The Beatles / Early Years (1)

What you are now holding in your hands is effectively a large slice of pop history ... this album contains ten songs given the inimitable Beatles treatment, blemishes and all. Many of the songs were to appear later on the group's first studio albums for Parlophone, EMI, and became essential conclusions in the stage performances during the ensuing months after they swept to success with Love Me Do and Please Please Me, others had seemingly been lost for all time, at least until the production of this album which now enables everyone to hear the Beatles as they were during those long-ago but still raw and exciting years when every group from Liverpool worth its salt was attempting to become part of the Hamburg Scene
