My Bonnie

CD reissue. Features the first studio recordings by The Beatles! Tony Sheridan had been recommended to producer Bert Kaempfert as having considerable potential, along with a band he had regularly performed with in the clubs of Hamburg. After watching the pairing play himself, Kaempfert arranged for a contract for both, with the group providing musical backing on a couple of numbers on the resulting Tony Sheridan album. The group also recorded a couple of their own numbers during the course of the session, but for whatever reason, Kaempfert believed Sheridan was the more likely to achieve an impact. Thus, The Beatles would have to wait a little while longer before making their breakthrough! This album, therefore, represents the first recorded appearance of The Beatles, on the minor hit single 'My Bonnie' and 'The Saints', thus ensuring lasting interest in the album.
