Synopsis

Product Description
2-CD LP-sized box set with 120-page hardcover book. This set was issued exactly 40 years after the Liverpool foursome (still without Ringo & billed as the Beat Brothers) issued their first recordings with Tony Sheridan. Legendary producer Bert Kaempfert recorded the now-famous songs, and they were released on Polydor. This set includes 38 tracks, with alternate versions, and a wealth of mixes & variations that existed in several archives around the world. The book contains very rare documents, single picture sleeves & rare photos telling the story of these songs, and the four young men from Liverpool who would soon change the world.

I would give this a six if I could

"I had written about "Beatles' First [DELUXE EDITION] [LIMITED EDITION]" . At that time I had made a statement about it couldn't get any better. I was wrong Beatles Bop - Hamburg Days Special Edition is way superior. Bear Family Records did a superb job with this release. A tad bit expensive but well worth it if you can swing the dough. I believe they got their hands on every recording and version stereo and mono during this period that the Beatles recorded. Then to top things off a beautiful Hard Cover Book that does a fantastic job explaining The Beatles of that era, every one associated with them including, dates, people by name, where, the songs, the versions, when recorded, when released, the contracts, just about anything you would care to know. They pulled information from interviews, magazines, newspapers, and books. It appears that a lot of effort went into putting this together. The pictures are stunning and there are a lot. All this to me makes Beatles Bop - the Hamburg Days worth the money. Bear Family Records certainly has set the mark for box sets and putting the puzzle together for this period of The Beatles. That said, Who can take the lead and pick up from were this ends and go a couple of more years? There is just as much confusion in this period that could be cleared up. Also it would be nice if they did something like this for the Star-Club tapes."
Just wonderful

"You can't get a more complete copy of the fab 4 during the Hamburg days with Tony Sheridan.These recordings were done right,they sound as good as any analog recording you'll ever hear and as a bonus you get a high quality hard cover book full of rare pictures and facts.I started to just buy the CD's but when I saw the book I was glad I didn't."
