This is a comment on the "Ultimate Archive Collection" as a whole. There is an entry for the "Liverpool Sound Collage" EP/album with the UAC treatment, but it doesn't show up in the list of the Ultimate Archive Collection series. Just making you aware of its exclusion.

Where can this unofficial archive be found?

Hi Maarten, I guess it's difficult to find these days - pls look at the common public sites dedicated to Beatles boots.

Disc 1 has wrong numbering of bonus tracks. It should start with 14 (Once Upon...).
Thanks, Jan.
