The Beatles at The Star Club - Remastered 2023 Complete - Hamburg Germany 1962

Remastering of the long version of The Beatles at The Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany from December 1962 tapes. These are the complete recordings that include other acts on the bill and some guest vocalists. Compression, Stereo Enhancement, targeted EQ to enhance vocals and snare, cut some shrill and add warmth in the low end to bring out Paul’s bass and Ringo’s kick drum. This Beatles performance on New Year’s Eve, 1962, was originally recorded by the club’s stage manager, Adrian Barber, on a domestic Grundig tape recorder. Given to Ted Taylor of the Liverpool band The Dominoes, the tapes remained in obscurity until the mid-1970’s, when former Beatles manager Allan Williams took them to Paul Rogers of Buk Records. -- FAIR USE COPYRIGHT NOTICE The Copyright Laws of the United States recognizes a “fair use” of copyrighted content.
