Sweet Georgia Brown (revised lyrics, Atco mix)

~ Recording by The Beatles with Tony Sheridan

Annotation

Atlantic's mix was made from the fold down remaster of the revised lyrics mix with added drums and guitar. Complicating the release history is that Tony had previously recorded the song on Dec 21 1961, and this 1961 version was used on the My Bonnie LP. The LP was released in June 1962, just after he'd done the vocal for the Beatles version! The non-Beatles recording has no backup vocals, among other differences.

The following release uses a mock stereo remaster of this mix:
US: Atco SD 33-169 Ain't She Sweet 1964.
