COMMENTS
Teichiku started releasing Beatles recordings other than EMI recordings on the Overseas label in September 1985.

Teichiku only had three recordings, excluding some fragmentary songs from press conferences and interviews:
  • Decca Audition recording from January 1, 1962
  • Polydor session recordings from June 1961 to June 1962
  • Live recordings from the Star Club in Hamburg recorded in December 1963.
These three recordings were combined with interview recordings to release a wide variety of LPs.
Teichiku released a total of 19 Beatles LPs between September 1985 and November 1988.

"Rock-A-Billy Beatles" is a compilation album of 16 songs from Polydor, Decca, and Star Club recordings.
Four of the songs are not performed by the Beatles.

  • Tracks A2, A4, A5, A6, & B2: Recorded at Polydor 1961-1962
  • Tracks B7 & B8: recorded at their Decca audition, 1st Jan. 1962
  • Tracks A1, A3, A7, A8, B1, B3, B4, B5, & B6: recorded live at The Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany; Dec. 1962
