Fuego Entertainment Begins Digital Re-Mastering of Lost Beatles Tapes(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) Fuego Entertainment announced that its majority owned joint venture Echo-Fuego has commenced the digital re-mastering and enhancement process to improve the quality of the historic Beatles lost tapes in preparation for its future release. The process will take a few months. Once finished the recordings will be part of an historic double CD featuring the 15 original recordings from 1963 and the 15 digitally enhanced recordings. The title of this historical collector's item is "Jamming with Beatles and Friends, Star Club, Hamburg, 1962". The recording is the first time that Ringo Starr actually played with the group "live" after replacing Pete Best on the drums. Seven of the songs on this tape were later studio recorded and released by the group through E.M.I. but the remaining eight tracks were never released. The recordings were made in 1962, a short time before their signing with E.M.I., during the Fab Four's first live appearance together at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany playing before a small audience of about twenty to thirty people. The original tape of this live recording was "lost" for over 33 years in the record and tape collection of legendary music producer and promoter Jeffrey Collins.
