"MY BONNIE" LP - STEREO
1962 POLYDOR RECORDS 237 112
RED SCROLL LABEL
On The Beatles' first visit to Hamburg, Germany in 1960, they met classic rock 'n' roller Tony Sheridan & became friends with him. Tony actually taught George some new guitar licks. On their second visit in 1961 (now minus Stu Sutcliffe), The Beatles backed Sheridan in a series of stage performances. It is sometimes said that German Polydor agent Bert Kaempfert personally 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. They recorded a number of songs together and alone, but only two of them actually made it on to the album for certain, although there are rumours of The Beatles also backing on "Swanee River", "The Saints" & possibly other tracks. As to what was recorded at the session(s) by The Beatles, it is known for certain that "My Bonnie", "The Saints", "Why", "Cry For a Shadow", "Ain't She Sweet", "Take Out Some Insurance On Me Baby" and "Nobody's Child" plus "Sweet Georgia Brown" were recorded with the band in either June 1961 or April 1962, although only two are officially credited on the album. John Lennon & Tony Sheridan also remembered recording "Skinny Minny" & "Swanee River" in a second session in May 1962. The Beatles are known to appear for certain on "My Bonnie" and "The Saints" (and were credited as such on the back of the sleeve) which was then released as a single to precede the album.
The single was released in two versions - The "rock" version with the intro in German (October 1961) & the "twist" version with the intro in English (January 1962).
The album was issued in June 1962.
This really is the 'big bang' moment as regards Beatle history - Everything exploded from here.
The album fathered the single and the single was the very one that Ray Jones asked for when he walked into Brian Epstein's NEMS shop on October 28, 1961, asking for a copy of the Beatles' single, "My Bonnie". After learning who the Beatles were, Epstein managed to stock and sell at least 100 copies of the single! By as soon as November 6th, Polydor was planning a British release of the record, and by the end of the year Brian Epstein had become the manager for the group and was attempting to secure them their own contract - The rest is history.
