Beatles Beginnings : Quarrymen Two – Rock’n’Roll
A series of compilation CDs highlighting the songs and styles that inspired the Beatles and which ultimately were responsible for shaping their sound. For too long the covers CD has been the province of freebie magazine cover-mounts and shoddy garage cheapies. No more. Because Rhythm And Blues Records are Doing It Right.
Following on from their well-received compilations covering the roots of rhythm and blues, the R&B team shine a spotlight on the songs that shaped the Beatles. For the first six years of their career, the Beatles were essentially a covers band. When they were captured live on tape in two sets at the Star Club in Hamburg in December 1962, they played thirty-two songs, only two of which were their own compositions. They established a repertoire of over 600 tunes, allowing them to tailor their set to the occasion for jazz clubs, strip clubs, church dances, folk clubs and working men’s clubs.
Quarrymen Two spotlights the rock’n’roll songs the band played live in Liverpool while they were known as the Quarrymen between 1957 and 1960. All tracks have been carefully remastered to optimise the sound. An illustrated 36 page booklet includes detailed sleeve notes with a track-by-track commentary and an essay explaining the significance of each song to the band.
