[edit] History

Originally the name The Beatles was replaced by the Beat Brothers due to a confusion with the word Beatles and some german slang.

There are different tracks lists that came through the years. However The Beatles were only involved in eight tracks. The others while bearing the name Beat Brothers saw no Beatles involved.

The Polydor CD release in 1984 is the first official transfer. The booklet included gave some informations. However many mistakes were made. Just to give an idea the article was dated january 1985 while it was issued mid 84.
