Never Before Heard Beatles Tunes

Billboard reports that a Miami-based indie label will release Beatles live recordings made in 1962 at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany.

Fuego Entertainment is said to be in possession of 15 songs, which the label claims are the first to feature drummer Ringo Starr as part of the group.

Recorded at the Star Club, the collection includes previously unheard tracks, such as covers of Hank Williams's "Lovesick Blues" and Maurice Williams's "Do You Believe."

British producer/promoter Jeffrey Collins claims he received the original tapes from a DJ booked for the club the night of the Beatles' performance. Since his confiscation of the priceless material, Collins has been in constant battle with Apple Corps to release the songs. Collins even went on to state, "The Beatles know these tapes exist and their lawyers know these tapes exist. It's a matter of certain legalities."

To allow eager Beatles fans a taste of what is to come, Fuego Entertainment President/CEO Hugo Cancio is offering a full-track stream of the live "I Saw Her Standing There," plus clips of other live Beatles songs in its collection for $4.95 on fuegoentertainment.net.

Beatles fans may soon have new material in their hands!
