Sheridan,Tony Teacher Hamburg 1961-1962 CD

Tony Sheridan, an outstanding guitarist, a superb singer, and an imposing, charismatic live performer, was among the first British musicians to play the clubs in Hamburg, Germany, at the turn of the 60s. A huge influence on the younger British beat groups who followed him, he quickly became known as "The Teacher"The Beatles famously backed Sheridan on sessions for Polydor Records in 1961, on a body of work which would sell in it's millions following the outbreak of Beatlemania. This compilation anthologises all Sheridan's recordings during 1961 and 62, and of course includes the tracks on which he was backed by The Beatles (at the time, these sides were issued as "Tony Sheridan & The Beat Brothers"). Included as bonus tracks are four earlier, pre-Hamburg recordings which feature him as a session guitarist, plus a couple of live tracks from an April 1959 edition of Oh Boy!
