5.0 out of 5 stars A nice addition to your Beatles collection., November 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Beginning (Audio CD)

The sound quality is absolutely stunning on this new edition of The Beatles/ Sheridan recordings. The Original Beatles with drummer Pete Best made a fine debut on two classic recordings here.("Cry For A Shadow" and "Ain't She Sweet".) "Ain't She Sweet" even made it as high as number 19 on the Billboard charts in August of 1964!

The only complaint thet I have with this release is the lack of any bonus material. Where for instance is "My Bonnie" with the German intro? The original version of "Sweet Georgia Brown" without the reference to the Beatles would also have been nice. Heck, why not even throw in a few tracks by The Pete Best Combo or anything with Ringo on drums with Rory Storm and The Hurricanes. Anything like this could have really rounded out this disc to a full retrospect from the Beatles early beginnings. Regardless, this album is still a good purchase for any Beatles fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars For True Beatles Collectors, March 6, 2001

This CD is a rare find and a must for serious Beatles colectors. Not only is the the sound much improved (and in beautiful stereo) over previous Polydor reissues but it also has the original Sweet Georgia Brown version, Not the later one with the "reference to the Beatles" which was overdubbed in 1964 when the group became famous. I highly recommend this CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still fresh ..., November 8, 2000

This review is from: In the Beginning (Audio CD)

I'm very happy with the result - you can examine a noticeable improvement in sound. I own this album in different kinds - but the sound I've never heard before. The engineers did a good job.

Ok, Tony Sheridan slightly missed the class of the big rock'n'roller - but this album is not one of them, the Beatles (and of course Tony) have to feel ashamed. I'm strongly recommended this release.

Further it's a fresh testimony of the wild Reeperbahn days. And as a man, grown up near by Hamburg/Germany, I love this album.
