This was late 1962 and on these tapes they are only playing for around 45 minutes to 1 hour.

The tapes were done over several days by King Taylor. The one here is the edited version

with only Beatles performance(s). The Beatles challenged the release

and said they didn't know they were being recorded.You have most of it correct.

Portions of The Beatles' final Star-Club performances (along with other acts)

were recorded by the club's stage manager, Adrian Barber, for Ted Taylor.

Ted Taylor said Lennon verbally agreed to the group being recorded in exchange

for Taylor providing the beer during their performances (which sounds perfectly

plausible). Allen Williams (The Beatles' booking agent at the time) recalled that

a total of about three hours was recorded over three or four sessions between

Christmas and New Year's Eve.

Love Me Do had been released, and the Beatles (contractually obligated to fulfill the gigs

for November and December) were reluctant to go to Germany, as their popularity was beginning to climb.

Taylor said he had offered to sell the tapes to Epstein in the mid-1960s, but that Epstein

did not consider them to be of commercial value and offered only £20. Ted Kingsize

Taylor, started to market the tapes in 1973. The tapes were eventually bought by

Paul Murphy, head of Buk Records. Murphy formed a new company, Lingasong,

offshore, specifically for the project as he anticipated a lawsuit.

Murphy made up a BS story that the Tapes
