD.

　The news of the unprecedented sound source discovery came from the BBC in the UK.
The BBC has discovered a 60-minute-long live performance at Stowe School, a prestigious boys' school in Buckinghamshire, England, two weeks after the Beatles' debut album was released.
This was a time when their single "Please Please Me" was a hit and their popularity was growing in the UK.
A student at the school, David Moores, wrote to the Beatles and made it happen, a school concert on April 4, 1963.
John Bloomfield, a 15-year-old male student at the time, recorded it and kept it for 60 years (it is now in the British Library).
Last month, it was brought to the BBC Broadcasting Corporation, where only parts of four songs, "I Saw Her Standing There," "Too Much Monkey Business," "Memphis, Tennessee," and "Please Please Me," were broadcast.
And now here it is in its entire 60-minute length.
The sound quality of the performance is excellent, thanks to the subdued cheers of the students, probably due to the fact that this is a prestigious boys' school in England.
George's guitar is balanced and his playing is 20% sharper than usual.
The sound quality was not so good, perhaps due to the limitations of the equipment of the time, but it has been demixed and remastered with the latest technology available today.
The 22 incredible songs performed include "Love Me Do," "Thank You Girl," and "Missouri," the first time these songs have been performed live in person outside of a series of previous BBC broadcasts (unfortunately, "Money" was partially cut). With occasional requests, the stage proceeds in a passionate yet friendly manner. After the performance, there was a dinner party at the school, and the students seemed to have had a chance to get to know each other.
Before visiting the school, the Beatles also recorded a performance for BBC Broadcasting Corporation, after which photographer Dezo Hoffman took pictures in front of the BBC Broadcasting Corporation. That is the famous shot that was used for the cover of "Live at the BBC".
D. Hoffman continued to accompany the Stowe School, and many photographs were left behind.
Although we had already known this much, we could not hide our surprise at the fact that such a long concert was held and such a song list was played.
After this, the Beatles' popularity exploded.
They toured the world and played many shows, but all of them were only 30-minute package shows.
This is a historical excavation of the only recorded long show other than the show at the Star Club.

For enthusiasts, it is recognized as the only source of information on the Beatles' performance style during this period, but for the average fan, the sound quality may be harsh.
However, the setlist is unique to this period.
In order to enjoy it, the first pressing will include a bonus CD with the setlist of the Stowe Academy from the BBC live show, which has good sound quality.
You can hear the MC at Stowe between songs, so it is a great way to simulate the miraculous performance.

Detailed Japanese commentary. 12-page booklet with photos of the day, 7,200 characters.
