This 1981 UK set marks the first time all 30 songs from the Star Club tapes were gathered into one package.

Also, this set was the first UK appearance of 4 tracks not previously issued in Britain.

Some errors involved in this set:
-Stuart Sutcliffe listed on the front cover, is not on these recordings (he had died months before).
-Recording date is stated as April 1962 when it is actually December 62.
-A1 "Introduction" is only listed on inner gatefold.
-A7 "Lend Me Your Comb" is credited as Written-By "Fred Wise/B. Weisman" on label but really Written-By Kay Twomey, Fred Wise & Ben Weisman (2).
-B4 "Besame Mucho" is misspelled on label as "Beseme Mucho".
-B5 "Can't Help It/Blue Angel" is really "Reminiscing".
-B6 "Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey" is only credited as Written-By "Leiber/Stoller" on label but really Written-By Leiber & Stoller/Richard Penniman.
C2 "Ain't Nothin' Shakin' (Like The Leaves On A Tree)" is credited Written-By "Dallas/Frazier/A. Owen" on label but really is credited as Written-By Eddie Fontaine, Cirino Colacrai, Diane Lampert & John Gluck Jr..
C5 "Falling In Love Again" is credited Written-By "Hollander/Connally" on label but really Written-By Friedrich Hollaender & Sammy Lerner is a theme for the film "Der Blaue Engel (The Blue Angel)" performed by Marlene Dietrich. Also Published By credits misspelled as "Campbell Connally".
-D5 "Talkin' 'bout You" (Ray Charles song) is really the Chuck Berry song "I'm Talking About You".
-D6 "Shimmy Shake" is incorrectly credit and confused with the song "Shimmy Shake" Written-By "South & Billy Land". Correct song is a version from The Olympics "Shimmy Like Kate" written by Armand J. Piron.
-D8 "I Remember You" misspelled credit to Johnny Mercer as "Metter".

-C7 "Be-Bop-A-Lula" lead vocals by Fred Fascher (Star-Club waiter and brother of Horst Fascher), erroneously credited to "Horst Fascher on Liner Notes.
-C8 "Hallelujah, I Love Her So" lead vocals by Horst Fascher (Star-Club Manager).

Issued as a white gatefold sleeve, with textured/raised lettering "BEATLES" on the front and has similar liner notes as the 1977 Lingasong release.

Some copies sold outside of the UK may have 3 hype stickers: a round, red "2 RECORD SET" and union jack "British Import" on the front shrink-wrap. On the back may be round, red "ATTENTION COLLECTORS|UNRELEASED TRACKS".
