One of our blog readers, Daniel Whitleley, who works in a record shop, reported to us that the title "The Beatles - Beatles Live at the Hollywood Bowl" recently showed up in their database as a record to be distributed by Universal Music:
LP: Cat no. 5705499
CD: Cat. no. 5705497
Release date was given as July 19, 2016. That's tomorrow, folks! The title is slightly different than the 1977 vinyl album and cassette release, as the word "Live" wasn't part of the title back then. So, perhaps a re-thinking of the contents and art work as well?
This may or may not be a tie-in with the upcoming "Eight Days A Week" documentary, and it may have been rescheduled to appear closer to the release date of the film. After all, The Beatles usually prepare for an upcoming release by a campaign before the release date. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess.


THE BEATLES LIVE COMPLETE HOLLYWOOD BOWL 1964 - 1965  Bootleg CD

UPDATE: It has been suggested by one of our sources that Tuesday is the day of the announcement, and not the release day. Another source says it is indeed a re-release of the original Hollywood Bowl album, including 4 bonus songs (from the same shows) which has previously only been available on bootlegs. Release date will be around September/October to coincide with the Ron Howard's documentary. You'll probably get all the details tomorrow then, if our sources are to be believed.
