The Beatles were recorded in Hamburg in 1961 backing up British singer Tony Sheridan on a series of fairly generic tracks that would never have seen the light of day had The Beatles not exploded onto the world's pop stage a year and a half later. Then, of course, these recordings were issued in countless packages, a process that still continues nearly a half century later. The Beatles are featured alone on two tracks, "Ain't She Sweet," with a John Lennon vocal that hints at things to come, and an intriguing instrumental, "Cry for a Shadow," written by Lennon and George Harrison. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
