Any of you asshats know where one could illegally procure the lost lennon tapes? I'm told there's a version of him singing "honey don't" that I've never heard.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rYteuGhHYg&feature=em-subs_digest&list=TLJXw7vs4TdH8debate still going on about John's tone on Hold Your Hand, but there's an interesting thing which can be seen in this video which is not in any of the beatle muso books - John drops out just before the chorus, and just taps in time on his guitar rather than playing the B7 - its there in the original record aswell.

turns out that the last song on beatles for sale is not actually a carl perkins song as everyone including george thought. some guy called rex griffin wrote it back in the late 30s. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHOK0YSjBU0there's another interesting thing about this guy - "to ramona" bears more than a slight resemblance to his song "the last letter" |

fun times on facebook. for those not on that there's a spat going on between mersey beat heavies Bill Harry and Sam Leach. Ted is Ted Taylor of the Dominoes.
"I have always promoted Sam Leach and tried to get him his due in books, magazines and videos. His first real acknowledgement in a book was when I wrote about him in my 'Beatles Who's Who.' I then suggested Philip Norman interview him for 'Shout' and over the years I have suggested to numerous interviewers that they should contact Sam when they were in Liverpool. I was very disappointed to see that he has come up with quite a nasty and vicious and unwarranted tirade against me on Ted's site. Ted is usually careful in not trying to get people use hostile comments against others, but I suppose in this instance he didn't care. I don't want to hear anything more about this affair from Ted or anyone else. If they want to promote mud-slinging, let them go ahead without me getting involved."

just for historical reference I'm gonna track a couple of their posts here coz they'll probably be taken down, there's a couple of interesting points made
Passed up on buying a used copy of "The Birth Of The Beatles" by Sam Leach the other day. What is your opinion on this book? A number of interesting photos I hadn't seen before, but would it have been worth it for more than that?
Bill Harry : Sam had nothing to do with me and Mersey Beat as he purports in the book. We knew Sam and got on with him, but we had no discussions with him re Mersey Beat and he never made any suggestion about me doing a ROCK AND ROLL NEWSPAPER. At one time, after working on Frank Hessy's magazine I was considering a jazz magazine called Storyville and 52nd Street. Sam was dealing with the people at the Storyville Jazz Club and I asked Sam if they would be interested in sponsoring it. He said he would like to sponsor it. He made four appointments with me and never turned up. His friend Dick Mathews knew about this and said a friend of his would provide me with the initial finance. By that time, since I'd become friends with people like Casey Jones, Adrian Barber, Rory Storm and had begin making notes and researching the local rock and roll scene, I realised that I wanted to cover that particular scene not a jazz one. I thought of the name of the newspaper in the office in the early hours of one morning by working out the area I'd be covering and having the image of a policeman on his beat - the Mersey area would be my beat, therefore I called it Mersey Beat.
Sam Leach : Hi Teddy - can I tell you something. Bill Harry does NOT own copyright of Merseybeat - either the place or title as you are not allowed to copyright a geographical title or name.
He KNOWS this s tEll him from me he' kidding people. And whilst the newspaper Mersey Beat is his copyright name it ONLY applies to the paper. And George Harrison, a famous Liverpool Echo columnist, had a column for many years BEFORE Bill, called 'Mersey Beat' - and Bill knows that too !!
As you may know Bill asked me to finance and promote a JAZZ mag called 'Storeyville and 52 Streezt' but I later told him to forget Jazz and do a Rock paper instead. When I lost the Cassanova Club And therefore couldn't continue with supporting Bill I persuaded My best mate Dick Matthews and Jim Anderson, my chief cashier, to put up £200 which they did. Dick also allowed Bill to use his photos in the paper.
Bill illegally pushed Dick out of the partnership - physically too. please let Bill see this post if you can and if he says this is untrue - then SUE !!! Recently Bill has even tried to falsely claim a joint copyright with Dick's great photos which is more Bill Harry bullshit. But, don't get me wrong, I freely admit Bill eventually did a great job in producing the paper which was a great boon to our Merseybeat scene.
Ted Taylor : I can only speak for myself, although many others will claim the same story. Nearly all of the American records came in via the Cross Atlantic Ships, which docked in Liverpool. From late 1955, I was getting records that were not released in the UK, until Months later, and in the case of Black Performers, perhaps NEVER got released in the UK. This resulted, in my case, turning from Skiffle, to Rock and Roll, faster than other people, who did not have such easy access to this outlet of records from the USA. PS. Thanks for the TV series link
Sam : Hi Teddy - I've always said that YOU got those records via subscription from Chess and Dot Records.
.I met a guy called Chess in Chicago who confirmed that. I am pretty sure he was the original owner -
-or a close relative. All the Merseybeat bands - Including the Beatles - would watch your shows and take note of the words and chord of the songs that you and the Dominoes performed.
John - the thing about Merchant Nav guys bringing in the records is only about 50% correct.
Teddy Taylor brought in the rest !!
Bob - 50% was the Cunard Yanks and Teddy Taylor was the other 50%" Then I took over and showed the other promoters how to promote
Ted : Liverpool was a buzzing City Bob Nasca, long before the Mersey Beat tag. And, as Wes Paul Simpson-Gerrard said, without all of the promoters, who had faith in our music, it would never have gone anywhere. God Bless them all.
Bill : I have always promoted Sam Leach and tried to get him his due in books, magazines and videos. His first real acknowledgement in a book was when I wrote about him in my 'Beatles Who's Who.' I then suggested Philip Norman interview him for 'Shout' and over the years I have suggested to numerous interviewers that they should contact Sam when they were in Liverpool. I was very disappointed to see that he has come up with quite a nasty and vicious and unwarranted tirade against me on Ted's site. Ted is usually careful in not trying to get people use hostile comments against others, but I suppose in this instance he didn't care. I don't want to hear anything more about this affair from Ted or anyone else. If they want to promote mud-slinging, let them go ahead without me getting involved.
Ted : Just before you all throw your Dummies out of the pram, let me tell you all that Bill Mersey Beat, sent me an E.Mail, Date and Time are as follows: -----Ursprüngliche Mitteilung-----
Von: Bill Harry <billharry@aol.com>
An: KingsizeTaylor <KingsizeTaylor@aol.com>
Verschickt: Mo, 22 Jul 2013 4:52 pm
Betreff: Bill Harry _____ In this mail he did give me details contradicting the Statement posted by Sam Leach. I sent a nice reply back to Bill, and asked him for his permission to sort this potential argument out, to which I have had no reply. 2 Hours later Bill Mersey Beat put this comment out. I am willing to post the whole of my correspondence with Bill, just to show you all that this statement is an out and out LIE. So come on Mersey Beat, make your mind up.
