ORIGINAL AND VERY RARE 1964 UK POLYDOR RELEASE.
RECORDED IN HAMBURG GERMANY IN MAY 1961. "CRY FOR A SHADOW" WAS RECORDED IN THE HALL OF A LOCAL INFANT SCHOOL WITH BERT KEAMPFERT PRODUCING. THIS WAS THE BEATLES THIRD TRIP TO HAMBURG AND THEY RECEIVED 300 MARKS (£26.00) FOR THE SESSIONS DURING WHICH THEY PRODUCED EIGHT SONGS, THE BAND MEMBERS AT THIS TIME WERE JOHN,PAUL,GEORGE PLUS PETE BEST ON DRUMS AND STUART SUTCLIFFE ON BASE.
IN THE U.K THE EIGHT TRACKS RECORDED IN HAMBURG WERE USED BY POLYDOR ON FIVE SINGLES, ONE E.P AND SIX ALBUMS...... "CRY FOR A SHADOW" WAS THE FIRST BEATLES INSTRUMENTAL WRITTEN BY JOHN AND GEORGE AS A PARODY TO THE SHADOWS AND WAS THEIR FIRST OFFICIAL RELEASE IN THEIR OWN RIGHT.
COPIES OF THIS SINGLE ARE THE RAREST OF THE POLYDOR RELEASES. IT WAS FIRST RELEASED ON THE "MY BONNIE" E.P IN 1963 AND WAS THEN RELEASED IN ITS OWN RIGHT AS A SINGLE ON FEBRUARY 28TH 1964 BUT FAILED TO MAKE THE TOP 30 IN THE U.K...... COPIES OF THIS SINGLE VERY SELDOM SURFACE FOR SALE.
