Before becoming a Beatle, Ringo Starr kept the beat for Rory Storm & The Hurricanes.  Although that group did some live recording sessions with the future mop-top, tapes of songs that included Ringo could not be accounted for - until recently.  The BBC is reporting that recordings made at the Jive Hive, a Liverpool club, and at Storm's house in 1960 have been discovered in the basement of a home a sister of Storm lived in. Plans call for the UK release of the material.  Starr's camp issued a statement claiming that Ringo only appeared on two recordings by the band, Bring Me No More Blues and Fever. Starr contends material being touted as including him was actually recorded after he'd left to join the Beatles but adds, 'I dont know who the drummer was but I hope Rory fans enjoy it anyway'. Rory Storm won't be of any assistance clearing the matter up. He passed away 40 years ago.
