Many comments saying how incredibly fast they improved from this to what they eventually became. To me personally it’s quite the opposite, the “Essence”…the “Genius” that is/was The Beatle is already very evident in these recordings. Do they go on to hone-in and perfect their sound and sophistication? Yes, of course. But to me this is more “The Beatles” because it’s more raw, unsophisticated, untamed, not overly produced, etc. etc. this is the “Spark” that ushered in everything that happened afterward. If I could go back in time to see the Beatles, I would choose the Hamburg gigs or the Cavern Club performances. That to me is the essence of The Beatles. John himself said in an interview when asked about paying their dues in Hamburg and he said…”We never rocked harder or sounded better”. (paraphrasing).

Hearing this, Pete evidently was a perfectly serviceable drummer and a well timed anchor for the others to develop their technical chops hour after hour after hour. Ringo helped/contributed bringing their compositions to new creative heights. They did the right thing hiring Ringo, I mean it ALL came together eventually didn't it, to create the best show business act of the 20th century and into this one too. That's certainly nothing against Mr Pete Best. Ringo had an uncanny ability to listen to what was being created around him and to flesh out what was needed for the whole concept of these fresh forming ideas. Each song was different, sometimes extremely so. That wouldn't have happened as well without Mr Starkey.

Here a little hint with the dates. Paul Recalls that he came home with John To write some songs for the future in September of 62. He played and Early Draft of a song title Seventeen (I Saw her Standing there) the Opening line was “She was just seventeen, never been a beauty Queen” and John Busted out laughing and said to Paul “Your Joking with the Lyrics?” John Helped Come of with the line “You Know what I mean” which we clearly here on the tape. Later that year they also went on tour in Hamburg during the second half of December 1962 (Where the Star Club Tapes were recorded) where we now have a much faster paced version of I Saw Saw her Standing There. This Palaces the Date of the Tape Between September, and December of 1962

Really love the energy and tempo of this one. John plays background harmonica instead of rhythm guitar. Finally there's a couple of jumpin' versions of the One After 909, a song that remained dormant until the band needed reminding of exactly why they enjoyed playing with each other during the tail end of the "Let It Be / Get Back" sessions.

Those microphones you see are Reslo ribbon mics (maybe under a different name at that time, STC?). A little hard to tell but it's possible that the instrumental sound we're hearing there is picked up on those mics and the vocal sound is more distorted because they're singing close on those. One reason I say this is that it sounds like the vocals are not recorded distant from speakers. And those microphones are figure of a pattern so the back of the microphones picks up equally as well as the front. Less chance of over modulating from the room sound.

This presentation is from a much clearer source than I have previously heard. With due respect to nowpleasereadthis who posted below, I seriously doubt this particular recording features Pete Best. There may be other earlier rehearsal sessions from the cavern on which Pete did play, but the performance here is simply too solid and on the mark to sound like Pete. None of his silly, inappropriate fills are evident, and the drummer here keeps pretty much flawless time. Pete had problems keeping the beat steady on the kick drum in particular. listen carefully to this performance and you will hear an assuredness of the kick drum beat that is Ringo's trademark. Ringo did officially join in Aug. of '62, so there was more that enough time for him to take part in an early rehearsal such as this. My guess is that this recording took place within days of his addition to the group. (Because it never hurts to check, and because I'm never 100% certain of my pretty well researched opinions, I looked up the history of this recording. Richie Unterberger, a well known rock scholar, confirms it was recorded AFTER Ringo joined the group.) Unterberger, Richie (2006). The Unreleased Beatles: Music and Film. Backbeat Books

This is EXHIBIT A - Z that "practice makes perfect". These boys must've practiced for hours & hours nearly every day, working on their chops, licks, tones, harmonies, intros, leads, bass clefs, and most importantly, their tightness. RESULT: A Hard Day's Night, Revolver, Rubber Soul, Help, Magical Mystery Tour, Sgt. Peppers, Abbey Road, Let It Be. There will never, EVER be another band like the Beatles...because it takes this much devotion, focus, and a love for humanity... and a positivity.

@@garyolafson8303Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn says Paul began writing this in October 1962. It was completed about a month later at Paul's house in collaboration with John. It's well known that John changed the second line to 'And you know what I mean' so this recording was definitely not before November 1962. Pete last played with them on 15th August so it's definitely not him. I suppose it's possible someone else was sitting in for Ringo but I've never read that anywhere. I think it's likely that it was just Ringo feeling his way as the song was very new to all of them.

Dang! George was so good. He's 18 here. Such confident playing, creative parts, fearless in his reach. This was the beginning of a very optimistic period in the country - especially for a little kid like I was. Flintstones, Jetsons, NASA, 67 dollar Teisco guitars for sale in dime stores - Vox Teardrops, too. Pocket size transistor radios, Beatles blaring through dozens of them along the beach. All was peaceful - out here in the Burbs, anyway. Then, POOF!
