Availability

It took months of communications going back to the beginning of June, as well as bit of searching on their end, but they managed to find a few leftover copies of the Beatlemania CD and made them available on the site.

I have no idea how much of Alex is in the CD or how much her voice will stand out, but I've been looking for this one for years and it's finally great to know that a copy is on its way!

My contact over at West End International says there are no plans to do another pressing of the CD (or release it on digital platforms) so once this batch is gone, that's it.

So this is basically a rare collectors item now.  ;)


Ordering

Here's the site where it can be ordered:
http://www.westendinternational.com/recordings

The site only allows you to order with an address in the UK or Germany. So if you want one:
- You'll have to order with a German or UK address (I'm getting my copy through a friend in Germany), or
- Contact West End International through their site. Basically you'll need to mail them a cheque, then once they get it, they'll contact you and you give them your address, then they'll mail it to you.

I probably won't get my copy until January. I'll listen and post about it then!

So after a LONG journey, I finally got a copy of Beatlemania in May!

Alex is featured in the following songs:
- Back in the USSR
- Revolution 1 / I Want to Hold Your Hand
- A Hard Day's Night
- Yesterday

The following company (group) tracks have a bit of Alex as well to varying extents:
- The Long & Winding Road
- Ticket to Ride
- Penny Lane
- Yellow Submarine
- Here Comes the Sun
- Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
- When I'm Sixty Four

I enjoyed the source material (The Beatles). I enjoyed the CD as well, though the arrangements didn't blow my mind or anything. There was enough of Alex on the CD for a serious Sharpie like me to go well out of my way (over the course of a year or so) to get it. If you're not intent on collecting Alex's fringe works or all things "Beatles" though, there are plenty of other Celtic Woman related solo works (including Alex's solo album) that I would recommend prior to this one.
