This album is a collection of non EMI tracks from 1961-1962, It states on the sleeve notes that 29 of the 49 tracks are previously unreleased, however, discarding the Tony Sheridan, tracks, there are 18 tracks of original interest. 
The Beatles 1962 output was now 50 years old and therefore, in the public domain, so this explains the dubious quality of the recordings.
Featured on this album "Love of The Loved" was the last unreleased  Lennon & McCartney track from The DECCA audition. The album is a historically important one, although most of CD 1 consists of Tony Sheridan tracks, CD 2 includes many previously unreleased gems.
