I heard this played on a Dallas radio program a few years ago - I can't remember the name of it now. But this was a tape that had been authenticated as genuine because one of the guys in the "band" had recording equipment that he used to like to fool around with. I have a recording of part of that program on cassette tape and this matches it. The original tape was sold at an auction for a helluva lot of money. It is John Lennon's first known recording, but I never listen to it. Sounds like crap.
I'd want a lot more evidence that this is John Lennon. It could equally be Lonnie Donegan, what had a hit with Putting On The Style. Back then, reel to reel recordings were rubbish - I made some of the band I was in, and they were as bad as this recording! Could be John Lennon - could equally well not be...
@LennonForever38 josh this is the quarrymen in fact this tape was recored on the day john lennon met paul mccartney on july 6 1957 emi owns the recording emi payed over $100000 for that old reel to reel tape at sothebys the man who recorded this found out he had a recoding that was real histrionical being the day john meet paul its hard to believe this exist at all there more on the tape then the 30 seconds of sothebys sample emi planded on put this on the lennon box set
"The Quarrymen" was formed in 1956 by John Lennon, as he was 16----he could be 70. Today its my birthday, too, this is a special birthday gift---just like my favorite song by John Lennon: Imagine
@brandstifter68 There is only one Lennon, in this case. Which is why the guy didn't title this as, "First Lennons' record". You and six other people, so far, should study a little more before criticizing the use of apostrophes and grammar.
@viciousbloodbath Unless part of this thread has gone missing, the focus on apostrophes seems to have been introduced by you, not by brandstifter68, who doesn't need my interjection but, in the absence of any public reply and to help others, the title should be "First recording of Lennon": it is the former that is the first of many not Lennon, hence b68's comment. Also 'record' suggests a formal release. Hope this helps.
PS Walruson is from Spain: his/her English is superior to my Spanish.
@delacote60 Yeah, you wound up chiming in nearly a half a year too late. There were changes made to the video heading and a deleted message on the thread. Sorry you ended up writing so much that I didn't even bother to read. Have a good life and a Happy Easter.
@brandstifter68 Although it dosen't make sense, the apostrophe does not mean that there was more than one Lennon. The apostrophe, in this case, simply denotes that the record was of Lennon. The only way the apostrophe could get confusing is if you took it as: "the record belonged to Lennon."
shut fuck up all of u u can tell thats fucking john lennon his voice if none of u think thats john your all fucking dum

That isn't John Lennon my friend.
Plus the Quarrymen's first record didn't have this song on it.

sweet in a way - he does not sound like a nobody, he sounds like a little kid (I am sure biased about this particular little kid, granted).
