In the concluding part of our investigation into The Beatles’ much-debated Star-Club album, Dr Hans Olof Gottfridsson and Richard Moore dig into the detail of what was actually on the original tape.

This is the second part of a two-part story about The Beatles’ Star-Club recordings, Hamburg, in December 1962. What follows is the first complete review of the recordings found on the Star-Club tape in their original recorded order. This has been made possible with the kind help of Larry Grossberg, director and producer of the Lingasong releases, and Robert Auld of Auldworks, who recently made digital transfers of open reel work copies of the Star-Club tape.
