This one I do have on a bootleg. It is frankly pretty awful given it is around the time of their first recording sessions for Parlophone. Thank God someone talked John out of playing a harmonica on "I Saw Her Standing There" when it was recorded, and George did not have his guitar tuned well that day and played some really bad out of tune licks throughout. If I had been Brian Epstein walking in on this rehearsal in 1961, hearing them for the first time, I might have passed on signing them......

I knew this sounded like the version I have of Catswalk. Turns out it is. I have Catswalk (version 1) and One After 909 (Version No 2) from this on a boot called Not For Sale. I don't have this version of I Saw Her Standing There.

Well, they apparently were already signed at this point. Ringo says it's him on drums. Although Paul has that cartoony harmony vocals that's all over the Decca Sessions.

A bit late to the party - as usual! Every version of this I have claims it to have been recorded either Sept or Oct 1962. If so, then Ringo remembered correctly I did check Lewisohn's book but although the band is listed as playing at the Cavern, no mention is made of these recordings.
