<B>The Beatles (Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers) "My Bonnie"/"The Saints" 45 Decca 31382 (1962).</B></I> It's the rarest of rare Beatles' records, rarer even than the promo version, a copy of which is also being offered in this auction. The record went nowhere upon its release, and many of the few copies produced were trashed, explaining why the promo copies actually outnumber the stock commercial version. Only when Beatlemania began in the States in earnest in 1964, was the record re-released on the MGM label, and, riding the coattails of the Capitol and Vee-Jay releases, managed to climb to #26 before quickly falling off Billboard's Hot 100 charts. As collectors became historians, of course, this release attained more and more stature as an extremely rare item. This copy is in very nice condition; there is a name written across the A-side label. The B-side is clean. Condition: EX 7.
