Beatles The Beatles With Tony Sheridan DVD

While most music fans know that the Beatles cut their teeth as a live act

with a residency at a rough-and-tumble nightspot in Hamburg, Germany, called

The Star Club, fewer people are aware that the group also made their earliest studio

recordings during their German sojourn. Tony Sheridan, a German pop star,

liked what he heard when he saw the British upstarts on-stage, and he recruited them

to back him up on a single, featuring rocked-out versions of My Bonnie and

When the Saints Go Marching In. The Beatles returned to the studio with Sheridan for

further sessions, including a take of Aint She Sweet with John Lennon singing lead

and an instrumental piece written by Paul McCartney and George Harrison, Cry for a Shadow.

The Beatles with Tony Sheridan The Beginnings in Hamburg is a documentary which,

through interviews and vintage footage, tells the story of Tony Sheridan and how he gave the biggest ock band

of all time its first break in the recording studio. The DVD also includes new Dolby Digital 5.1

remixes of the Sheridan recordings and preserves the original versions in uncompressed

PCM stereo. Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
