| Studying the Beatles |
In 1962 the Beatles were one of England's top live rock bands and stars of the Hamburg St Pauli scene. A thousand performances in Liverpool and Hamburg had transformed a bunch of enthusiastic kids into a mean, lean combo with three hundred plus songs in their repetoire.
What did they sound like then, before the Brian Epstein and George Martin got hold of them? What did they sound like live, in the dance hall? What did they sound like before they reduced their live set to ten songs?
The Star Club recorded in the last week of December 1962 at the last set of live shows the Beatles performed in Germany is as close as we will ever get to knowing. Thirty songs in the Beatles' loudest Mach Shau style take us back to where they belonged in the years between 1956 and 1962.
