The Beatles - 1962 - Red Hot & Three-Thirty Blues
The Beatles - 1962 - Red Hot
These tapes were recorded sometime in December 1962 by Adrian Barber, a former member of Liverpool group The Big Three, who was employed as stage manager at the Star Club. Barber was an electronics enthusiast who had built amplifiers for his own group as well as other bands. It was he who built the famous `coffin' speaker cabinet used by Paul McCartney in the early days. He also built an extremely sophisticated PA system for the Star Club, with two columns on either side of the stage containing twenry-five 10 inch speakers each, all powered by a 200 watt Telefunken amplifier. The Star Club also boasted an in-house set of powerful Fender guitar amplifiers, which were used by The Beatles in addition to other acts. Barber recorded these tapes on a Grundig recorder running at a speed of 3.75 inches per second, or twice the speed of a compact cassette. The purpose of the recordings was to evaluate the PA system which Barber was constantly tweaking. Contrary to popular myth, they were not recorded in a careless or haphazard fashion. 01 - It's Now A Quarter To Twelve 02 - Hippy Hippy Shake 03 - Be-Bop-A-Lula 04 - Chat 05 - I Saw Her Standing There 06 - Chat 07 - Hallelujah I Love Her So 08 - Red Hot (Incomplete) 09 - Sheila 10 - Chat 11 - Kansas City,hey Hey Hey Hey 12 - Chat 13 - Shimmy Like Kate 14 - Chat 15 - Reminiscing 16 - Chat 17 - Red Sails In The Sunset 18 - Chat 19 - Sweet Little Sixteen 20 - Chat 21 - Roll Over Beethoven 22 - Chat 23 - A Taste Of Honey (Incomplete) 24 - Nothin' Shakin' (But The Leaves On The Trees) 25 - Chat 26 - I Saw Her Standing There 27 - Chat 28 - To Know Her Is To Love Her 29 - Chat 30 - Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby 31 - Chat 32 - Till There Was You 33 - Chat 34 - Where Have You Been All My Life 35 - Chat 36 - Lend Me Your Comb 37 - Chat 38 - Your Feet's Too Big 39 - I'm Talking About You 40 - Chat 41 - A Taste Of Honey 42 - Chat 43 - Matchbox 44 - Chat 45 - Little Queenie 46 - Chat 47 - Roll Over Beethoven 48 - Goodnight LINK The Beatles - 1962 - Three-Thirty Blues
