  This album has been released under many different titles on two or three
different labels.  All were recorded in 1962 when the Beatles backed up Tony
Sheridan (as the Beat Brothers).  More recent versions have, I believe, on the
cover a stack of newspapers with a headline "Beatles Top Poll" or some such.  
I've heard SGB from this album and it's fairly interesting.  I wouldn't spend
more than $4.99 for it on vinyl--I'm not sure about CDs.
