2.0 out of 5 stars Cry for a Shadow, December 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: In Hamburg 1961: A Musical Biography (Audio CD)

Buy this CD only if you are a very serious Beatles fan and have everything else. The tracks on this CD are mainly sound bytes of people recalling the Beatles' early days in Hamburg -- mostly acquaintances. The music on this CD is mostly the Beatles backing up Tony Sheridan. There is only one track which shows the instrumental ability of the Beatles -- "Cry for a Shadow."
There is no singing by Paul, John, George, or Ringo. In fact, I think that Pete Best is the drummer here. This is not an authorized product by the Beatles, etc, etc., etc. I bought it for $3 in a clearance bin -- only for the instrumental. I don't think I would pay more. Unless you are desperate to collect every single piece of Beatles memorabilia available, give this one a bye.

If you have a fair amount of The Beatles music in your collection and love them, then give this one a go. Features recordings made before they were stars and still touring the clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg.
