Редкая запись выступления Битлз в Гамбурге выставлена на торги

Во что ответил Тэйлор на вопрос о "аукционных" пленках, продавцах и сколько было записей:
"By their own admission, this proves that they do not have the ORIGINAL Tape Spool itself, which had 8 hours of recorded performances of Band who were appearing at The Star-Club Hamburg, Dec. 1962. If they are the Master Tapes that were used for the original release, then they are a Digitalized Copy of a Copy of a Copy, as originally there was almost 3 hours of The Beatles performances that were originally given to them for editing. And at the end of the Day, all that they managed to achieve, was to turn an exciting, atmospheric live performance into commercial product, with NO atmosphere whatsoever, and robbed the World of what it was really like in those Golden Years of Rock and Roll."
А для особо интересующихся и имеющих возможность - эта афиша.

Будет 2 мероприятия - концерт 8 августа и встреча 9-го.

Может кто-нибудь перевести этот спич на нормальный технический?

Из всего этого, а так же из высказывания Тейлора, лично я, понял, что речь идет о пленках с уже почищенными записями, которые использовались для выпуска альбома The Beatles Historic Sessions, содержащий 30 треков гамбургских выступлений. Или даже об одной из копий с этих пленок.

Народ, а ведь похоже грядет сенсация...
Впервые гамбургские записи будут выпущены в абсолютно нередактированном виде на бутлеге.
И наконец будут закрыты все вопросы об очередности песен, о датах, о том где Битлз, а где нет и т д.
Плюс неизданный материал!!! Плюс приятные бонусы!

Если все так, как анонсировано, то все ранее изданные диски можно смело нести на помойку.

Да, интересно было бы послушать!

Ted Taylor вспоминает про запись и говорит о том, что оригинальная пленка "умерла естественной смертью"

-------

The Original tape had been just thrown into a cardboard junk box in "Studio One" Records, Hackin Hey Liverpool after Eppy gave his ridiculous offer of 20 Pounds, just for my trouble.When John Seddon, who was the owner, and good friend of mine closed his Company down, everything in his office was just thrown into the cellar below.These buildings were Old Warehouses, and very prone to being damp Dungeons, very like The Cavern Club, and in the same area.

I will add, that in 1966 I got out of the Music business completely, and went back to my old trade as a Butcher,the tape was then, totally incidental to me. Then in 1972, at a Mersey-Beat Revival Show, I happened to mention to Allan Williams about the Tape, then the story started off there AGAIN!

Allan, John Seddon and I went to the old office to see if we could gain access to the building, but it was all locked, and boarded up, but luckily enough The Members of "The Scaffold" had opened a Boutique call "Thru the Looking Glass" just across the Street, and I knew Roger very well, so off we go. Roger told us that there was a Watchman who used to make regular checks on these now derelict buildings, and he had his telephone number, and would give him a bell, This he did. One Hour later the guy turned up and unlocked the door for us.The place stank of rotting sewage, mildew and damp air. We went down in the cellar, were there was heaps of papers and boxes, just lying around covered with mould, the whole place was a health hazard, and I was just for getting out of there, and balls to the tape! Allan's greed got the better of him and carried on searching, then I spotted the box and asked Allan to pass it over, and there it was, the tape.

Then we did the most stupid thing without even thinking about it, we took it home and played it on my machine to check it. The tape being damp,started to shed the magnetic side, and was clogging up the head on the machine, then we tried to fast forward it to various places, which caused the tape to snap and bundle up in the head. My solution was to leg the tape dry out totally before we did any more damage. So in the end the only possible solution was to get the once only chance of baking the tape, and lift off the sound before it fell totally apart.This was not done by us, but by a professional Sound Technician.

ANSWERS: The tape was never cut up. AND: No I haven't got it. It died of inevitable natural causes.
