Early Tapes Reviews:
I Kinda Like It! 
2008-05-05 - As a Beatles CD, this isn't much. Sure, They appear on 8 tracks, But 6 of those tracks feature lead vocals by Tony Sheridan. But, As an example of early 60's Rock'N'Roll, It's Fab! Tony Sheridan is/was a great singer, Sounding much like a british version of Elvis Presley. I think the fact that The Beatles appear as a backing back on some of the tracks should be considered a "Bonus". Also, There are 2 tracks which feature The Beatles alone, "Ain't She Sweet" which features a great vocal by John Lennon, and an instrumental called "Cry for a Shadow". It's all fun music, and I'd give it 5/5 but selling it as a Beatles compilation is a little bit of a cheat. Then again, What do I know? I'm only 17.
I hate this album 
2004-11-18 - To think that they have two failed LP's whcih have since been dubbed 'Birth of a legend' and 'Yellow Matter Custard' in their pockets and the only rare stuff we get is THe Beatles with Tony Sheridan. This album is worth steeringh clear of. The Beatles only appear properly on two songs, the first two songs. On the other twelve songs Tony Sheridan is the lead vocalist and only half fo those song feature the Beatles on backing. The 'Beat Brothers' are not the Beatles. Oh, by the way, Birth of a legend is an early 1962 LP that they cut for Decca, who didn't sign them, and the BBC didn't sign them on the strength of 'Yellow Matter Custard', which it wasn't originally called. Third time lucky, I suppose. But even if they aren't as good as Please Please Me or Sergeant Pepper, they are two LP's made up entirely of Beatles songs, and the public and the fans deserve to have these two albums released!
The best collection of the early tapes of the Beatles on cd 
2001-07-17 - This is a brilliant cd. it gave me great pleasure to listen to. it shows a completely different side to the beatles style. As the backers!! This is the only collection of offical beatles recordings that EMI, Parlophone, and Apple Records do not have control over. do not let the different label put you off buying this cd. just as much work has gone into the restoration of these tracks as goes into any Apple or EMI Beatles album.this disk would be a sound investment for any Beatles fan and would be a good and well recommended addition to there collection
