Hearing this early recording of I'll Follow The Sun is emotional. I've never heard Paul's voice before 1962. He sounds so young, yet so magical. I feel like I'm witnessing history. I just have no words.
''Hello Little Girl'' is the very first song John Lennon ever wrote. This is an insanely special and important recording. Without TH-cam 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.
Thanks very much for posting. As a Beatles nut I do find it indeed delightful to hear John, Paul, and George when they were teenagers coming together realizing that music was their future, still toying around, learning how to sing together and play their instruments - goofing off, loose jamming, just like all other bands do in there earliest stages, but this was the Beatles.
I LOVE THE BEATLES wait... THE QUARRYMEN!!! Man they were awesome! Brillant guitar playing by George Harrison! And lovely voices by Paul McCartney and John Lennon! Even lovely harmonies by George! in 2:46! What masterpieces. Love them! :)
Nah. i doubt it. Their names are too common. What is it, john, paul, and Gerry is it?. They need a 4th guy, someone whose name has a bit of pizazz to it. As for the group, the Quarrymen. No, no, no. Insect names are happenning. the wasps, the Flies, the cockroaches,... ooh, sorry, Bloody bee almost stung me. Wait a minute, i think they should cjhange their name to The Bees.
John Lennon had the "it" factor for sure. He rocks Buddy Holly. He's got the sound and all of Holly''s inflections. The recordings sound exactly like the early rockabilly records out of small town America. Terrific stuff.
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.
I recognized "One After 909" & "I'll follow the Sun", also the three individual's guitars...Appreciated their early recordings very much as a "time capsule" of what was to come. Thank you very much!
Never knew "I'll Follow The Sun" went back that far in their history. I knew about "One After 909". It's amazing to hear how "Sun" went from a somewhat swinging bluesy sound to what they laid down years later.
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!
Again... thank you for this great audio clip, MrWhyUNoPlay... a great addition [one of two] to the "1958 era" category in my play list... much appreciated! Wow.. how they went from *this*... to form The Beatles and recording "Love Me To".... to "Tomorrow Never Knows"... to "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End".
Imagine going back in time if only for a moment and sitting nearby while they played their early repertoire, knowing all that would transpire to these lads.
Howdy from Dallas Texas, obviously the Beatles influence has spread over the entire world. They played Dallas only one time in their career on September 18th 1964 at Dallas Memorial Auditorium. 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. They recorded a song Matchbox buy a dallasite named blind lemon Jefferson 1926 the first famous blues guitarist. Have always wanted to vacation in Liverpool, how lucky you are mate
Nice. You're right the recording quality isn't the best, but I think that's cool in a way, as it adds something to it. Authencity for one thing. One of the things that amazes me about the Beatles, and some other musicians of the 60s, is how skilled they were at very young age. Very cool listening to. Thanks for sharing.
It's amazing how when John Paul & George were teenagers and the 3 of them playing guitars and even then writing and playing original songs like Hello Little Girl or I'll Follow The Sun and the lyrics were a bit different by the time they recorded it on Beatles For Sale
They loved what they did. They ate, slept, and drank music. Ringo said even when they were breaking up and getting into heated arguments, when they sat down to play music all the bullshit went out the window and they still played great together and loved doing it. Paul is 72 and showing no signs of slowing down. Because he absolutely loves what he does.
I’ve known awesome super talented musicians that never made it out of the basement because they couldn’t even get themselves together let alone cooperate with anyone else. Known plenty that had good hands and could play all kinds of licks but couldn’t go all the way through a whole tune.
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.
Amo "In Spite Of All The Danger". Paul McCartney lo tocó cuando vino a la Argentina durante mayo de 2016. Gracias, Beatles (o The Quarrymen). ¡¡Gracias por subirlo!!
@@lenjohnson3037 He was a thousand of him regarding playing guitar. He was many levels above. No one argues otherwise. And the Beatles are my favorite band.
I have listened to The Beatles Feb, 1964, and have all their recordings, but this tape is new to me. Have never heard it before. Thank you for posting it on You Tube. Awake till midnight listening to this. Love it.
Illuminati Cake I don’t think it’s bad. The arrangement is pretty much the same. It’s just bad production quality, but what can you expect? It’s just some kids in a living room.
It's a far cry from the cavern recording they did in 1962, and completely different from that tired watered down version they did in the late 60s " probably as a joke" because in the later stages they'd often mock and change around some of their earlier songs. Don't forget songs like when I'm 64 Paul wrote when he was 14 or 15 and they use to perform in the cavern day's.
@Michael H.4 years ago, there were hardly any official uploads of beatles songs and any unoficial ones would be taken down. You could only find weird bootlegs and the 50s recordings
God, this was early and they were so young! Amazing to hear them singing so clearly back then. This is before they even went to Hamburg. Amazing to hear these early recordings when they were still teenagers. Thanks for posting it! 👏🏻🎸😎

The harmony vocals are pitch perfect ... and no stinkin autotune - a lost talent these days. I can just see these 3 guys in the loo together with the tape recorder sitting on the closed seat cover ... fabulous. Great to hear 'the one after 909' on these early tapes and compare to their last performance of it on the rooftop session.
even before they got to the 'toppermost of the poppermost' they were brilliant. these songs are so enjoyable, its incredible we have these recordings from all those years ago !!
Rockabilly influence is prominent in several cuts. Quite refreshing. Treasures here. Final cut is amazing. Sounds like George's voice with an abandon to it he rarely used later.
Even then John Lennon's voice is distinctly heard. The English were rocking like rock and roll should and it all paid off for the Liverpool Lads. Influence of Eddie Cochran is in evidence with the Ray Charles number that Cochran used to perform when was introducing Charles' music to England.
@@googalacticgoo Yes, it is crazy! It Don't Matter Anymore was one of Buddy's last, ironic songs. Also, the driver of the car with Cochran and Gene: George Martin (not THE George Martin) who, years after, got annual visits and beatings from Teddy Boys (according to an article in Goldmine Magazine). It was well known, in the UK, not to take that turn at high speed as it was notorious for having traffic accidents.
@@googalacticgoo The Covert War Against Rock is a painful book (to me) to read. According to its author, R&R history is quite different than most are led to believe. Much darker, and it's just one several that I've read regarding pop culture's darker history. Fortunately, I've also read very good, and upbeat books on music too.
True. But would they have sounded like the group we all love? Remember all the recording studios didn't have a George Martin that brought out the best in them.
@@johnszczybor4509 They still sounded good in Hamburg, and when they returned to Liverpool 1960, the kids went wild. They were only going one way. George did help , as did Epstein.
this cool. i thought the only recordings we had of the beatles before they actually became performing artists called beatles were on the 1st anthology. but no, there's more. they sing great together, even from very early on. i think this was 1958. the first 4 tracks are on the 1st anthology.
+kevin hughes The thing is, these aren't Quarrymen songs beyond "That'll Be The Day" and "Danger", though. The rest were by 'The Beatals' - as they spelled it at the time.
As if this was recorded down the road from me in Kensington, Liverpool(currently sitting in old Swan) .. to go from that to what they became, gives me hope 👌🏻
as Paul said, any guy wanted to play bass on the band , all of them wanted to play the guitar,even paul played that instrument you can see it in the album photo.
I WAS THE 5th QUARRYMAN!... or maybe the 6th. I played the spoons and the nostril straws. I was also the bus driver of the double decker bus where george first played "rauchy" for john. and I constructed the platform at the woolten county fete where paul first saw john perform. that's about all the silliness I can think of at the moment. thanks for the songs; THEY'RE GREAT!
never fails to kill me - John was a BETTER singer as teenager than at any other time. and that's saying something! he took such terrible care of himself that his voice suffered but teenagers are bullet-proof. great stuff.

When you look past the wild echo this is pretty fucking good. And this is a real good selection of their early early stuff. Some of their songs from the complete tapes are real hard to listen to.
Most of these recordings (with the exception of the first two) were done in the bathroom, at Paul McCartney's house, on 20 Forthlin Road, Liverpool. The group liked to practice there because, apparently, the acoustics were good. One of them (I believe it might have been John Lennon) would stand in the empty bathtub, while the others were around him, and the tape recorder would be running.
I wish I could go back in time and walk up to them right before one of their little gigs and say "oh, you guys don't know it yet, but you John and Paul will be the Beethovens of the 20th Century and your future group, the Beatles, will be the most famous pop band right into the 21st Century. No pressure though. Have fun today!"
@MrWhyUNoPlay Thanks for this creation/upload -- I'm much enjoying this throwback to a simpler & more skillful time. Are these recordings from way back, pre-1969 Quarrymen, or the revival they had by reforming 40 years later, or a mix?
1958 Liverpool "garage band". Priceless recordings. Paul paid big bucks to buy back the shellac 78 RPM record of "In Spite Of All The Danger". Hundreds of thousands.
@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".
The good thing about The Beatles is that you can rediscover them over and over again.
That's very True.
You don't discover the Beatles. They find you.
@@ilariawarren7276 yep

“The world is waiting just for me... and you will see.”

I had no idea "I'll Follow The Sun" goes all the way back to The Quarrymen. Very cool.
And "One After Nine-o-Nine". So, Paul had solos even in the beginning. Too bad they didn't work with George Martin then!
I was surprised too. It certainly evolved, in a wonderful way, by the time Paul finally recorded it as a Beatle.
isn't it fascinating to learn how old some of the songs are? I'll Follow the Sun is world class melodic genius. It cannot be taught.
I prefer the Quarryment's version to the one they recorded as The Beatles.

True. But would they have sounded like the group we all love? Remember all the recording studios didn't have a George Martin that brought out the best in them.
@@johnszczybor4509 They still sounded good in Hamburg, and when they returned to Liverpool 1960, the kids went wild. They were only going one way. George did help , as did Epstein.
this cool. i thought the only recordings we had of the beatles before they actually became performing artists called beatles were on the 1st anthology. but no, there's more. they sing great together, even from very early on. i think this was 1958. the first 4 tracks are on the 1st anthology.
+kevin hughes The thing is, these aren't Quarrymen songs beyond "That'll Be The Day" and "Danger", though. The rest were by 'The Beatals' - as they spelled it at the time.
As if this was recorded down the road from me in Kensington, Liverpool(currently sitting in old Swan) .. to go from that to what they became, gives me hope 👌🏻
John imiting Buddy Holly it’s just perfect
If these boys find themselves a drummer, they'll really be in business!
Then there comes Ringo😎😎😎😎
@@lsg_777bp3 *Pete
as Paul said, any guy wanted to play bass on the band , all of them wanted to play the guitar,even paul played that instrument you can see it in the album photo.
Grandes por siempre!!! los comienzos de lo que seria la revolución musical que cambiaria al mundo.
Little did they know that they would make the best band ever.
wonderful.thank you for sharing xxx
I WAS THE 5th QUARRYMAN!... or maybe the 6th. I played the spoons and the nostril straws. I was also the bus driver of the double decker bus where george first played "rauchy" for john. and I constructed the platform at the woolten county fete where paul first saw john perform. that's about all the silliness I can think of at the moment. thanks for the songs; THEY'RE GREAT!
Fantastic, your historic mate.
@@williamtynertyner1425 ... thanks. i appreciate that. but you do know this comment was just a joke, right?
Who else listens to the songs while looking through comments
Glushy. - Me ! 😂
Glushy Me too!😒
Is there any other way?
Are you kidding? nobody does that!!!
Glushy...naturally me, too !
"I would like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves, I hope we've passed the audition"
❤
People know Beatles but they dont know Quarrymen Lol . Greeting from a Nepalese fan .
+sumodh bhattarai Or the SILVER BEATLES dig that man
@@montgomerydenzer8805 Or The Nerk Twins.
exellent band perfect music thanx for posting
never fails to kill me - John was a BETTER singer as teenager than at any other time. and that's saying something! he took such terrible care of himself that his voice suffered but teenagers are bullet-proof.
great stuff.
The Quarrymen are fabulous.
Thank you so much for posting this.

On that front photo you can really notice how much younger George was.
They deserve all the acclaim they got. The one and only, Beatles.
When you look past the wild echo this is pretty fucking good. And this is a real good selection of their early early stuff. Some of their songs from the complete tapes are real hard to listen to.
Whoever disliked this, I am going to find you and haunt you.
Lol. This is amazing.
Ok
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOL 😆
Most of these recordings (with the exception of the first two) were done in the bathroom, at Paul McCartney's house, on 20 Forthlin Road, Liverpool. The group liked to practice there because, apparently, the acoustics were good. One of them (I believe it might have been John Lennon) would stand in the empty bathtub, while the others were around him, and the tape recorder would be running.
In Spite of all the Danger is such a great bluesy song.
RIP John George and Stuart :(
...and Paul.
@@juancastillonb 😂😂
@@juancastillonb Paul who? Paul McCartney is still alive, unless you're talking about the walrus.
😢
I wish I could go back in time and walk up to them right before one of their little gigs and say "oh, you guys don't know it yet, but you John and Paul will be the Beethovens of the 20th Century and your future group, the Beatles, will be the most famous pop band right into the 21st Century. No pressure though. Have fun today!"
They'll be like "this guy is crazy" and then about 5 years later they'll be like "remember that one guy? He was right!"
Прекрасно,интересно было послушать начало великой группы The Beatles
Love the Early Beatles
Their own songs and covers they chose
First two from a Homemade 78 RPM,just John,Paul and George,with their drummer at the time!
+Michael Boyce Yup, that is true
Pete Best and the sax was Stu Sutcliffe who got sick and passed away
also before being changed to Beatles they were the Silver Beatles
Colin Hanton I think
at this point it was definitely not pete best yet.
Man I wish they recorded "In Spite of all the Danger" professionally just one time before disbanding. I love that song to death.
It is a good song. I agree, I wish they'd laid it down.
They did, they just were too broke to get it mastered correctly.
It was originally titled "In spite of all the Rodney Dangerfield jokes", but Hollywood attorneys threatened to sue, so they changed the title to this.
Amazing. This is rock and roll.
These guys have potential
@MrWhyUNoPlay Thanks for this creation/upload -- I'm much enjoying this throwback to a simpler & more skillful time. Are these recordings from way back, pre-1969 Quarrymen, or the revival they had by reforming 40 years later, or a mix?
1958 Liverpool "garage band". Priceless recordings. Paul paid big bucks to buy back the shellac 78 RPM record of "In Spite Of All The Danger". Hundreds of thousands.
They were harmonizing way back when. Looks like 3/4 of The Beatles❤️
Very nice job!
I'd rather listen to this than anything that comes out these days ;-)
Gran trabajo amido c:
Que belleza
Bro. You are the real MVP
I feel my vision clouded ;)
I remember downloading these in the late 90's when dozens or hundreds of Beatles bootlegs were leaked.
Great Work Man
@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".
Love it! Thanks. x
Full Album that every cool!!
Thanks for that document but the best is to come for them. Isn't it??
