I was searching for something else in a 1962 edition of the Melody Maker when I came across this review of the Beatles with Tony Sheridan. It is undoubtedly the first mention of the Fab Four in the mainstream music press - they'd appeared in Merseybeat but that's all. I love the last line....
Where on earth did you dig that up from?
ReplyDeleteI have that version in Beatles Anthology. They're right--it rocks.
ReplyDeleteThe joys of having an archive Graf....
ReplyDeleteYes, what a great last line!
ReplyDeleteAye Tony Sheridan had a stormin' career once he dropped the backing band.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Do you have the original newspaper? It must be a collector's item.
