Previously un-booted live recording of Beatles in Sweden surfaces

Via WogBlog:
A recording from one of The Beatles' performances at Johanneshovs Isstadion, Stockholm, Sweden suddenly materialised out of nowhere the other day, and started circulating among collectors. The Beatles played four concerts at the venue, two on July 28th, 1964 and two the day after. The recording could be from any of these concerts. The concert was professionally recorded in stereo, however, over the years, one channel of the stereo image has been wiped. The result is that you can hear Paul McCartney's vocal microphone loud and clear, but not John Lennon's. Of course, when George Harrison sings into McCartney's microphone you can hear him, but not when he is using John's. The bass, drums and George's guitar are heard, but not so much Lennon's rhythm guitar. You can hear John's voice being picked up some times by Paul's microphone, but distant. Still, it's an entertaining recording, and the missing side of the stereo image lets you focus in on some backup singing.
Here the recording and see more info here.
