GREAT FOR OFFICE OR MAN CAVE
An original 1961 German pressings of "My Bonnie/The Saints" POLYDOR NH 24 673 by Tony Sheridan and The Beat Brothers, the first-ever appearance of the Beatles on record anywhere in the world !
There were two versions of that first single, one (called the "Rock" version) had the intro in German released Oct. 23, 1961 and the other (the "Twist" version) had the slow intro in English released Jan. 5, 1962. Both records were released on Polydor Records in Germany. The Beat Brothers included Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, Pete Best.
My Bonnie played a more pivotal role in their fortunes: it brought them to the attention to Liverpool record shop owner Brian Epstein. A local fan named Raymond Jones is said to have requested the song in his NEMS store, setting events in motion which led to Epstein becoming The Beatles' manager.
A kid had gone into Brian's record store and asked for My Bonnie by The Beatles. Brian had said, 'No it's not, it's by Tony Sheridan,' and he ordered it. Then Brian heard that we were playing 200 yards away. So he came to the Cavern and the news got to us: 'Brian Epstein is in the audience - he might be a manager or a promoter. He is a grown-up, anyway.' It was Us and Grown-ups then. Paul McCartneyAnthology
