The Beatles - "DDSI" and "GB" Numbers Explained

Within this book each chapter was devoted to a day of recording, and very conveniently for the authors, these sessions all took place in January (I say conveniently, because therefore no day number occurs twice ... read on ...)
Giving details of each day, every song or snippet of song is given a unique sequential number, therefore the first song recorded on the 4th of January is number 4.1 ... and the 12th song on the 31st of January is 31.12 within the book.
Got it ?
This means that each recording within these sessions can be referenced easily, and for detail one can look at the book.

Of course, the bulk of these recordings have only ever surfaced on illegal recordings, "Bootlegs", and on this huge pile of releases there is much repetition of these sessions. Handily though, with book in hand we can read the full detail of each song and it's recording process.
If you have recordings of these sessions, you MUST have the book.

BUT ... one major fly in the ointment, although "DDSI" was the title of the original U.S. publication ...
for the U.K. market (and later editions elsewhere) the title was changed to "GET BACK - The Beatles Let It Be Disaster" ... AND the numbers HAD CHANGED !
Therefore the DDSI numbers now only referred to the older (out of date) publication, so these have to be replaced by "GB" numbers (GB-TBLIBD numbers is too much of a mouthful !).

So, within my bootleg listings, if it says at the top "GB Number", then I have checked the track, with the book, and doubled checked my typing ! ... and these tracks can be played along with the book in hand, and your enjoyment will be added to ... Definately.
