''Hello Little Girl'' is the very first song John Lennon ever wrote. This is an insanely special and important recording. Without KZbin this all may have been lost.

No, not really. In my collection I have 3 double cd's with home recordings of John, Paul and George. One is called Silver Beatles At Home 1960, the second is Beatles Strong Before Our Birth and the third is called Beatals (yes with an A) and is called The Braun-Kirchherr Tapes. With 1960 versions of Matchbox, Hello Little Girl and 2 different versions of One After 909.

I was surprised too. It certainly evolved, in a wonderful way, by the time Paul finally recorded it as a Beatle.

Don’t let the poor quality of the recordings fool you. If you were standing there listening to them “Live” you would be blown away by these young kids. One after 909 is pure Rockabilly/Punk rock and R&B, way ahead of its time and better than most of the stuff that was on the radio at that time. Mind boggling.

Did you know that i first learned about the Beatles from the film “Nowhere Boy” which is by the way a very incredible movie. Anyway, I saw a scene where John was playing a very famous song “In Spite Of All The Danger” and I fell in love with the song and I searched up “The Quarrymen” and I saw that there were John’s first band before “Johnny and The Moondogs” and then “The Silver Beetles” and then what we have today The Beatles. And “Hallelujah I Them So”. Ha Ha!

No live recordings of that show have ever turned up however there are several pictures of them on stage here in Dallas authenticated by a sign in the front row that says welcome to Dallas. They made fun of our dialect during a couple of press interviews and tried to make us sound like Backwoods Hicks.

[@johnsheakley8836]

The Quarrymen booked a recording session on 12 July 1958. They recorded straight to disc, as tape would have been an extra expense. The sound was recorded live by a single microphone in the centre of the room, and Lennon suggested that Hanton put a scarf over the snare drum to lower the volume. I was 1 year, 6 months, and 12 days. Born in San Francisco, California, U.S.A. Shortly before 10am on Monday, February 11, 1963, The Beatles arrived at Abbey Road Studios in North London to work on their debut album, Please Please Me. Ten hours later it was all but finished. Meet the Beatles! is their studio album released in the U.S.A.. On 20 January 1964, in both mono and stereo formats, it was their first U.S.A. album to be issued by Capitol Records. On Feb. 9, 1964, our dad let us watch The Beatles when, on the Ed Sullivan Show, they made their first live U.S.A. television appearance. I was 7 years, 1 month, and 9 days (I was finishing 1st grade). My older brother Clark bought Meet the Beatles! and played it every day that our father allowed him to use his stereo console cabinet. In 2nd grade I sang Beatles songs with my friends during recess on the playground. Of course, my name being John, I played the part of John Lennon. When it was time for another haircut, I asked my dad to give me a Beatles style haircut. He said okay but he gave us the usual military buzz. At least we had surfer shirts and converse high tops.

It's a pity the Beatles didn't do an ordinary recording of "In Spite of All the Danger" like they later did with "I'll Follow the Sun." Would be great to have - just for the record (get that one?) - so to speak as it's an original by Paul. Would have been nice if they had recorded all the songs they gave away to others also. Would have been nice to have in backhand so they would have had more stuff to put on their Anthology series. If issued on an album it would easily made up a double album. It's that many ! Their catalog would have been even more complete if these songs had been given full treatment.

I remember downloading these in the late 90's when dozens or hundreds of Beatles bootlegs were leaked.

@MrWhyUNoPlay That's really, on the one hand of "purely historical interest" as you call it, on the other hand, just brilliant. The first 5 are known from Anthology 1, I wouldn't have thought there's more. I would buy it if it came out. Adds historical perspective, as basic as it is. But then, there's really some Beatle magic shining through. I dare maintain that in 1959/60 nobody else had a tune like "You must write everyday".
