"My Bonnie" was the first Beatles single formally recorded but this was a German import on the Polydor label. It was officially recorded in 1962 and credited to "Tony Sheridan and The Beat Brothers". It was famously the single a boy asked Brian Epstein for at his record shop in Liverpool. Brian hunted the band down and found them performing at "The Cavern Club" in Liverpool - so impressed was Brian by the sound that he signed them up and managed them. The rest is history. The reason for the "Beat Brothers" credit was that in Germany the word 'pidels', pronounced 'peedles', was plural slang for 'penis'.

"Love Me Do" was the first UK single and was released 5th October 1962. It reached number 17 in the UK charts.

"Please Please Me" was the second UK single. It reached number two 17th January 1963.
