Sorry, I mispelled It.

It is The Quarrymen, the band that later envolved into The Beatles. They published a single in the late 50's, I think It is considered the first Beatles record. And if I remember correctly BZ posted his copy on the thread.

Anybody else remember that?

I never saw that. I am a Beatles collector. No Quarrymen singles were released. They did record a single acetate of  two songs:

 The only copy to ever come up for auction sold to Paul McCartney for a lot of money. There are not supposed to be any others.

If Bangzoom got his hands on it I'd love to know. I doubt it because I don't think he's super-rich.

Maybe more likely is that he posted a copy of the first official recording put out for sale by members of the Beatles - My Bonnie and The Saints, a 1961 German only 45.

I have stated this before.  This is the greatest thread in the history of the Internet.  Thanks, BZ.  I will never forget it.

There was only the one copy ever made as far as I know.

 

“The finished record was shared between the boys although John got it first (of course!) Over the years they all got to have it until it finished up with Duff Lowe who held on to it until 1981 when he sold the recordings to Paul McCartney. Their estimated value at the time was around £12,000. McCartney had the record remastered and the songs reappeared on The Beatles’ Anthology 1album. In 2004, Record Collector magazine named the original pressing as the most valuable record in existence, estimating its worth at £100,000.”

 

Its also notable for this:
