This was an original song written by peter oakman/tony oakman/and j. beveridge.. the beatles then were back up to Joe Brown and the Bruvvers[oakman]in several gigs Joe became a good friend of George and the other fab 4..all played around europe in those days..tony did his Nashos then rejoined Joe in 1962..from a mate
That's a rare find! As you may know, the BBC wiped most of the Beatles session tapes, and that left EMI/Apple scrambling to find good off-air recordings of some of the broadcasts for the Live at The BBC CD's. Many have been floating around as bootlegs for years. This is one I'd heard of but haven't heard until tonight! :) It's unfortunate so many lesser informed fans want to insist this and others are Hamburg recordings, and want to have a pissfest over it. Cheers for posting!
I didn't recognize it as George at all, until he said the word "there" like "thur" and I knew it was him. He's doing an impression of someone else here, apparently, because it's completely unlike him.
@superman11978 the song was a big hit for Joe Brown who the Beatles were big fans of. Joe Brown played I'll See You In My Dreams on the ukulele at George's commemoration gig because George also played the ukulele. He used to take 2 whenever he went flying in case someone else wanted to join in. you can get that on Youtube too.
@2011littlejohn1 Joe Brown and the Bruuvers, I think, and he was a slam bang guitarist as well and did the original Henry the Eight. I would recommend Sire Records 1975 double elpee: Roots of British Rock 1956-1963 which was also a part of a KPFK and KCRW documentary by the late Jay Laycee. Early UK rock has many gems not known by us Yanks on this side well worth hearing...
Never heard it before. AWSOME SONG!!!!

I've loved this song since the first time I heard it on bootleg LP I bought along time ago.
Wish it was better quality. Definately would have been on The Beatles At The Beeb release if it was.

Love this performance. It's a pity BBC not have the original tapes.

This is always quoted as one of Brian Epstein favorite songs, I guess thats why they recorded it.

Not a recording by the Beatles. No idea as to who this vocalist is, but he is not one of the Beatles.

Don't be silly, it's definitely the earliest version of the Beatles with young George singing.

John nicknamed George as Carl in 1959 because they wanted cool nicknames!!!
He nicknamed him that because he was a big fan of Carl Perkins
I think that is why he or she said that
