So, after a few hours of intense preparation, the "Let it r.m.b!" and 
"Butcher Covers" supporting material is now online:

http://www.sakionline.net/beatles/

These were collections of songs sung by rmb'ers in 1995 and 1997. These 
packages included a plethora of extras and surprises, such as set lists, 
production notes, and other fun stuff. Why not share?

Please let me know whether any of you have any browser issues. I've 
checked it in Safari and Firefox and it's okay (bug reports in I.E. or 
Opera would be much appreciated).

If you have any questions, do please drop me a line. If you weren't 
around to pick up these music collections at the time, I might be able 
to help.
