COMMENTS Original release of June 1962
Recorded: 22 June 1961, Friedrich-Ebert-Halle and Studio Rahlstedt, Hamburg-Harburg, Germany.
Tracks 1 and 7: accompanied by The Beatles
My Bonnie is a 1962 album by English rock and roll singer-songwriter and musician Tony Sheridan. Sheridan, then playing in clubs in Hamburg with the Beatles, was discovered by producer Bert Kaempfert and subsequently signed with him to record. Sheridan recorded several songs with the Beatles, two of which were later released as a single. Further recordings without the Beatles filled out the album. Because of the later fame of the Beatles, the material has been repackaged several times.

This is the very first LP record on which The Beatles perform.
The LP is very rare in both the mono and stereo versions.
It was released with an orange label, and the picture of Tony Sheridan on the cover was taken by Astrid Kirchherr, Stuart Sutcliffefs girlfriend.
The Beatles are also credited for the first time on a German record edition, for their participation on the recordings of gMy Bonnieh and gThe Saintsh.
This LP was released in Germany at the same time The Beatles signed their record contract with Parlophone at home in England and it seems as if the groupfs new record contract finally made even Polydor in Germany, as has Polydor earlier in Great Britain, officially recognize the group.

gMy Bonnieh and gThe Saintsh were already released in mono, both in Germany and Great Britain, when the LP came out (after these songs, information is given about the first release date and the original record number in Germany).

The copies of this LP had the slow English introduction to gMy Bonnieh. It is uncertain if there are also editions with the slow German introduction to gMy Bonnieh, but it is likely.
Besides the already released gMy Bonnieh and gThe Saintsh, this LP contains only hitherto unreleased material.
According to the release protocols in Polydorfs archives, those songs on the LP where The Beatles donft play were recorded in Musikhalle, Hamburg by Tony Sheridan under Bert Kaempfertfs direction in December 1961.
As a matter of curiosity it can be mentioned that on the above-mentioned LP, version 1A) of gSweet Georgia Brownh was released for the first time. This song was later re-recorded by Tony Sheridan and The Beatles in May 1962.
