BEATLES - Live! At The Star-Club In Hamburg, Germany, 1962 (2LP) - GERMAN Bellaphon 1977 1st Press - NEAR MINT VINTAGE VINYL

ANALOGUE SOUND! Very rare, absolutely first release on German Bellaphon from 1977 in a laminated gatefold sleeve, with text only inside the gatefold (the second pressing had a photo of the band and text) and in practically perfect condition! This German original came out several months earlier than the British edition! It is worth remembering that the album, running over an hour, contained a unique performance by The Beatles (with Ringo Starr on drums) recorded at the legendary Hamburg club on 31 December 1962 (the band, who already had the single "Love Me Do" to their name, had to play engagements contracted long before) and it is a musical delight for every fan of the Fab Four! Apart from several tracks known from the "Please Please Me" LP, recorded just a month later, the group performed plenty of pop and rock and roll standards. The sound quality is very good, though not perfect, but you can hear everything wonderfully! The record will never be officially released, because as a result of years of action by The Beatles, it was withdrawn from the music market by a court ruling over 20 years ago! Practically perfect condition! The laminated gatefold sleeve has just a few creases near the edges: a strong EXCELLENT+ / Records like new: MINT(-) / MINT(-)
