Early Beatles Club Shows Recordings To Be Auctioned

. (Classic Rock) Original recordings of the Beatles' 1962 December gigs at Hamburg's Star Club are to be sold at auction, it's been confirmed. The band played a series of shows at the venue to small audiences and performed tracks including Twist And Shout and I Saw Her Standing There along with covers of Chuck Berry's Roll Over Beethoven and Phil Spector's To Know Her Is To Love Her.

Now Ted Owen and Co auctioneers will sell the 33-track collection on behalf of Larry Grossberg, the business manager of Andy Warhol and Muhammad Ali, who spent �100,000 remixing 26 of the songs for a 1977 album release.

Grossberg had the following to say, "I'm 74 and it's time to sell. I don't want my family to have the burden of going through my things and liquidating everything." Read more here.
