Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally recorded in 1961 during the band's formative Hamburg residency, these historic sessions predate their global stardom and feature Pete Best on drums. Operating primarily as the backing group for the English rock and roll singer Tony Sheridan, the raw, heavily rhythmic recordings offer an invaluable glimpse into the gritty, sweat-soaked club origins of the future pop pioneers.
