Imagine what other important aspects of our culture have been lost because someone wanted to save a few pennies as a "cost cutting measure"?

A cave that everyone figured had been fully mined may be ready to spring forth with even more jewels. Reports across the web say that a new set of Beatles performances on the BBC will be released in October.

According to the WogBlog, an internal release list from Universal Music shows an October 4 released date for Live at the BBC, Volume 2, a follow-up to the original 1994 album of recordings from the network.
