It would be so great to have a recording of the Parnes audition. But we have recordings of them at the same time and it does sound pretty lousy in my humble opinion. ... but also this shows just how quickly they became good in Hamburg. The difference between them going to Hamburg for the first time in the summer of 1960 and them knocking them dead at the Litherland Town Hall at the end of that year is evidently pretty freekin amazing.
