1962 Live at the Star Club in Hamburg Reviews:
Oldie but a goodie 
2008-06-04 - This is a great CD for a someone that truly likes everything Beatles. The sound quality is low but to get to hear raw live Beatles is worth it.
Rare edition 
2008-03-07 - This is a collector's item of the Beatles at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany 1962. However, there are so many recordings that add and omit songs done at this destination. So if you're a die-hard Beatles fan this is worth it because it is rare, but you have to watch out for the songs that are included on this CD and on the other Star Club Hamburg CDs.
Fantastic - a must-have for the serious Beatles fan.
2007-05-16 - Though I am certain that there is some material missing from the actual performance on this CD, what is here is fantastic- fairly clear, considering the conditions under which they were recorded, and a vital look at The Beatles in their early years. "Shimmy Shake" is an amazing piece to hear them perform... so different than the material that made them famous. I wish the CD was complete, but what is here is fantastic. If you're serious about The Beatles, you NEED this CD!
incomplete concert!! 
2007-02-26 - I HAD the original two-LP set; my favorite song was the one chosen as the opener for the LP: "Gonna Sit Right Down and Cry Over You". With THAT song missing! this CD is pointless to me. When are they gonna release the WHOLE thing??!
The Magical Mystery Tour
2006-09-21 - The Star Club performance has bounced around in some form since the 1970s, initially as a double-album import on the Lingasong Records label. The sound quality was very rough, but the liner notes and photographs were outstanding and the gig featured the lineup with Ringo on drums.
The historical significance was immense and I believe it still remains the earliest released live recording of the Fab Four. If I recall, The Beatles were unaware that the gig was being recorded and plans to release the performance once Beatlemania swept through England was nixed because of the poor sound quality.
The tape was stored for years in a Liverpool office - certainly not helping to retain the already bootleg-like recording - and was recovered from a building that was slated to be torn down by original Beatles manager Allan Williams. He sold the recording to Lingasong.
It then got interesting once the double-album was released in Europe and available as an import in the U.S. The record company ended up in litigation over ownership issues of the tape and I last saw the performance split into two separate albums on another record label.
And the Star Club performance seems to have a lifespan tied to the court system; it pops up in some form, then becomes unavailable due to a tug-of-war, only to resurface again years later.
But through it all it remains a gem, since there are few opportunities to hear the early stages of what became the British Invasion.
