Up for auction is a copy of the very first record by the BEATLES'...
TONY SHERIDAN & THE BEAT BROTHERS"MY BONNIE (Mein Herz ist bei dir nur)" b/w "The Saints (When The Saints Go Marching In)" Polydor NH 24 673
According to Wikipedia: On The Beatles' first visit to Hamburg, Germany in 1960, they met rock and roller Tony Sheridan, and became friends with him. On their second visit, in 1961, The Beatles backed Sheridan in a series of stage performances. It is sometimes said that German Polydor agent Bert Kaempfert saw Sheridan with The Beatles, but others report that a friend of Kaempfert's suggested that he bring them in to put down some recordings. Either way, he produced the material with Karl Hinze engineering. While they recorded a number of songs together (as well as alone), few of them actually made it on to the album, with Sheridan re-recording many of them. The Beatles appear on "My Bonnie" and "The Saints" as the Beat Brothers.
Legend says, in 1961, Raymond Jones, a young man from Liverpool, made a request for a copy of the "My Bonnie" single, which brought The Beatles to the attention of then-record store manager Brian Epstein, and set in motion the events that would lead him to become their manager. After The Beatles became successful, the eight tracks The Beatles worked on and some other Beat Brothers material were issued on an album in 1964 titled "The Beatles' First".
THIS IS THE HISTORIC, VERY FIRST VERSION OF THE VERY FIRST COMMERCIALLY RELEASED RECORDING TO FEATURE THE BEATLES!!! This Single started it all!
"Made in Germany" is stamped in the dead wax area. Also stamped are the numbers 24673-2 A/B and 2 K1 H/S D (the D is horizontal).
Look at the pics. Mint labels on both sides indicate the condition of the vinyl. Just beautiful and the finest copy I've ever seen to date.
