This Beatles performance on New Year's Eve, 1962, was originally recorded by the club's stage manager, Adrian Barber, on a domestic Grundig tape recorder. Given to Ted Taylor of the Liverpool band The Dominoes, the tapes remained in obscurity until the mid-1970's, when former Beatles manager Allan Williams took them to Paul Rogers of Buk Records. Amidst much controversy and legal wrangling by Apple Corp. to prevent release, the performance was finally released in 1977. Commonly referred to as the "Kingsize Taylor" tapes, these ?" tapes on 10" metal reels from Chappell Recording Studios, London, were acquired from Paul Rogers. Rogers has signed a document outlining the technical details of these 16-tracks, adapted from the original Grundig tape, in November, 1975. Two additional pages of handwritten notes complement the track information written on each box.
