I first heard these recordings in 1975 in Waterloo, Liverpool; being a sucker for anything by the lads, I also went to the next public airing in Southport a few months later. For those wondering what the hell I'm on about; Alan Williams hawked these tapes around various venues and made a night out of them, and then had a q and a session afterwards. It was great! I remember sitting there listening to 'A Taste of Honey' as I sat in the Civic Hall with pint of lager. I went on of course to buy this album on vinyl. The lo-lo-lo lowest of all fi this side of the Doric did not bother me in the least. What amused me later, but seemed to enrage others, was that Alan Williams and the producers of the album got caught out trying to pass the tapes off as being before the Beatles were signed to EMI and that Ringo was just sitting in. It soon came out that it was in fact tapes made of a few nights during their unwanted last contracted residency, late 62 / early 63, and sadly for Alan Williams and co, that put a bad dent in their hopes, as it was removed from shelves some time later. I think it's fully legal now, at least I would hope so seeing as it's on here. Ok, the songs themselves. Poor in the main, both performance and sound, but there are a few bright spots. You'll like 'I Saw Her Standing There' and you'll love the surprise clarity of 'A Taste of Honey', you'll cringe but smile at the howler from George on 'Roll Over Beethoven, but over all, you'll love it for the simple fact is it's a piece of history.

It's exciting to hear the boys in this live at the beginning of their rise to fame..makes me want to go back in time
