Comments:

These will never be Studio quality , but here they are presented in a way that not only is very listenable but also enjoyable. nevr thought Iwould ever say that.The liner notes really say it all , this is by far the best release of this material to date and if you get the opportunity, don't think not yet another Star Club release, pick it but rememberAs always, Purple Chick discs are fan created and NEVER FOR SALE.

It should be noted that he rear tray art does not show the NON Beatles tracks and the inner cover artwork was slowly tweaked to completion with three versions circulating .

Reason for Upgrade

Here's what happened.....

The full third version of "A Taste Of Honey",magically appeared, just after Star Club was released. It turns out that some dialogue that we placed on disc one belongs just before it. So we cut it out of disc one, put it at the end of "Hippy Hippy Shake" and did a minor tweak to "Money" just for the sake of continuity. A change of the info file and inside artwork to reflect this, and we're all done.

So to recap the following tracks were updated :

Disc 1 - Track 19, Falling Love with You

Disc 2 Tracks 15 -17 , Hippy Hippy Shake , A Taste Of Honey , Money

Liner Notes:

We tried to make sure every Star Club sound was accounted for, but not repeated: auditioning many “Live At The Star Club” CDs and LPS on a number of labels. Even so, we used Darthdisc’s unprocessed tape wherever possible. As well as offering upgrades and previously unheard chat “Red Hot,” though still incomplete, is twice as long as before. “Red Sails…” now has an extra verse compared with the released version, while “I Saw Her Standing There” on disc two has an extra guitar solo. Conversely, we removed looped portions of “I’m Gonna Sit Right Down…”, “Twist And Shout” and “I Remember You.”

It’s by no means perfect, but it’s the best we have at the moment. And it’s the first time we’ve listened to the Star Club tapes in years. Hopefully you’ll gain a new appreciation for these historic recordings as well.

All tracks mono, at the correct speed, and eq’d for the most coherent listening experience. Enjoy!

As always, Purple Chick discs are fan created and NEVER FOR SALE.
