Can You Hear Me? is a follow up release to Secret Garden's We'd Like To Carry On released last year.  It collects little snippets of recordings from many different sources that haven't been released before.  Many come from professional sources and sound very good.  Others come from amateur sources and are very difficult to listen to.  Most of the tracks are very fragmentary further obscuring the origin and interest in this collection.

The first track is John Lennon's speaking the title to this collection.  The next two tracks are "Some Other Guy" both from the Cavern and sound very good and are complete.  The following four tracks are from Hamburg and are very good sounding fragments.  The next three songs come from a television broadcast and is in excellent quality.  The following newsreel footage from Manchester sounds acceptable and is again very fragmentary.  The Washington D.C. fragment is very good quality with "Roll Over Beethoven" from two different sources.  The New Musical Express Poll Winners' concert contains both "She Loves You" and "Twist And Shout" complete in in excellent quality.  These tracks are probably the best thing about this release.

The Stockholm concert introduction lasts only a few seconds and is an annoucer introducting the band to a screaming audience in poor quality.  The fifteen tracks following this make up the bulk of the collection and are snippets from various sources of The Beatles' August 23rd, 1964 Hollywood Bowl concert.  The first "Twist And Shout" is complete and in excellent quality.  The newsreel footage is in very good quality, while the rest of the amature film footage is in poor quality and very fragmentary.  The next three tracks come from the September 7th, 1964 television broadcast in fair soundquality and in fragments.  The three song set from the NME Poll Winners' concert in 1965 is very good as is "I Feel Fine" from Paris.  

The rest of the release also comes from various newsreels all in various quality ranging from poor to good.  The San Francisco material is probably the best while the Cleveland show, which sounds like degenerates into a riot, is the worst sounding of the bunch.  The collection ends with an excellent and recording of "Red Hot" from Hamburg in 1962, the same recording that appeared as a fragment at the beginning of the disc.  I don't know if these are complete fragments or if Secret Garden released them this way but it does provide a tantilizing glimps into what is out there.  This collection could be improved if they released more complete documents if available.  As it is this is good for the Beatle collector who already has everything and wants more but I don't see its appeal to the more casual collector.
