The song was recorded by The Beatles during a live BBC radio session and included on the album, Live at the BBC. The song is especially popular in Beatles lore, being featured in the only known existing film with synchronized sound showing the Beatles performing live at the famous Cavern Club. The crude, grainy footage features John Lennon and Paul McCartney singing the song's melody in unison on Wednesday August 22, 1962. It is also the first film of Ringo Starr as the Beatles drummer, Pete Best having been discharged the week before.
The song was very popular in Liverpool's Merseybeat scene. Both the original and the version by fellow Merseybeaters The Big Three ("Some Other Guy" b/w "Let True Love Begin", Decca F11614, March 63, UK#37) are part of John Lennon's jukebox. The song was covered by the pre-British Invasion group Johnny Kidd & the Pirates, and also by Led Zeppelin during a Whole Lotta Love Melody on September 4th, 1970, being found on the famous bootleg Live On Blueberry Hill.
The color footage is of the Beatles in Hamburg in January 1962, the earliest Color and known existing footage! The rest is from Anthology
"Cry for a Shadow" is an early Beatles instrumental. It was recorded on 22 June 1961 at the Friedrich-Ebert-Halle, Hamburg-Harburg, Germany while they were performing as Tony Sheridan's backup band for a few tracks. It was written by George Harrison with John Lennon as a parody of The Shadows style. (The Shadows, who backed Cliff Richard were the biggest British instrumental rock & roll group at the time of the recording.) It imitates the lead guitar with typical Hank Marvin licks, the melodic bass fills, and even has an imitation during the second middle 8 of the famous Jet Harris yell. It is the only Beatles track to be credited to Lennon and Harrison alone.

The history of Otis in the UK.
Waygood first started making lifts in 1833.
Otis first started making lifts in 1853.
1890s - Otis made their Birdcage design of lift. This was there first type of electric lift. This was very posh, single speed, and driven by a handle. Meanwhile Waygood were also starting to make electric lifts.
1900s - Waygood merged with the UK division of Otis. WaygoodOtis started making their Tramcar design of lift. This was a single speed automatic lift that did not require an operator. (but an operator was still required for their faster leveling lifts).
1920s - WaygoodOtis slightly updated their design of automatic lift. Also they started making semi-automatic leveling lifts where the operator would still drive the lift but the lift would level by itself.
1930s - Otis now made a design of lift that went 1m/s and leveled by itself and had automatic doors and could remember more than one call at a time (like a present day lift). At the time this was amazing state of the art new technology. Otis were making lifts that other companies did not make until the 1960s.
In the video I also show a 1930s goods lift of this sort. Without the 30s styling it seems like a fairly recent lift - ITS NOT it is actually 1930s - it shows how ahead of their time otis were!
Also from the 1930s onwards Otis also made cheaper legacy lifts, so that they would not loose trade from the people that could not afford their leveling lifts. These legacy lifts were like the lifts the companies were making, gated and single seed. (I am calling these legacy rather than cheap because they were still good quality and would out last any generic lift of today)
1960s - updated design, more heavy duty, but not that much different. Otis now also made very fast lifts with touch sensitive buttons.
1980s - A major update in design and styling. Lifts now have plastic white square buttons.
1990s to present day - Otis made some very nice posh 2000VFs and some rather dull 2000VFs. Also otis started making gen2s.
