Beatles Bop - Hamburg Days is a compilation album of the 1961 recording of Tony Sheridan and The Beatles released by Bear Family Records in 2001. To date, this is the most complete collection of the recordings done with producer Bert Kaempfert for Polydor (excluding the other recordings featured on the My Bonnie/The Beatles' First albums that were done by other musicians under the "The Beat Brothers" name). The album was released in a standard 2-CD jewel box with a 99-page booklet as well as a De-Luxe-Edition packaged in an LP sized box set which included a 120-page hardcover book which featured rare photos, documents, single picture sleeves and historial notes.

The set has since been deleted from Bear Family's catalogue.
