Possible release for 15 unissued Beatles tunes

Fuego Entertainment of Miami intends to release 15 previously unreleased live tunes recorded by the Beatles in 1962 at Hamburg's Star Club. These tunes, reportedly feature Ringo Starr subbing for the group's then-drummer Pete Best. Songs include covers of Hank Williams' "Lovesick Blues" and Maurice Williams' "Do You Believe," along with "Twist and Shout", "I Saw Her Standing There", "Hippy Hippy Shake", "A Taste of Honey", "Money" and "Ask Me Why."

No release date is set, but I'm sure the Beatles' Apple Corps. will be fighting this tooth and nail. A previous collection of Star Club recordings released in the 1970s made the band very unhappy and has been available since only on gray area/quasi bootleg releases. The sound quality was lousy and I doubt these unreleased recordings sound much better.

More.
