At the Starclub

The Star-Club's 40th anniversary celebrated on three sensational new CDs. On April 13th, 1962, the now legendary Star-Club was opened in Hamburg's red light district, St. Pauli. Forty years ago the Hamburg clubs cooperated with another sea port, Liverpool, to bring international stars to Germany. In Liverpool, another new band was launched every week, and most of them didn't try their luck along the River Mersey but along the Elbe! They came to Hamburg where they had to play several hours a night, seven days a week. It was a hell of an apprenticeship!
