SEE PICTURE FOR TRACK LISTINGS
Scarce limited edition silver embossed black textured box set, comprising 15 x 7" vinyl singles containing tracks from the Star-Club tapes. Each 7” comes in an identical black and white cover with a group shot on the front and a label hole on the back with a history of the recordings. One label shows the two song titles, the other one has the same photo as the front of the sleeve. The box has a lift-off lid, with a list of singles pasted inside, along with a stamped limited edition number. Facsimiles of a 1962 postcard, a 1962 Star-Club concert poster and pennant, and a March 1964 Beatles Fan Club Newsletter, are included.
The text on the back cover of each 7” reads as follows:
“In Liverpool, Hamburg and other dance halls….what we generated was fantastic, where we played straight rock, and there was nobody to touch us in Britain. As soon as we made it, we made it, but the edges were knocked off. We always missed the club dates because that’s when we were playing music.”
John Lennon, 1970
When Ted Taylor used his portable Grundig tape machine to record The Beatles’ last performance at the Star-Club in Hamburg, West Germany on New Year’s Eve 1962, he was unwittingly capturing a piece of twentieth century history.
From jeans and leather jackets to suits, shirts and ties; dingy local dance halls to radio, television and recording studios; major local popularity to minor national recognition; 1962 was in many ways a year of revolutionary changes for the lads from Liverpool.
At the beginning of 1962 they were just another band of rock and rollers struggling to make their way in the music business. By the end of the year, under the resourceful guidance of their manager Brian Epstein, they had secured a recording contract on EMI’s Parlophone label, seen their debut single, Love Me Do, peak at number 17 on the British charts.
