Description
This is a must have for the serious American Beatles collector. Not quite a "legit" Beatles album. Here are the facts:
"The Savage Young Beatles" was issued in 1965 in the U.S.. The album contains four songs that The Beatles recorded with English singer/guitarist Tony Sheridan in Hamburg, Germany. The entirety of the album's playing time is barely over 20 minutes. "Cry For A Shadow" is an instrumental performed by The Beatles with Pete Best on drums. It holds the distinction as being the only song with the composition credits of Lennon/Harrison. Track 3 on side 1 is also known with the title, "Take Out Some Insurance On Me, Baby" and along with tracks 1 and 4 on side 2 feature The Beatles with Pete Best on drums backing Tony Sheridan on vocals. The other tracks include Tony Sheridan on vocals/guitar but no work by The Beatles.
The record was released by Savage Records with the catalog number BM69 and this was the first release by that label. "Savage" did not even have the rights to any of the recordings, which in America were covered under leasing agreements with Polydor to labels MGM and Atco. The photograph shown on the front cover, taken on December 17, 1961 came from the group's first photo session arranged by their recently hired manager Brian Epstein, who at this point, has not yet persuaded them to give up the leather.
This is an excellent gift for the Beatles Collector and a great investment. You won't find many in this mint condition. It's the real thing and not a reproduction. Good Luck and Happy Bidding.
