This record representes a milestone in the fabulous rise to fame of The Beatles. It is their very first recording.
None less than the illustrious Bert Kaempfert of "A Swingin' Safari" fame spotted The Beatles in a Hamburg nightclub on the world-famous Reeperbahn.
Kaempfert was so impressed with this talented group that in his capacity as A & R Manager did their first recordings.
The four recording hit the European market with impact and meant the break for The Beatles they always dreamed about. These four titles are now, for the first time, available on an EP.
