Apple label for bootlegs

For those who downloaded The Beatles "Bootleg Recordings 1963" and are planning on burning your own CDs from the material, Jeff Levy (of AppleLog fame) created these labels.
The material should fit nicely on three discs. I would have put all the BBC songs on two discs and the rest on a third. I'll get back again with a back cover (you already have a front cover).

Evaluation of the studio tracks from this release:

01 There's A Place (Takes 5 & 6) 
Upgrade. Direct from original master. Live fade-out (same as Roger Scott tape). Line hum at 50Hz.
02 There's A Place (Take 8 ) 
Upgrade. Direct from original master. Line hum at 50Hz.
03 There's A Place (Take 9) 
Upgrade. Direct from original master. Line hum at 50Hz.
04 Do You Want to Know a Secret (Take 7) 
New material (take announcement). Upgrade. Now in stereo. Direct from original master. Final chord is faded up in volume then volume drops drastically. Line hum at 50Hz.
05 A Taste of Honey(Take 6) Missing part of take call.
Upgrade. Now in stereo. Direct from original master. End is longer. End is faded up. Line hum at 50Hz.
06 I Saw Her Standing There(Take 2) 
Upgrade. Direct from original master. Line hum at 50Hz.
07 Misery (Take 1) 
Upgrade. Now in stereo. Direct from original master. Added compression makes reverb much more apparent. Live fade-out (same as Scott tape). Line hum at 50Hz.
08 Misery (Take 7) 
Missing part of take call. Upgrade. Now in stereo. Direct from original master. Live fade-out (same as Scott tape). Line hum at 50Hz.
09 From Me to You (Takes 1 & 2) 
Copied directly from Studio 2 Sessions, speed corrected, click removed at end.
10 From Me to You (Take 5) 
11 Thank You Girl (Take 1) 
12 Thank You Girl (Take 5) 
13 One After 909 (Takes 1 & 2) 
14 Hold Me Tight (Take 21) 
Tracks 10-14: Copied directly from Studio 2 Sessions and speed corrected.
15 Money New mix, pretty similar to the left channel of the common version, but slightly longer at the end with no fade-out.

Thanks to gforce for analysing these tracks. We can add that both the demos, tracks 58 and 59 sound exactly like they used to on several earlier bootlegs. As for the BBC tracks, we'll have to leave them for later. But there are upgrades among them.
