The Decca sessions, recorded on 1 January 1962 in West Hampstead. The 1979 release seems to have come from a tape gifted to a third party in the 1960s by Brian Epstein. The Beatles have owned the tape since the 1980s and took legal action confirming that they owned the copyright in 1989.
These recordings and the releases that contain them are thus unofficial under current copyright law.
