MCCD-128/129 is a mixed affair as it offers a chronological collection of Beatles United Kingdom performances and rehearsals from 1962-1964 in varied sonic fidelity. Misterclaudel includes very tasteful inserts featuring a thick glossy replica of graphics containing corresponding concert programs, tickets, Cavern Club Membership Cards, concert posters and snapshots of The Beatles at each of the above recorded venues. The closest compilation/collection of the above Misterclaudel release that I am aware of is ?The Beatles Live In United Kingdom 1962-65? which was released by Bulldog Records Of Italy in Limited Edition to 2000 Numbered Copies [BGCP 90512] in a 2 CD fatboy format covering various live concerts in the U.K. from 1962-65. 

?Some Other Guy? from the 9-5-62 Cavern Club performance in Liverpool offers amazing clarity and fidelity from this early period as compared with the first 2 takes from 8-22-62. Listen to the relaxed twist-induced 3:02 minute ?I Saw Her Standing There? from the October 1962 Cavern Club Rehearsals with its catchy instrumentation and smooth-pegged harmonies. This just reinforces
