    Well, no one has commented yet, but for me this is exactly the kind of story that interests me the most. Documentation, especially when the key actors are dead or can't remember, is the key to building an increasingly accurate account of history. It's also a good example of how Lewishon's work will never be finished because he has already said in an interview that he will have to revise some aspects of volume 1 of Tune In.
    OK, it may not be the most important set of questions about the Beatles early history, but I for one was frustrated that the Polydor recordings could not be definitely identified, nor a complete account provided forwhen they were recorded. This moves the debate on for sure.

    Is Nobody's Child the same song, later recorded by the Wilburys.

    They are the same, but quite different arrangements.

    Ringo's mother Elsie always requested "Nobody's Child" at the family parties, and he would sing it to her. 😉

    So The Wilburys covered a song from the Beatles Hamburg repetoire

    Interesting that "Cry for a Shadow" is listed as "Cry for a Shadow" on the receipt, and not as "Beatle Bop". I believed that Polydor re-named it without the Beatles' knowledge, shortly before it was released, but on this evidence, it was going by that name already and the group would have known.
