This comes from our joint venture with R&B Records, a label which has established a reputation for comprehensive and excellently packaged R&B and rock n' roll compilations. This continues a series of CDs analysing the songs and styles that inspired The Beatles. Following ""Quarrymen 1 & 2"" which looked at their skiffle and early r&r roots, this collection sees them broadening out to include some Latin-influenced 'uptown R&B' numbers then in vogue, along with rockabilly and some gospel-influenced material. When the Beatles went to Hamburg, they were playing up to six, even 8 hours a day, and to keep themselves sane, they tried never to repeat songs in their several nightly sets. They had the biggest repertoire of all the bands in Hamburg, maybe as many as 600 songs. Their wide repertoire also enabled them to play many different kinds of UK gigs ? jazz clubs, folk clubs, working men's clubs church dances etc.. They were avid collectors of the latest American releases ? Brian Epstein's NEMS record shop in Liverpool prided themselves on stocking every record released in the UK, as well as some imports ? and so heard songs that the average bands were unaware of. This collection, complete with a comprehensive and beautifully illustrated 32-page booklet, is a fascinating selection of the original versions of the kind of material The Beatles drew on for their sets, some of which they also later recorded.

another spectacular collection of original recordings
The "Beginnings" series strikes again with another spectacular collection of original recordings that in this case inspired or influenced The Beatles. This is the third in a 6-disc set on The Beatles. As with others in the series (2 on the Rolling Stones and one each on The Kinks and The Who), the accompanying booklet has extremely thorough and welcome annotation. It breaks down the tracks into 8 categories: Beatles studio recording; Radio broadcast; Beatles solo recording; Demo or studio outtake; Performed Live; Live Recording Available; Influential on Beatles recording; and Get Back Sessions. I applaud whomever performed the extensive research that resulted in these fascinating choices. I hope that History of RnB Records is planning discs on The Yardbirds, The Animals and Jimi Hendrix as well.Their other series, "How Britain Got the Blues", is every bit as good (if not better; each of the four sets in this series is a 2-disc musical adventure). Bravo to History of RnB Records for these releases and the outstanding musical scholarship that accompanies them.William Stout

von den querrymans zu den beatles
der titel ist etwas irreführend. man erwartet natürlich musik der frühen beatlesdas heist musiktitel von anderen interpreten , die 1960 von den frühen beatles gespielt wurden da sie nochkeine eigenproduktionen im programm hatten.ansonsten eine gute auswahl und jedem zu empfehlen der sich für diese schnelllebige zeit interessiert
