Background

It seemed as though every time a new Beatles album came out, this batch of Beatles songs from their recording sessions with Tony Sheridan would come out to coincide with it's release. This time, Polydor records was the label to reissue these tracks circa 1960, as stated on the album cover (Incidentally, Polydor missed the year of these recordings by one year. The year should have been 1961). The release of this album came out two weeks before Apple records released The Beatles Let It Be album.


For the first time in the United States, this record contained all eight Tony Sheridan/Beatles songs. Also, for the first time, the songs were in stereo. The album just made the top 100 on Cash Box, but didn't make the top 100 on either Billboard or Record World's album charts. The track If You Love Me, Baby was listed as Take Out Some Insurance On Me Baby.
