The Fab Four would return to play the Star Club from 18th - 31st December 1962. The following year the band would explode onto the music scene in the UK with their debut LP, Please Please Me in March, followed by their hit single 'She Loves You' in August. The band cited their early years playing in Hamburg's nightclubs as being crucial in honing their phenomenal performance abilities and creativity.

'We would never have developed as much if we'd stayed at home. We had to try anything that came into our heads in Hamburg. There was nobody to copy from. We played what we liked best and the Germans liked it as long as it was loud.' - John Lennon
