Fuego Entertainment, Inc. announced today that they have acquired 15 tracks of previously unreleased music by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, “The Beatles.” Recorded in 1962, the tracks consist of their first live appearance together at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany. The legendary group can be heard playing in front of a small audience of about twenty to thirty people. The original tape was “lost” in the record and tape collection of Mr. Jeffrey Collins, a well-known and legendary music producer. The historic application of this tape is that it was the very first time that Ringo Starr actually played drums with the Beatles live, after replacing Pete Best.
“Our previously announced Joint Venture with Mr. Collins’s Echo Vista Group incorporates into our exciting music library an extraordinary, diverse, valuable catalog of music. In some cases, never released recorded music, The Beatles is only one example. I’m extremely excited about this acquisition and the future release of this historical Beatles album. They are one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed music groups in the history of popular music,” stated Hugo Cancio, President & CEO of Fuego Entertainment.
A release date for the tape has not yet been announced, and the untouched album will be released under the Echo-Feugo joint venture, a majority control music division of Fuego Entertainment.
