Nearly 50 years after The Beatles invaded America, a new collection of unreleased Fab Four radio show recordings is set for release.

In 1994, Apple Records issued "Live at the BBC," a two-CD collection of 69 songs and promo bits that The Beatles performed live on BBC radio between 1962 and 1965. The set included performances of oldies like "The Hippy Hippy Shake," "Johnny B Goode," and "Glad All Over," as well as unreleased John Lennon and Paul McCartney composition "I'll Be on My Way."

The reliable Beatlefan magazine and WogBlog are reporting that "Live at the BBC, Vol. 2" will arrive in stores on Oct. 3 from Universal Music, which now distributes Apple.

BBC radio had a practice of erasing and reusing their tapes, which meant most of the Beatles appearances were lost. However quite a few were preserved by listeners taping the shows at home and BBC transcription records, which were sent to radio stations abroad.

According to WogBlog, the BBC launched a campaign last year asking the public to bring those home recordings to the BBC for review.

The new batch of BBC recordings will coincide with an upcoming book, which will detail those radio sessions. "The Beatles: The BBC Archives: 1962-1970" is written by BBC and Beatles expert Kevin Howlett. It will be published on Oct. 10 by Random House.
