 To supplement the archive he had partially rebuilt for "The Beeb's Lost Beatles Tapes", BBC Radio producer Kevin Howlett sought out additional sources, such as tapes kept by people involved in the original sessions; others had contacted him after the series aired to inform him of their own home recordings of additional broadcasts.Remaining gaps were filled by recordings taken from available bootlegs.From the available recordings, the tracks for "Live at the BBC" were selected by longtime Beatles producer George Martin.
