NOTES. The first of ten appearances on Saturday Club.
This programme was set up in 1958, offering a mix of pop,
jazz, country, and rock. Being the only chance to hear this
kind of music on the BBC, it soon gained great popularity
in Great Britain and was an essential promotional medium
for any artist. The Beatles took this opportunity to present
their brand-new single, "Please Please Me", together with
their first one. These two tracks are not currently available,
however the rest of the programme features three very i
nteresting items, two of which have never been recorded elsewhere.

THE SONGS:
1. "Some Other Guy".
This song was recorded by Ritchie Barrett in May 1962
and quickly became a favourite of many groups. A very
famous Beatles live version was filmed at the Cavern Club
on August 22, 1962. The group presented this song at
the BBC three times.
Lead vocalist: John.
4. "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby".
This Goffin-King song was released in 1962 by Little Eva,
and this is the only Beatles version known to exist.
Lead vocalist: John.
5. "Beautiful Dreamer". An old song written in the second
half of the nineteenth century by Stephen Foster, which had other
versions by Bing Crosby and Al Jolson. It became very famous
in the fifties, and the Beatles probably learned their rock 'n' roll
arrangement during their time in Hamburg. It was recorded there
by fellow Liverpudlians, the Searchers, who released their version
later in 1963. It is the Beatles' only known recorded performance.
Lead vocalist: Paul.
