Track 1 - 15 Monday, January 1, 1962, Decca Studios, London

Track 16 - 20 Rehearsal, early 1962, Cavern Club, Mathew Street, Liverpool

All tracks taken from original tapes and digitally reprocessed for CD

1991 Yellow Dog Records, Luxembourg

This is Yellow Dog's first 'Decca Tapes' release. The sound quality is very good and back in 1991 it was the best CD to get for these recordings. The tracks are running at the wrong speed though. To make this CD even more attractive the Yellow Dog included an early 1962 rehearsal at the Liverpool Cavern Club of 5 songs (3 different ones actually). These were booted before on vinyl and on a CD of inferior sound quality so this release was much sought after.
