If the figures 300k, can you imagine how big their storage would be. If true, it wouldn't surprise me If missing British tv was in there. The Netherlands is super easy to get to from the UK and the collectibles market is always going back and forth across the channel.

"Magnetic master" sounds like a can of soundtrack rather than film? De Lane Lea did soundtrack mixing.

Fenno must have some collection of Beatles material in his possession He does. They used a wee bit of his material in Anthology (see credits). |

He seems quite active in the archive world in his country - He posted this earlier "A lot happened this week, I also had to go to London to bring gold records for an upcoming exhibition but ..... the collector Fenno has also made quite a move... I've bought over 1200 original 16mm films exclusively from 60s artists such as Helen Shapiro, the Hollies, Rolling Stones, Procol Harum and so on...... I had to go to London, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam for this... I'm not going to be bored this summer and I'm going to make fun because these videos all come from dusty archives and yes everything is in color! Its exclusively scopitone and cinebox movies played in movie jukeboxes ...... Lovely haul" Attachments:

When I saw 'lost Beatles' and 'The Netherlands' I immediately thought of this curious story from a while back: ew.com/article/2003/01/10/police-find-lost-beatles-session-tapes/Which I've just discovered didn't end there: www.dutchnews.nl/2016/03/dutch-beatles-fans-lose-nagra-tapes-claim/I wonder how this played out in court? Snelleman and Remmerwaal say they bought the tapes from former Apple Records worker Nigel Oliver for the equivalent of €36,000 in 1992 after being outbid by Apple for other tapes at a memorabilia auction. The two Dutchmen deny they were in possession of stolen property and describe the charges of money laundering and fencing as ‘extremely curious’. In addition, they want to know why Apple Records never reported the theft in the first place.And more info here: www.pressreader.com/new-zealand/the-press/20210727/281951725848016And much more detail here: webgrafikk.com/blog/uncategorized/source-of-nagra-tapes/
Snelleman and Remmerswaal were Beatles fans regularly organised Beatles days in Holland, where they were selling rare memorabilia and were franchisees of a series of record stores, as Silverlux Music. Unofficially, they also ran their own bootleg record label, Yellow Dog Records, which was in the business of distributing unknown Beatles material. The tapes they were interested in buying at this auction, was a set of tapes from the 1969 Get Back recording sessions. They were, however, outbid by a representative from Apple Records.
After the auction, Snelleman was approached by a man who had been noticing what he had been bidding on. The man told him that he was in the possession of lots more of the same material, was Snelleman interested? Of course he was! It turned out that the tapes at the auction were mere copies of a fragment of what the unknown man had at home. The man lived in Slough, and his name was Nigel Oliver. As it turned out, he was a former Apple employee, office boy and tape library assistant at Apple studio. And the Nagra tapes were being kept at the studio. When the studio was shut down, Oliver asked if he could take the remaining Nagra tapes. No one objected to this, and he took them all back home with him.Not that I'm making any connection here - but it's not the first time a stack of Beatles recordings have appeared there. Although in this case, let's hope under less dubious circumstances. Although this much older story does sound a lot like someone at Apple messed up and handed over these tapes (probably without realising what they were) and then, upon realising the error, used the power of money to reclaim them through the courts. Or Nigel was lying through his teeth and was never given permission to take them? |
