More Quarrymen / Early Beatles

[popcorn8441]

The fourth track on the list is a home recording of the instrumental song "Movin' and Goovin' by Duane Eddy. It was released in 1958 and was his first hit record, but it never made the charts in Great Britain and was only a minor hit in the United States. It sounds a bit like Chuck Berry and the early Beatles do a pretty good job on it. It's too bad that this song and the other instrumental on the list were never professionally recorded, as both songs obviously had quite a bit of potential.

[beachboytriad]

damn they were great right from the get go

[Nikyd98]

Hmmm...interesting music in the background.I can tell it is pretty old,so it's not the best sound quality.But it's ok because that's how history is,difficult in many ways!Haha

[AJJKRRR]

I always thought it was interesting that the Harrison solo on this very early version of One After 909 was better and rocked harder than his lame version on the '63 take (an off day maybe). He redeemed himself again though on the

'69 Let It Be version!

[JapaninArmeija]

Interesting theory, that the blues/rock jam had been recorded in Hamburg. That's not too crazy theory because these tapes were used to promote the band and at least partially these performances have been sourced from Astrid Kirchher's tapes.

[bottecchia1927]

great Harrison!

[Joshua12345]

Quite agree, and I may adopt your comment as a new form of exclamation!

[tomitstube]

this beatle movie i watched kind of gave the impression they weren't all that good when they met... but you can hear the talent right from the start. the chemistry is there from the very first moment.

i had no idea there was this much recorded history. wow!

[strgazr]

So the 1st part is from THE fete where John and Paul met? Incredible!

[tarkothegreat123]

in cayenne song,,stu is playing the bass

[qjuanq]

gracias amigo ojala sus palabras se hagan realidad porque acabo de comprar los pasajes :D

[qjuanq]

me encanta la segunda melodia, me eh vuelto tan adicto a los beatles que este año pienso viajar a liverpool desde Peru ehhh :D

[Joshua12345]

Ahora que es lo que llamo un ventilador dedicado de Beatles. Estoy seguro que usted conseguirá una cálida bienvenida y que tendrá un gran rato

[keefyboy67]

the chuck berry piece sounds like 'brown eyed handsome man',then seems to go into 'please dont touch' by johnny kidd & the pirates

[vytautas70]

awesome!!!

[Craigwigle]

one after 909 was one of the first song written by john/paul when they were like 15,

Its in my book im reading(the Beatles) by bob spitz

[TravisTricky]

I am currently reading that book too! Very informative stuff!

[stily9]

Fantastic book, gives a wonderful insight to the rise of the Beatles

[lakefloor]

The inacurrate comments are starting to make me sick, but thanks for posting this. I always liked Cayenne. I heard it decades before Anthology finally put it out. Good stuff!

[liverpoolishgirl]

Agree. That's how some of this nonsense is perpetuated.

[lakefloor]

Indeed. And now there's so much more of it since I last commented. Oh well, better not to read it I suppose.

[Takethisoath554]

The one after 909 was written by john/paul around this time it was recorded

[WiltatKansas]

Not, was written by John.

[cjthemusicman]

INCREDIBLE!!!

[ejdiii333]

the first instumental is called "thinking of Linking" (with you). a harrison original you can find all ofthem on "the Quarryman" CD. the one after 909 was used later on one of there last albums, it is known as the first lennon/macartney composition (if I'm wrong feel free to call me names and jump down my throat).

[bigdrakefan95]

i know one is cayenne...

[futuredoowoper]

does anyone know the name of the songs in this video?

[freitag42]

The second was "Cry for a Shadow"...an accustical Track made by John and George.

The Third was "The one after 909" i think by Buddy Holly.

The Rest i dont know.

hope i could helped you...

[nilsk9]

"One after 909" is a beatles song, made by Lennon in 56 or so.

[freitag42]

really? I didnt know that.

[liverpoolishgirl]

First song is Puttin On The Style and was recorded by a friend, Bob Molyneux at the St. Peter's Church fete (fair) on July 6, 1957 the day John and Paul were introduced by their mutual friend Ivan Vaughn.

Second song is Cayenne.Paul playing.

[liverpoolishgirl]

Third song is The One After 909 and it was written by John and Paul, not Buddy Holly and not John's alone, either. John didn't write any songs - by his own admission - until after he met Paul in the summer of 1957.

Next is a riff off of a Chuck Berry song. You can hear that it is something the Beach Boys borrowed later on for Surfin' USA, but it was Chuck Berry.

[dunskie]

Sweet Little Sixteen was the Berry tune The Beach Boys copied.

[beatlesfan16]

The Beatles are realy making a comeback where i am. I'm talking haircuts'clothes' boots'hats and all my friends at school have the beatles on mp3 players and ipods.From 60 to 70

[spectrum909]

I'm so jealouse with you! :D

In my school most of the people hate the beatles.

So, where are you from :D

I'm joking of course, but still jealouse.

The instrumenatls in this tape are great. They really got the guitar..

[mongrelhead1]

great stuff. thanks again.

[mongrelhead1]

Great stuff. Thanks again.

[qjuanq]

la segunda me encanta =)

[JaimeChile]

who made the solo guitar in the 4th theme?

Paul or George?

[7beers]

Wow, what a rarity!!

[rubberrevolver1]

This proves the Beats started out as a Punk Rock Band.

[lenerty]

Track-Listing:

0:01-0:28 Puttin' on the Style (July 1957)

0:29-2:50 Cayene (circe April 1960)

2:51-5:18 One After 909 (circa June-July 1960)

5:19-9:06 Instrumental (circa April 1960)

Track one was recorded at the Fête in Woolton. Tracks 2-4 were home recordings made at the McCartney family home in Liverpool with Stu, and the occasional percussion (reportedly on a guitar case) is alleged

to be Paul's brother, Mike McCartney.

[Taxi502]

incredible information, thank you, how ironic that one after 909 was sang by the quarrymen, but not sung by the beatles till their last album in 1970. Great history lesson for beatle lovers

[LightMyFire92]

Well, they recorded it in 1963, but they didn't like how it turned out, so it waited until 1970... :P

To be honest, I like the 1963 version better ;)

[fourtyfrets]

nice to hear the boys rocking their balls off

[liverpoolishgirl]

July 6, 1957

Dates have varied (as have the memories)of John, Mimi, et al., but this is what the programme from the fete has and it lists The Quarrymen Skiffle Group, so that's it!

[berven2]

Never heard this before. Cool

[PHILLYNOTT1]

cool, fab, gear.

[shunys]

Thanks for posting this.

[samymosher]

the fete? july6 1956???? the meeting of john and paul?!?!

[Joshua12345]

Well, the fete, yes, but only 20 seconds of a Quarrymen song. EMI bought the original to try and suppress it, but....

[blutocampbell]

July 6 1957

[lilita159753]

I found it!!!!!

[santasxgirlfriend]

thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LadyCayenne]

To say I LOVE Cayenne would be stating the obvious... lol.

Thanks for posting this. Where did you get it from??

[Joshua12345]

See the info on the other vid, but to add more here, it always has been available if you knew where to look. Two blokes, 1 German, 1 Aussie ( or at least Aus based ) obtained copies of almost all the reels the early Beatles ( Quarrymen really ) taped in Liverpool, perhaps Hamburg, and they each released their own albums ( vinyl then CD ). I can't for the life of me recall the titles, but, just Google Quarrymen recordings and, with a lot of patience you will get the lot.

[LadyCayenne]

Cool! Thanks again. I am off looking for them.

[LadyCayenne]

OMG.... I have found them...!!!

I LOVE YOU!!!!

[askl23]

You're right about the 2 different locations. The fete and Cayenne (and most likely One After 909) were recorded in Liverpool, at Paul's house. The jam session was probably at a club in Hamburg

[432F01]

ger off it, it's fogging great

[Petr0nia]

Course they sounded bad then, it was the start of things. I love this early recordings better than the polished stuff, so much honest energy. Thanks so much for posting xx

[JulianLennon1]

Finally some very nice intellectual thoughts. Enjoyed all comments. Fingers crossed the German lad will share his reel.

[littlepizz]

esas cintas son super buenas

[weebamber]

If you take it in that they were just learning and the music of the day was not that good then i think they are fucking great MAN!

[sunbeams7]

Definately a case of Edgar Lustgartens house of horrible

[Joshua12345]

Yes, he is, I don't think he was quite as bad as made out really, but far from what's really needed, that's obvious.

[wildones]

But then again, they're all crap in that recording..

[jacklloyd25]

Harrisons cover of (I will always be in love with you) is well played and sung. I love these recordings. I just wish we had more hamburg stuff. Allan Williams has a demo which didn't make it on the anthology due to quality. plus there are a few songs from the starclub recording which hasn't surfaced yet. a few bits of one (Red Hot) was on the anthology.

[Joshua12345]

There may be more Hamburg stuff to come out, but it depends. The german lad ( old man now! ) given one of the reels may not have let the lot out, we'll have to wait and see.

[bauersnarky]

is stu on bass? wow he really was bad...

[EpiphoneHeart]

Yes

[Joshua12345]

Just had to make another comment on this, when the second track in ( Cayenne ), comes together quite well for a few seconds, it reminds me of cheesy British detective serials from the 1950s, Jack Haggis of the Yard or whatever, with a filthy mac and a habit of smoking dog ends from the pavement, and wistfully staring out over London Bridge even though its foggy.

[tomorrowneverknows67]

Yeah, I agree with that. You can picture like an old noir detective film and the narrative of an old sleuth with whiskey on his breath...also, this is a great tape.

[Joshua12345]

I like Cayenne so much now, I use it for background music for other vids / tapes.

[frenchytouch]

yes i agree,when i heard this music "cayenne" for the first time in anthology1 i was very astonished,it was very beautifull i was about 12 years old!thanks so much for posting a longer version,it's great!i've heard it's a tune from paul,right?he plays the lead guitar?he was already a very good melodist.
