Music reviews of In the Beginning
Music Review: Get Real People.
Rating: 5 Stars
Why are people so suprised that this album is mainly Tony Sheridan as opposed to Beatles classics? It was Tony who was the star when the tracks on this album were made, yet The Beatles name is upfront now because they are the band who this album represents in historic content.
If you don't want this then just leave it alone and listen to The Red and Blue albums instead that gather a lot of the hit discs the beatles went onto have over the 7 or 8 years that followed this recording. If you want to hear an important moment in Beatles history, then this album is that.
Tony Sheridan had a record deal with Polydor records in Germany, although he was British, he was touring German pubs/bars/clubs the same time The Beatles did in 1960/61.
He got the Beatles a job, by backing him on several of his records. The importance of once such record "My Bonnie" cannot be denied. It was the record that brought the Beatles to the attention of Brian Epstien, who went on to get them their EMI record deal with George Martin.
"Ain't She Sweet" is a John Lennon lead vocal, but wasn't issued as a single by Polydor until 1964, after the Beatles had become world famous. It was a top 40 hit in both the UK and USA.
Other tracks are either Sheridan solo, or with The Beatles backing him as well as an instrumental track composed by John Lennon & George Harrison. The Beatles at this point consisted of John, George, Paul McCartney and Pete Best. These recordings represent Pete's only appearance on a Beatles record in the 1960s, as he was replaced by Ringo Starr in 1962 (just before they achieved their 1st U.K hit with "Love me do").#
The Beatles cuts on this album were recorded in 1961 (although the Sheridan cuts go up to 1969!). In 1962 the Beatles entered the UK top 40 with "Love Me do", In 1963/4 singles such as "I want to hold your hand" and "She Loves you" and albums such as "Please Please Me", "With The Beatles", etc put the Beatles on the world stage.
By all means this isn't a definitive Beatles hit's album at all and of course doesn't live up to "Rubber Soul", "Sgt. Pepper", "Abbey Road", etc, but this disc nevertheless is a landmark in Beatles history and while the songs didn't make them famous, they nevertheless got the motor running for the pop combo to enjoy a long drive down fame street!
