the albums

The 3rd appearance of the Hamburg tapes (officially) in the UK, this album includes the entire recording requested by Ted "Kingsize" Taylor. Although the cover credits the Fab Four as the performers, it also includes Stu Sutcliffe in those credits. If the shout heard between "Sweet Little Sixteen" and "Lend Me Your Comb" is of any value, then " "Christmas comes but once a year, when it does it brings good cheer" " indicates December 1962. I find it extremely doubtful that after suffering a brain hemorrhage in April of 1962, Stu was anywhere near a stage.
