In June 1961, Sheridan and the Beatles (then consisting of guitarists John Lennon, George Harrison and Paul McCartney, bassist Stuart Sutcliffe, and drummer Pete Best) were both playing in Hamburg's Top Ten Club, the two frequently performing together. German producer Bert Kaempfert visited the Top Ten on the recommendation of music publisher Alfred Schacht and singer Tommy Kent, and subsequently signed Sheridan and the Beatles to his company Bert Kaempfert Productions.
Kaempfert set a recording date for 22 June at Hamburg's Friedrich-Ebert-Halle. Engineered by Karl Hinze, the session featured Sheridan and the Beatles playing "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean", "The Saints", "Why", "Nobody's Child", and "Take Out Some Insurance". The Beatles performed "Ain't She Sweet" and an original song, "Beatle Bop" (later titled "Cry For a Shadow"). Sutcliffe attended the session, but did not play, leaving McCartney to play bass. From these sessions, "My Bonnie"/"The Saints was released as a single through Polydor Records (who had an exclusive deal with Kaempfert's company) credited to "Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers", as the Beatles' contract enabled the record company to use a pseudonym. [WIKIPEDIA].
This makes this LP technically the very first 'Beatle' album, and although the songs are rather tame it is of importance to all Beatles fans and collectors. This copy is a German pressing in very good condition and is priced accordingly.
All records are cleaned with anti-static fluid, played and graded according to RRPG guidelines before listing. I do not sell any that are in poor condition so you can rest assured you are buying a quality used record.
