Source for Purdie Overdubs?
What is the source for the Bernard Purdie story? Purdie was never anywhere near the actual Beatles recording sessions, even these early Hamburg ones. And the bit about Atlantic not being impressed by Pete Best's drumming doesn't ring true; this was a cheap cash-in release of another label's material (the Sheridan/Beatles material was recorded for, released on, and owned by Polydor, not Atlantic/ATCO). Why would they bother dubbing drums? This kind of thing (making an LP out of a few tracks from someplace and padding it out with junk from some other unrelated artist) was widespread in the 50s and 60s (see any release on Halo Records). There's no way they'd go to the trouble of overdubbing new tracks; if anything they'd want to overdub onto the non-Beatles schlock they padded it out with. Also, while Best was a crappy drummer, none of the releases I've heard of these tracks suggest any superior sessions overdubs (though I've never heard this exact vinyl release). Logically, it just doesn't make sense. But if it is true, a source would be nice. 216.231.46.147 (talk) 01:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
