That’s just music

Apple Corps which is representing interests of the legendary ex-Beatles members Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and heirs of John Lennon and George Harrison brought an action in court against the release of an ‘unreleased’ before concert record that dates back to 1962. Apple Corps’ lawyers account it as a butleg. 

This record was made approximately during the band’s first joint concert with Starr in Hamburg.  It contains eight tracks including “Lovestick Blues” (written by Hank Williams and sang by McCartney) and “Ask me why”.

Before it was said that this disk will be released by Fuego Entertainment (Florida, USA) and should incorporate fifteen tracks.  The owner of this record British producer Jeffrey Collins insists that he made it with the permission of Star Club.  Apple Corps disagrees and sees nothing but a butleg. 

Fuego Entertainment representatives say that this record was made legally. Company’s president Hugo Cancio believes that the only reason why Apple Corps is acting this way is because they simply don’t have this record.
