The Best Of Tony Sheridan

The Beatles’ name isn’t mentioned anywhere, neither on the label nor on the cover of this LP. It includes possibly three recordings where The Beatles participate (“My Bonnie”, “When The Saints Go Marchin’ In” and “Swanee River”). According to Yoko Ono, “Sweet Georgia Brown”, however, is a version recorded by Tony Sheridan without The Beatles’ help in December 1961 (unlike in case of other albums released by Polydor).

The mono masters for this album were fold downs of the stereo tapes, with only "She Loves You" and "I’ll Get You" appearing in true mono, due to the unavailability of stereo mixes at the time of compilation. For some unknown reasons the stereo version of Volume 1 was not released until twenty months after the mono release.

LP USA

This album is famous for its controversial original cover photograph, known as the "Butcher Cover".
