Really formidable, very very beautiful!
I enjoy listening to those Quarrymen tracks from 1958, and it’s wonderful to hear Paul’s home demos from 1960 as well; but if there’s something marvelous for me in this compilation, that "something" is the Decca Audition. Yes, I particularly like Three Cool Cats and The Sheik Of Araby, both sung by a very young Harrison. If I had to describe the rest, I would say that Anthology 1 mostly contains live recordings from '63 and '64 and many outtakes (of which I was particularly struck by the versions of One After 909 and Eight Days A Week).
