It was during this period that Sheridan took a young George Harrison under his wing and helped him better master the guitar. George was very eager to learn, and by the time of the Beatles' second trip to Hamburg (in April of '61), the Beatles and Tony Sheridan had become accustomed to playing together.

By that time, too, Polydor Records was seeking to offer Tony his first recording contract. Since Tony often played with the Beatles, they were familiar with the songs he might record. Some accounts have Bert Kaempfert himself hearing the Beatles at the Top Ten Club and personally signing the group, behind Tony Sheridan.

The accounts relating exactly what was recorded and when are a little musty with age. Gottfridsson has the first session for Polydor taking place on June 22-23. As Joe Brennan's Variation's Guide indicates, the session's recording engineer has said that the record was mixed live from twin track to stereo. Some people claim that the slow English intro was recorded by Tony and the Beatles but that the German intro was done months later, when the Beatles were absent. Since the German version of the single (and picture sleeve) appears to have been released slightly earlier, if this is the case, then the German intro must have been recorded in June (with or without the Beatles). One account has the recordings being made on the stage of a local school!

As to what was recorded, it is known for certain that "My Bonnie (Lies Over the Ocean)," "The Saints (When the Saints Go Marching In)," "Why," "Cry For a Shadow," "Ain't She Sweet," "Take Out Some Insurance On Me Baby," and "Nobody's Child" were recorded at that (first) session. The eighth song released from the Beatles' tenure with Tony Sheridan, "Sweet Georgia Brown," which exists in two versions, appears to have been recorded on a four-track machine, although there may be another explanation. According to Gottfridsson, the Beatles were scheduled to record with Tony in Hamburg in February of 1962, but with them absent, Tony recorded two songs with Bert Kaempfert's orchestra. The Beatles had already been paid for the session, and so, they would record with Tony later. Early articles exist mentioning a recording session on May 24, 1962. Tony's earlier version of "Sweet Georgia Brown" appears to have been unsuitable. It, along with a Beatles-backed "Swanee River" were recorded on that day in May. Whether the Beatles version is the one on the MGM album (the only extant version) is not known. Polydor's records indicate that there are no unreleased Beatles-backed tunes extant.

Now it really gets muddy. John Lennon told Hunter Davies (The Beatles biography) that the Beatles without Tony Sheridan recorded not merely "Ain't She Sweet" and the instrumental but three other songs as well, none of which were liked by the Deutsche Grammophon people. Tony Sheridan remembered "Rock and Roll Music," "Kansas City," and "Some Other Guy" as the unreleased tracks, the former of which John Lennon sang. Tony later recalled (1994) that along with "Sweet Georgia Brown," the April '62 session included "Skinny Minny" and "Swanee River." Both of those songs were released by Tony without the Beatles backing, as was another version of "Sweet Georgia Brown," and none of the mysterious unreleased Sheridan/Beatles tracks has ever been released, unless "Swanee River" (from May '62) is the version that is currently extant. Gottfridsson states his opinion that plans for the Beatles to record without Sheridan were scrapped since Brian Epstein had plans to audition the group for EMI.

I wish, I had been an adult when this type of music AND the Beatles were in their heyday. This rocks, wow I could only imagine what it would be like in a place like the Cavern or a small stage pub hearing something with this much energy. NO autotune, NO crappy singing croaking like frogs or worse, but all fun. You can hear the fun they are having performing. I know you can find this music in some venues here and there but its work to find it. So wish I had been alive and an adult then, Music on the radio today is so lifeless and over perfected to me. Maybe it's just me. I wish they would play this on our indie stations where I live at least. Well I have youtube to get to hear it I an thankful for that!

I own the CD of this recording. The liner notes that came with it state that the band backing Tony Sheridan on this recording was Joey Dee & the Starlighters. They were from New Jersey and were the house band at the Peppermint Lounge in New York, and had a huge hit in the mid 60s called "Peppermint Twist". If you listen to it you can hear their "sound" is very similar to the instrumentation on this recording.

Unfortunately this actually not the Beatles behind tony on this particular recording. That IS Roy Young organ but this is actually Tony's backing band from the Star Club. The recordings with The Beatles backing Tony were not recorded live in front of an audience, they were only a couple of them recorded in an empty auditorium somewhere else in Germany outside of Hamburg actually. This IS a great Tony Sheridan performance however. One of his very best. Hands down.

This track has helped my through a depression phase again, in teenage years I adored Swami Poubo Sharan(also known as Tony Sheridan i perfornabce) for the routine, solidity and professionalism This track was on an EP which also featured a Beatles collaboration in Sweet Georgia Brown, but I think this song more defines better what was Hamburhg szene and what it was all about.

This 45RPM is credited to Tony Sheridan & "The Beat Brothers" who are often wrongly believed to be the Beatles. But the fledgling British group had no involvement in recording this track although "Sweet Georgia Brown", included on this disc, is indeed recorded by them.

@rosemariebarnes175

The nonsense written here is amazing. Tony and the Beatbrothers, were a band in their own right, when recording for Polydor. The Philips records listed them under Star - combo. Not a single Beatle on them. In the early records, the drummer was Johnny Watson, then Tony Cavanough, an African American. He only lasted a short while. Jimmy Doyle from Dublin is on all the Star - Combo recordings. The reason they were called that was Tony himself was contracted to Polydor, hence on some recordings he was listed as Dan Shery. How I know that ? Married to the saxophone player for 53 years.

@jonglewongle3438

Had Tony Sheridan not already been contracted to Polydor then he would have become the lead singer for the Beatles, almost beyond any reasonable doubt. The Beatles wanted an accomplished lead vocalist because they were not confident in their own vocals. They used Tony Sheridan for the Decca audition of January 1, 1962. I maintain that they stood Paul McCartney down for that session because they thought that Sheridan could cover the McCartney vocal range for the tracks they covered, and he did, but then the Best drumming did not cover for the lack of bass. Missed the contract..

@ChrisBrown-ig5ip

This discography is completely wrong. There's an organ and though it sounds like Tony Sheridan none of his backing sounds like the Beat Brothers aka Beatles. The only Sheridan EP with the Beatles I know has Ain't She Sweet, Take Out Some Insurance and My Bonnie, on it.

@Chris Brown Absolutely. I was there - I saw him sing this several times. The Beatles left in November 1962, when I/we arrived. This group was still called the Beat brothers, but no one from the Beatles was in the group, for the simple reason that they were no longer in Hamburg. Actually you can hear Tony say "A little bit of Roy Young there" just before the organ solo. Listen to the guitar solo near the end... pure Sheridan, brilliant ! He knew how to drive a group like very few singers do - the groove is phenomenal.

The experimentation of later years did bring in some great progression in this genre, but it was not continued well, after it became too big and the money and the degradation corrupted the music business and misdirected the talent that there was.

Tony Sheridan said that John in those days had a magnetic personality. Everybody wanted to be with him or sit next to him. He was wild and the German fans adored him. At first they thought Paul might be gay due partly to his high arched eyebrows. Years later John performed this song on the end of one of his albums. From memory I think it was John Lennons Rock & Roll.

Once again, for those who still think/say/believe that the Beatles played on this track:

A LITTLE BIT OF ROY YOUNG NOW (1:11) - does this sentence mean that John Lennon played the organ here and named himself Roy Young or what?

@LucaColaMusic

2y↑3

Lol! It's quite obvious The Beatles don't play on this song, but other Tony Sheridan songs. The drums are just too good to be Pete Best. Plus, there aren't any known love recordings of Tony Sheridan and the Beatles. Nonetheless, a fantastic song!

@migou4995

I love this song very much ! Who plays orgue Hammond and drums in this song ? 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

@johnbednall9577

Don't know the drummer? Keyboard Hammond, Roy Young, later Cliff Bennett & The Rebel Rousers.

Beatles with tony sheridan was: pete best drum, george harrison guitar, john lennon guitar, paul mc cartney bass (stuart don't play) and this yaya cover (live) is with the beat brother not the beatles. The beatles didn't recorded live with tony but a studio session in a classroom

@steveshattah339

This is a later performance of this song by Tony. The original recording had no Beatles on it and this has no Beatles on it.

Yes,but however,Bert continues the name long after the Beatles left him,no doubt to "Cash In" on the name,once the word came out about what you said.The CD has the other group's line-up at its end,BTW.

When Lee Dorsey's version of this was a hit in the USA, some stations refused to play it, calling it "too suggestive". Well, maybe, but of what? They might have guessed constipation or masturbation, but it could just as easily been about waiting for a date to arrive. The station owners must have had quite active imaginations.

The beat Brothers are identical with the Beatles. These stood at that time under contract with Bert Kaempfert. Because there was no German translation for the name "the Beatles", one decided the volume for the recordings the name Beat-Brothers to give. Also the title "Ya Ya" was published under the label "Tony Sheridan and the beat Brothers" by Polydor N° 21485.

No eran los Beatles los que acompañaron a Tony Sheridan en la grabación de este tema. La mayoría eran músicos alemanes.

@dabreu

At least this track in in the album Beatles in Hamburg released in Brasil And in the album Beatles First, officially released as The Beatles ( Beat Boys) and Tony Sheridan. There is also a De Luxe version.Produced by Bert Kaempfert. Polydor album. I don't think they would make such a mistake, don't you think? Search for it on youtube and will see they are really The Beatles.

As far as I can hear - this is NOT Pete Best on the drums. If it really is - this must've been his best drumming ever. But it doesn't sound like him.
