Those big deal "new" Star Club tapes aren't such a big deal at all.
As we wrote in our latest update, we have heard the short excerpts and one complete track that are on Fuego's site. Despite the hype of the press release, not all this stuff is new. Some of it has been released as part of the original Star Club tapes, some of it has been bootlegged and some of it ("Lovesick Blues," sorry to say) isn't the Beatles at all.
And again, despite the hype in the press release, the quality is no better than the previous Star Club tapes. The only completely new track of what's circulating is the excerpt of "A Taste of Honey."
Here's a list of tracks that Fuego apparently has. This may not be complete: Road Runner, The Hippy Hippy Shake, A Taste of Honey, Money, It¹s You That I¹m Thinking Of [I don't know this is the actual title], Ask Me Why, I Saw Her Standing There, Ramshackle Shack, Lovesick Blues, First Taste Of Love, Dizzy Miss Lizzy, Do You Believe, Ooh Pooh Pah Doo, Twist and Shout and Rebel Rouser. Some of these titles are certainly familiar. Some of it has been released before and some of it isn't the Beatles at all. And the quality is, again, no better than the previous Star Club tapes.
None of this should be a surprise. We seen overhyped news of unearthed Beatle tapes come up before with the same result.
