There's a number of TS/Beat Brother CDs out there these days, and I suppose I need to have one for the collection. Any suggestions as to which is the best sounding compilation? Thanks.

I have the 'The Early Tapes Of The Beatles' CD on the Polydor label with a track listing of -

Anit She Sweet
Cry For A Shadow
When The Saints Go Marching In
Why
If You Love Me Baby
What'd I Say
Sweet Georgia Brown
Lets Dance
Ruby Baby
My Bonnie
Nobodys Child
Ready Teddy
Ya Ya
Kansas City

I'm actually surprised of the sound quality (its good). If you want, drop me a pm with your address and i'll burn you a copy and send it to you. If not, I would recommend this copy.

Thanks my friend, I appreciate the offer/recommendation.

the new star club release is good.........

this one.......

Quoted from pc31

this one.......

Is that the live Star Club recordings and the studio Tony Sheridan stuff?

no its just the tony sheridan stuff.with interviews from tony,astrid and a few others.
it has all the songs plus the extended ya ya,kansas city,skinny minny,ready teddy and swannee river.
i am waiting for a better live star club album to be released.
but this one is worth the buy......

I need to pick up that new release Marshall. Sounds good. I agree with you about waiting on a new live Star Club disc, as the one I have is dismal. Heres the one I have.



The track listing is as follows-

1. Roll Over Beethoven
2. Ask Me Why
3. Lend Me Your Comb
4. Where Have You Been All My Life
5. Taste Of Honey, A
6. I'm Talking About You
7. Twist And Shout
8. Red Sails In The Sunset
9. I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Cry (Over You)
10. Matchbox
11. Long Tall Sally

edit: which is the same album tk mentioned earlier  

I think these recordings show that pete best wasn't such a bad drummer after all.  

early but good

I was thinking about getting that early tapes one, but it was like $16.00 for only a few "Beatles" songs on it, so... meh.

I'm sure that only the Anthology selections actually had The Beatles on them.
