From the back cover:

The Beatles - From Cavern To Star-Club is a meticulously researched chronology and discography of The Beatles' recordings from 1957and up until 1062.

Hans Olof Gottfridsson has mapped out from unreleased tapes, documents and interviews with key persons this legendary period of The Beatles' early career. For the first time ever all significant dates and recordings are covered, from the moment John and Paul met at the Woolton Garden Fete in 1957 to the last Star-Club recordings in Hamburg during December 1962.

The book contains a complete review of all German, English, French, Swedish and American releases of songs which were recorded during this period and released up unto 1970. All singles. EP's and LP's are depicted. Every release has been priced according to rarity and collector's item status.

The author has succeeded in tracing - previously believed to be lost forever - the original protocols from the Polydor recordings, which show beyond any doubt that The Beatles did record Swanee River. The book features the first complete facsimile reproduction of Polydor recording sheets, contracts and much more. Once and for all it is now made clear which of the Tony Sheridan releases The Beatles actually took part in and played on.

A Beatles EP is enclosed. The record contains four tracks with The Beatles and Tony Sheridan. The original 1962 version of Sweet Georgia Brown is released here for the first time ever in stereo!

Comprises more than 400 illustrations, including lots of photos of rare records and acetates.

This is the most comprehensive book available on the subject and it reveals new information about early Beatles history. An essential sourcebook both for seasoned collectors and for those just starting out.
