The Beatles are to release 59 rare and unheard recordings in a bid to stop their copyright protection expiring.
The digital compilation includes BBC sessions, four alternative takes of She Loves You and five of A Taste Of Honey.
It has not been officially announced, but a spokeswoman for Apple records confirmed the release to the BBC.
EU law protects recordings for 70 years, but only if they get an official release. Otherwise, the copyright period lasts 50 years.
In the case of The Beatles, that means the master tape for their 1963 debut album Please Please Me is protected until 2033, but the unreleased session tapes for that album are not.
