Funniest claim I've heard in years

Post by Lord Reith »

From Wikipedia:
Listen to the drumming style of (I'm gonna) Sit Right Down and Cry - it's very similar to that on My Bonnie, Tony Sheridan's single with The Beatles as backing group (under the pseudonym The Beat Brothers), recorded for Polydor in 1961, on which Pete Best played drums. My conclusion is that Pete Best played on both of these recordings, not Ringo, and that the first track was one of the songs recorded at the BBC in Manchester in March or June of 1962, before the band even had a recording contract. I'm fairly convinced that this is the case but nowhere on the internet, in Mark Lewisohn's authoritative publications, or anywhere else is this theory put forward.

It very well could've been Pete. Albeit in a time-travelly, Being John Malkovich kinda way.

A better drummer temporarily hijacked his body and was later dumped onto the side of the New Jersey Turnpike.

The thought of spending eternity in New Jersey is too cruel.
