Live at the BBC was released by The Beatles in November 1994; it includes tracks from the multitude of recordings they made for radio shows at the BBC during 1963-1965. Many of these recordings had been heard most recently on the BBC Radio 1 documentary series The Beeb's Lost Beatles Tapes (1988). The BBC scrapped most of its archive tapes of The Beatles performing; the majority of this album is based on a bootleg by the Great Dane organization, most noticeable in the drops in quality during "Keep Your Hands off My Baby" and "That's All Right (Mama)", which sound unusually tinny and distant.

Since the album's release, the (almost) complete BBC sessions have surfaced in equal (or, in many cases, superior) quality on bootlegs, missing just a few speech links and parts of songs. The most recent edition is the ten discs published by the Purple Chick organization, and upgraded in 2004.

There are six Beatles performances of 'unreleased' numbers that George Martin deemed too poor for the album: Roy Orbison's "Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream)", from The Beatles' very first radio broadcast (8 March 1962), featuring Pete Best on drums; The Coasters' arrangement of "Besame Mucho" and Joe Brown's "A Picture of You" (15 June 1962), also with Best on drums; Slim Whitman's "Beautiful Dreamer" (26 January 1963); and Chuck Berry's "I'm Talking about You" (16 March 1963).

Carl Perkins's "Lend Me Your Comb", from the 16 July 1963 broadcast, was also omitted; it did appear on Anthology 1 (1995). George Martin's selection criteria for the material involved both the technical quality of the recording and the standard of the performance, the latter of which was substandard for this number.
