24.05.1962 Backing Tony Sheridan 
Although it certainly took place between 23 and 27 April, the exact date, and venue, of this one 1962 session - in which, as in the previous year, they backed Tony Sheridan - has proven impossible  to research. What is certain, is that they recorded 'Sweet Georgia Brown' on this  occassion.

Sweet Georgia Brown

(new vocal version recorded by Sheridan alone in February  1964.)

The  Beatles also recorded a song called Swanee River, which Sheridan already recorded earlier  on December 21. 1961.
