The Beatles - Jimmy Nicol And The Beatles (1995)

Released in 1995, Jimmy Nichol And The Beatles is a bootleg compilation CD of the moment in 1964 when Jimmy Nicol temporarily replaced Ringo Starr as a drummer, when he had tonsillitis pharyngitis, which lead to him having to get his tonsils removed. Starr and the lads were to go on tour when he fainted during a photo shoot, leading a need to find a replacement. Producer George Martin had worked with Jimmy Nicol on recording sessions, including a Beatle knock-off record, and he became a Beatle, at least for thirteen days. He traveled to Denmark, Netherlands, Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand. This CD features audience recordings from some of those shows. It also features an odd recording of when The Beatles appeared on a Denmark television show where they sang over pre-recorded songs. That is on this CD for an unknown reason. You can hear more from Nicol on an interview album called The Beatles Talk Down Under but this is a chance to hear the only man who temporarily released a Beatle in a live setting. This CD was taken from another blog and is being used with permission. Thank you to the original uploader.
