Beatles 1962 Hamburg Star Club Fuego Case (UPDATE)! Hamburg Ringo Starr first Performance Recordings

To recap, the Beatles performance was made during Ringo Starr’s first appearance with the Beatles on stage in 1962. The location was the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany. Eight songs were recorded that night, including Paul McCartney singing Hank Williams’ “Lovesick Blues” and McCartney and John Lennon singing “Ask Me Why.” The recordings have never before been heard. This weekend, a federal judge accepted a (voluntary) agreement between the Beatles’ Apple Corps Ltd. and Miami Lakes-based Fuego Entertainment, Inc., the claimed owner of the recordings.

“This is an injunction that was agreed to by our clients with no admission of liability to give the court time to consider the parties’ claims regarding the ownership interests in these recordings,” said Fuego.

Apple said the agreement “clearly reflects that there is no basis for Fuego’s claims that they have a right to exploit the tapes.”
