- Here are 24 rockers from the best available Star Club tapes from late December 1962. Using the bootleg "Magnetophone Band" (mono version) as my source, I have painstakingly smoothed out the lurching sound levels, both within each track, and from track to track, to create the smoothest possible listen from start to finish.
00:00 Seventeen, 03:23 Red Hot, 04:53 Kansas City, 07:32 Shimmy Shimmy, 10:10 Reminiscing, 12:18 Red Sails In The Sunset, 15:01 Sweet Little 16, 17:57 Roll Over Beethoven, 20:29 Nothin' Shakin', 22:01 Seventeen, 25:06 Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby, 27:47 Where Have You Been All My Life, 30:25 Lend Me Your Comb, 32:25 Your Feets Too Big, 34:55 Talking About You, 36:58 Matchbox, 39:37 Little Queenie, 43:39 Hippy Hippy Shake, 45:35 Ask Me Why, 48:01 Besame Mucho, 50:47 Mr Moonlight, 53:00 I'm Gonna Sit Right Down & Cry, 54:51 Talking About You, 56:51 Long Tall Sally.

The smell of cigarette smoke and stale beer comes right through my speakers......another place and another time. Thanks for posting.
Sounds good! The Execs at Decca said guitar 🎸 groups were going out so they weren’t interested in signing the Beatles and passed on them. Then after the Beatles comes Hendrix and Zeppelin. Then the Sex Pistols and Ramones all relied heavily on their guitar sound. Then in 1977 along comes EVH. Then in 1991 comes Nirvana. Then in 2000 comes the White Stripes. All rely on the guitar.
What those dopes didn’t realize is how versatile the electric guitar 🎸 is. It can play melodies, chords, rhythms and even be percussive. The guitar won out!
December, 1962 - so, about 4 months after Pete was sent packing and Ringo replaced him. You can hear how assertive he is on the drums, how he drives the beat. The band sounds really tight here - just great musicianship.
Suprise , suprise. Another member of the Ringo made the Beatles Fan Club. He was not that good. With a line up Lennon, McCartney and Harrison they would have made it big irrespective of the drummer in my opinion
Man I wish Apple Corp and Peter Jackson would give the go ahead to use Peter's MAL technology to clean up and remix this recording and issue it as a new Beatles album.
Even though AI was able to separate John’s voice from a tape in which it was only him and a piano, I’m not sure it’s good enough yet to really bring this recording to a releasable quality, considering all the instrumentation and background noise on it. I’m sure it will be someday, but maybe not for another 10 years. It still needs further development, in my opinion.
It’s 100% ready…
hehehe 'mal' is a convenient acronym
i wonder if that was on purpose ?
It sounds great.
If it ain’t broke..
Early Beatles. Fresh and refreshing.
Punk rock before punk rock. I like it!
Time to break out the guitar. I love my early Beatles.🙌
Astrid my Love ❤❤❤❤
Pauls' voice...Wow!
John and George are better.
Paint peeling. All the boys sound astonding! Max Energy.
From the Quarrymen to this to Strawberry fields and Tomorrow Never Knows in such a relatively short time.
The brilliance of Epstein and Martin.
Less than 4 years. Truly scary how they advanced popular music in such a short period..
Kansas City **** yeah, yeah. Hey, hey, hey -- hey baby !!! One of my favourites at that time ... I was 15.
I have had the original record for 45+ years now so I have that sound quality imbedded in my soul. The banter, the sequence.. now I can hear the drums in the room ❤ it's like I'm there instead of listening to a tape of someone else who was there. This sounds amazingly great!!❤
So I do not remember the song Red Hot being on the record !!...
Do you know/have the live cd published by Oxtango label ? It's impossible to find it now.
No I don't.
Can hear George’s original solo!
I have a great, clear version of this, but I don't remember it sounding this good (been years since I listened to it). I also remembered it as being more distant from the stage. This is gold.
Where've you been all my Life🔥💥👍👍👍
After growing up listening to the Beatles through the sixties i got a copy of this in 1977 and it blew me away.
Should have released this right after they split up.
When people were trying to get them back together i thought it would be awesome if they did a return show and played this kind of stuff.
You’re teaching Peter Jackson a few tricks! Great job right down to Astrid’s photo. If there is a new Star Club album, they got to use all Astrid’s brilliant photography.
Peter Jackson needs me.
What a fantastic band.
Now that's Rockin!!!
Здорово 👍 рок 🎸 ролл навсегда здорово 👍
Peter Jackson bought the original tapes. He is in the process of using the mastering technique he used on the Get Back sessions to make a clear recording. Let's see if Apple will Let it Be released. Pardon the pun.
I wish I had seen "them" standing there! But, in '62 I was only 6 years old.
I remember them on Ed Sullivan 14 short months from this though!!!
I was there. Saw them 92 times between Hamburg Germany and Liverpool. Met Astrid and Stu in the Pubs after the gigs in Germany.
I thank you so much.
My dream comes true…because of you…
What a gift !…
Wow The Beatles played a lot longer sets back then. They really got got their moneys worth it.
When the Beatles came to the USA they play like what 5 to 6 songs then they were off the stage.
This is compiled from several (incomplete) sets. But yes they were playing very long sets in Hamburg.
Saw them in Toronto at Maple Leaf Gardens in maybe 64 or 65. It was 25 mins tops and you couldnt hear much as equipment was pretty poor then. But it was only 5.25 or 5.50! A movie was maybe 65 cents then
Mr. Jones... this is a triumph of skill and effort on your part. Obtaining a much higher quality source to work from is obviously a key element, but your patience, gear, and tech ability
are worthy of genuine recognition. A tribute to all who have been involved from time of recording, to re discovering, and careful preservation of the the tape. If anyone who hears what you are offering with this upload still lives in the the land of denial re: Pete Best, they have no hope of surviving in the real world. Ringo is the accelerant that allowed
a mania to explode. If this quality was available in 1977, it's likely EMI would have wanted to
issue the recording themselves.
Yes all those sad members of the Pete Best Fan Club, can't admit to themselves, how much The Beatles improved after Ringo's arrival. Pete Best's drumming on surviving Beatle recordings can be likened to someone hitting drums with a wet lettuce leaf. He had no swing, dubious timing and sat behind the drums like a preening surly peacock. Good riddance...
Hi. I obviously agree, perhaps not so much with the peacock comment,
but regarding the Pete fan club, it's more like a cult of denial or pity party.
the entire legacy of Pete's life is sad, because he had such a massive opportunity to turn his time in the Beatles into a HUGE cash cow and permanent party invitation. His brooding personality largely prevented that course of action, and is a primary reason that he had to go. @@RobBarton-np1nq
@@charlyW34 the primary reason was he wasn’t a steady enough drummer when he was recording the producer took his kick drum away because he was so unsteady on the beat
Thanks for including my response in your post! @@fourthtunz
@@RobBarton-np1nq There's such a huge difference between pre-Ringo Beatles and Ringo Beatles that to me they weren't really THE BEATLES until Ringo joined. This recording shows how great they were with Ringo, even just after he'd joined.
As for Pete Best, he might actually be lucky that they fired him. With Pete and without Ringo, The Beatles might not have been popular enough to continue - they were rejected by Decca (while Pete was the drummer) for good reason. But with Ringo, The Beatles became so big that Pete could have a nice career as "the almost Beatle". Lucky Pete.
The Beatles were a step change in how rock'n'roll was composed, performed and created, but Astrid Kirchherr and her Hamburg pals as the original Beatles fans and artistic apostles were a massive change in how it and its players were perceived, supported and its aesthetic disseminated. Her photos are phenomenal.
Outstanding job 👏👏👏👏👏
Excelente qualidade ❤
Wow this is a huge improvement over the unlistenable bootlegs I heard about 15 years ago. Very nice job!
Fantastic job, man. Peter Jackson has bought the orig tape, to Mal the mixes for poss release.
Where did old school rock roll fade to,kids don't even realize what music is 2day
@@ulyssesgrant5463 My theory is that hip-hop takes so little training -- it's perfect for today's instant gratification world.
I'm anxiously awaiting a high-tech cleaned-up release of the 1958 recording of The Quarrymen's (w/Paul & George) performance with Lennon singing That'll Be The Day by Buddy Holly, AND the July 6th 1957 incomplete recordings of The Quarrymen (before Paul & George joined, Paul was there watching and met John, auditioned and joined) with Lennon singing Puttin' On The Style (Lonnie Donegan's #1 hit at that time) and
Baby Let's Play House (Elvis's hit).
It would be so cool if Lennon's discography is extended back to 1957!
Dig the double shot of Harrison at the mike!
The Starrs were in line pun intended that Ringo ended up in this band. Nothing against Pete and he has his place in rock and roll history but this band was perfect for Ringo on every level. It really shows here.
Ringo must have been special when you look all the other drummers who passed through this band’s history.
Horses for courses.
I like to say ' John Lennon did not want Rich Starkey in his band just because he was funny '
Aware of Best. Were there more?@@thekitowl
Many bands would borrow available musicians to fill in, out of necessity or just for fun. Told to me by Gibbo and girlfriend Astrid K circa 2007 Hamburg.
A bit sloppy at moments but I think if these guys keep practicing they have some potential. Joking of course this is live and not meant to be perfection like studio. Have to hand it to Ringo though.. he might be the only member I didn't notice a single mistake with.
Yeah, and witness his astounding work at the end of "Long Tall Sally", where he really goes bananas!
Ringo is solid. He's a metronome. Watch him during those scream fests where nobody can hear themselves. Ringo is still in time. Any drummer worth their salt throw props to Ringo.
It is Pete Best on drums, isn't i? Well it sounds great..
@@mebeasensei No, it's Ringo. This is December 1962. Ringo entered the group in August.
VERY GOOD!
ONCE AGAIN, THANKS FOR POSTING AND SHARING! If I find one more Beatles recording of this quality, from this era of the band, I'm going to SUBSCRIBE to your channel!
What are you waiting for? Sub now!
SOUNDS GREAT! The quality and clarity here is amazing!!!!!!! thanks.
Was für eine wundervolle Harmonie die beste Band mit den stones ever da warn die Jungs grade 20 da kannste den schrott von heute vergessen
Jawohl.
simplement genial tous leur debut le son est tres bon merci peter de la part d"un francais de 74 ans j"adore merci vive le rock de ces annees
Merci beaucoup. Très heureux que vous ayez apprécié.
great job , sounds great !
Punk fifteen years before punk.
That's a fact. I always felt that the Beatles during their residency in Hamburg that they had that punk attitude. Here's a fun fact - John Lennon liked the Sex Pistols

Great work Peter! If the other Peter would just turn his MAL loose on this project, I'd take that over world peace any day!
Bon travail en effet. Merci
The song "I Saw Her Standing There" is probably incorrectly titled. The song was know as "Seventeen" until it was recorded in February 1963 (it was even listed as such on the EMI recording details on the day they recorded their first album)
Confirmed in The Complete Beatle Recording Sessions.
Great, man!
Unici e inimitabili.
Both thumbs up! I've been a fan of the Star Club tapes since they first came out on double LPs (still have two of them). You did a wonderful job, both with volume levels and sequencing. Thanks for sharing!
Thanksalot❤
Irresistible!
The best record of The Beatles I've ever heard
I was a kid in Europe the spring of 68. I stayed in a hostel not far from the Star Club. Of course the Beatles were long gone, but it looked just like the dive it was a few years earlier, hookers everywhere. Hamburg was a pretty rough port city then. Germany was still ascending from the rubble of WW2. They were doing a hell of a lot better than England though. I lived in the East End for the rest of the year. It looked like the bombing had ended just the week before. Wages were crap. I got 8 pounds 14 shillings a week after tax. Barely covered my beer! A friends girlfriend work for the law firm that handled Johns divorce. I remember seeing copies of birth certificates, and other records like marriage documents. Thats when I found out that Johns middle name was Winston. I agree with the comment below that this would make for a great piece of vinyl if it was cleaned up a bit more
très bon son : étonnant !
-' Whisper to Mimi.... it's alright with you!!'
❤
Is das nich egal wie alt man is oder war ich war vier aber die musik is zeitlos schön und Menschen in 1000 jahren werden sie noch genauso lieben wie wir weil sie schön ist wie Beethoven Bach oder Mozart oder etwa nich schade das junge Menschen nur ihre Handys ansehen nich ma wissen wiene Amsel singt oder Frosch quackt
YOU CAME TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ONE SUMEEER NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT !!!!!!
Wow, two versions of Seventeen, ( I saw her standing there) I had the double LP released in the late 70s and the first version was not included as it is here. So this is a real treat to hear the other version for the first time.......oh and yes, the overall sound quality is vastly improved.......It would be great if you could clean up the rest of the songs that they performed on this set and post them here as well......
Peter Jackson already overthinking on clean this piece of history and 1st the Esher demos sound cool but we need this now clean 🎉🎉🎉
My god, the Ramones were a slight aftershock compared to this.
I always felt that the Ramones were a copy cat of this sound, just sped up.....not truly punk.
клёво!!
May I firstly say thank you x infinity for sharing this. Can I ask please; do you have knowledge of who was on the drums in this recording? Pete Best? I know Ringo joined them in 1962, I don’t know if he ever played any gigs with them in Hamburg? If it is Pete Best, then as a drummer myself, I would have to say he fulfilled the role on drums well and quite solidly. That’s not to say had Best been kept on that he would come up with iconic drum parts that Ringo did; eg Ticket To Ride, In My Life, Come Together, Tomorrow Never Knows (the title is attributed to one of Ringo’s many malapropism’s) and many other tracks.😊
It's Ringo. He'd been with the group for four months.
Is that Pete Best drumming? Sounds too good.
No it's Ringo, This is December 62. Ringo joined in late August.
I was going to ask the same thing. I never remembered Pete playing this good but I thought it was too early to be Ringo. These early recordings really show the difference between the two. Pete was not a bad drummer but Ringo is Ringo and so right for this band. A human drum machine with taste.
It’s in time …..can’t possibly be Mr Best
Da hamse noch fürn paar Mark ganzen Abend bis fünf mal Auftritt echt geschuftet und sind entsprechend ausgebeutet worden
Hopefully Peter Jackson can improve these now that he has them.
More likely Mr Martin will work on this, along with Mr Jackson’s technology.
My Girl is Red Hot, Your Girl ain't doodle squat
Musicianship-wise, they were already ready for Sullivan !
George hits a clunker at 23:50
No estaban muy entusiasmados en éste concierto en particular, la muerte de Stud y la serie de conciertos que tenían por delante en teatros ... fueron a Hamburgo por que Brian lo tenia comprometido.
2:09 chuck was never far away
4:09
They played Chuck Berrys 'Talkin' 'Bout You" twice that night ( 34:57 and 54:54 ) or was this from several shows ?
Of course I posted this question before I noticed the '... More' option, but all the same ?
There were several recordings made on different nights.
that final moment is nearly Iggy and the Stooges punk!
If Peter Jackson could remover the beatle voices, and add them to this recording. You could hear their voices clearer. Just a thought.
Is that Astrid Kircher on the cover?
Yes.
Paul stole the show!
dO YOU MEAN STOLEN From... rINGO sTARR, gEORGE hARRISON aND jOHN lENNON?
Who made the recording?
Gotta say it…George’s lead playing is often pretty insipid. And I’m a HUGE Beatles fan.
Who's playing the Hammond organ?
Ena Sharples.
Who was playing the B3 at 3:59 ?
Most likely John Lennon.
I think it’s Paul!
Who is singing Matchbox? Does not sound like Ringo
John sings Matchbox here.
Sounds earlier than Dec ‘62………… no Lov me Do ?
It's definitely December 62. That's Ringo on drums without any doubt. They may well have performed Love Me Do in Hamburg, but no complete sets were recorded.
……with Gratitude my friend ✊🏼
Не плохо. А я то думаю откуда взялся Сержант Пэппер.....
What's interesting is to hear the U.S. top 10 songs from December, '62 and compare it with this. th-cam.com/video/0BuQVTk26Ow/w-d-xo.html
Can someone make an AI of this album
It might just happen, as this is now part of Rock history.
Is this really 1962? Saw Her Standing There was probably not until 1963 I think.
Not wishing to criticize you, George - there was quite a time difference between when groups like The Beatles back then played a song live in Germany or even Liverpool and when they eventually recorded it.
There's an even earlier version of I Saw Her Standing There - a rehearsal session at the Cavern in late 62.
B@@peterjones9700 Well, I dug out my copy of The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions. They worked on a bunch of songs in the studio in Sept snd Oct 1962 and Jan 1963, none of which were Saw Her Standing There. They worked on Saw Her Standing There on Feb 11th and 25th 1963, and the first album was released on March 22, 1963 in England. They performed gigs at The Star club in Hamburg in June 1962 for their first gigs at The Star, and from Dec 18 to Dec 31, 1962 according to online research and TCBRS. So, this recording from the Dec 1962 gigs is after they had started recording songs for the first album but before they recorded Saw Her Standing There in studio inFeb 1963. So, I stand corrected, by myself as well as you guys! There is also an interview with Paul in TCBRS, where he is asked when they wrote Saw Her Standing There, and he says he and John "sagged off school" and wrote it at Paul's house apparently playing hooky from school, which supports the info above from you both about timing of writing and playing vs recording. Are there any tapes of the June 1962 Star Club gigs?
@@georgestevens1502"Are there any tapes of the June 1962 Star Club gigs?"
No.
@@georgestevens1502 It was so worth playing hooky for lol. Aunt Mimi probably didn't agree back then.
Would somebody use AI to reprocess this recording and make it sound natural?
Peter Jackson will.
Whether we get to hear it is a more difficult question.
I don't believe this was at the star club.
Pete Best !
This is definitely Ringo!
It's Ringo
Pete was sacked in August 1962, this is December 1962. Ringo on drums.
Is Stu Sutcliffe in this recording somewhere?
No, it's John, Paul, George and Ringo.
Ringo wasn't with them in Germany@@peterjones9700
This is their last stint in Hamburg in December 62. Ringo had been with them for 4 months. Stu was unavailable.@@pedroguedes3834
Stu died on 10 April 1962, this recording is from December 1962.
@@pedroguedes3834 He was, here at the Star Club. First of the two last engagements was 2 weeks in November 1962, the second was 2 weeks in December 1962. These recordings are from maybe two December shows.
WOW!!! George's guitar solo on I Saw Her Standing There. is horrible !!!!!! lol, he always had a hard time with lead guitar on original songs, he knew NO scales to help him out -most of the time he would steal carl Perkins or chuck berry solo's
He was probably dealing with heavy strings & a wound third G string.
@@danh.8490It's true!
sure ....it would have been much better if you had played it.....
Yes, this right by the time I was 11 years old I knew all the scales and how to use them- George never had lessons, he took all his guitar licks from Carl and Chuck, so when the Beatle wrote songs that did not have the one three five chord progression, George did not know what to do so he had to play by trying to hear the solo in his head then find the notes that hard to do@@user-io5tv1rv4v
WOW, George really sucked on lead guitar, I never really knew how bad he was-
He was 18 or 19 cut him some!
Dude, he was 19 years old and it's the true rock"n Roll. Dig it!
@@2JorgeBeat Oh, in thatches he is great
You are obviously new to The Beatles and the tons of solo albums George has released. 2 solo albums #1 3 singlessolo #1. I think the greatest guitar players are "Players" and "Soloist only". Oh, Being a professional musician also there are so MANY things that can't make a person have an off night. This sounds just like an off night, to me.
What a great sonic upgrade from earler versions
