Comments :	A 3 C.D. + 1 DVD Deluxe Edition - Reconstructed by John Baron Reith This is a mock stereo version of The Beatles Live at The Star Club in Hamburg recordings. The digital stereo processing allows you to discern each instrument better than previous mono releases of this material. This release also includes a re-mastered stereo version of all of the U.S. Star Club singles released in 1982 and a great DVD. In an essential article about the tapes in Record Collector, spread over two issues in the summer of 2015, the most intense examination and research was made and identified. Finally after 53 years, Hans Olof Gottfridsson together with Richard Moore had been allowed to use the notes of Larry Grossberg, producer and director of the initial Lingasong 1977 releases, and were able to present the complete running order of the original tape. Record Collector - Star Club Recordings The Reel Story - Part 1 Record Collector - Star Club Recordings The Reel Story - Part 2 The new information in Record Collector about the correct running order of the songs in the Star Club sets have inspired Beatlefans to compile a revised album. The makers of "Zu Laut !" have risen to the occasion and presented two new editions of the album, one in mono and one in stereo. In the inner page of the CD booklet, they have also included information about the missing songs, as described in Grossberg's notes and Gottfridsson's article. After the publication of the article, further listening has revealed that the four notes at the start of "I Remember You" on the Lingasong set actually turns out to be the start of "Glad All Over" ! This now constitutes the first ever Star Club Beatles compilation, unofficial or official, that presents the tracks (at least within each section/set) in their correct running order. Some of the songs that were tape damaged or had missing notes have had these reconstructed, however the originals are also included for historical accuracy. The DVD contains a load of 1966 interviews with Peter Eckhorn, Manfred Weissleder, Hans Walther Braun (who plays part of his tape) and Bettina the barmaid from the Star Club. For the first time these interviews have been translated and are presented with selectable subtitles. It also has an 80 minutes slideshow with about 200 photos covering their time in Hamburg from 1960 to 1962, set to the soundtrack of the c.d.'s, plus an onscreen transcript of what is being sung and spoken. The transcript shows up on screen by default but can be disabled if you just wish to view the pictures. Other material on the DVD includes:      Archival footage of the Reeperbahn and Grosse Freiheit.      A guided tour of Grosse Freiheit with Tony Sheridan.      A 1972 Nationwide feature on the Star Club tapes.      A five minute sequence shot inside the Star Club for the TV series Hafenpolizei in 1962.      Footage shot inside the Top Ten and Star Club in 1966.      Bruno Koschmider's films of the Bambi, Indra and Kaiserkeller, and colour footage of the Reeperbahn and Grosse Freiheit from 1959. There is an 12 page card booklet with a few old pictures, the tracklist and a more detailed write-up. The booklet also includes: The Story Of The Star Club Tapes by Charles Repka. Article and pictures of two of Ted "Kingsize" Taylor's reel-to-reel tape recorders. Pictures and story of the actual tapes. p.s. All credit to Lord Reith for putting it all together.
