Hated by many, this amazing album may be of dubious quality, and the original tapes had a very chequered history, but this release is a fascinating study of The Beatles as performers before Brian Epstein filed off the edges.The recording were made in late December 1962, and featured Ringo Starr on drums. In 1981 Audiofidelity Enterprises remastered the songs and released them on the album 'The Beatles Historic Sessions'. The first CD release was in 1999 using the remastered tapes and reverting back to the original title. For more information see...The Star Club Tapes
