German producer Bert Kaempfert visited the Top Ten [club] on the recommendation of music publisher Alfred Schacht and singer Tommy Kent, and subsequently signed Sheridan and the Beatles to his company Bert Kaempfert Productions.
Kaempfert set up recording dates for 22-24 June at Hamburg's Friedrich-Ebert-Halle. Engineered by Karl Hinze, the session featured Sheridan and the Beatles playing "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean", "The Saints", "Why", "Nobody's Child", and "Take Out Some Insurance". The Beatles performed "Ain't She Sweet" and an original song, "Beatle Bop" (later titled "Cry for a Shadow"). Sutcliffe attended the session, but did not play, leaving McCartney to play bass.

Cry for a Shadow written by John & George
This was The Beatles’ second of two consecutive days of recording with singer Tony Sheridan at Friedrich-Ebert-Halle school in Hamburg.
The Beatles had been approached by orchestral leader and Polydor agent Bert Kaempfert, who wanted them as the backing band for Sheridan. On this day they were recorded, not at a professional studio, but at Hamburg’s Friedrich-Ebert-Halle.
The venue served as a function hall for the town of Harburg, and as an assembly hall for the local grammar and high schools. A number of musical performances took place there, including some skiffle and jazz shows, but rock ‘n’ roll was a rarity. The good acoustics, however, meant that it was often used by Polydor and Philips for recordings.
The Beatles and Sheridan recorded four songs over the two days: ‘My Bonnie’, ‘The Saints’, ‘Why’ and ‘Cry For A Shadow’. The latter was an instrumental, whereas the others all featured Sheridan on vocals. [Beatles Bible]

LinksTues. | June 29, 2021Today's links from JFK Boards are here:Incidents at Parkland | The ER Visitor Secret Service interview with Marina Oswald re-Richard NagellThor Able RocketsSixty Years On | June 29, 1961 Segment of a film report about Project ABLE (a solid rocket booster), dated from January 1959 and related with Pioneer 1 and 2.
"The "first in-orbit break-up event in space history" took place at 06:08:10 UTC, when the upper stage of an American Thor-Able rocket exploded into 298 fragments at an orbital altitude of roughly 600 miles.The launch marked the first three-satellite payload lifted into space: the Transit 4A navigational satellite, which was the first nuclear-powered device in orbit, with energy supplied by the Systems for Nuclear Auxiliary Power (SNAP) system, powered by the isotope plutonium-238; the Injun I "the first university-built satellite", designed to gather information on the Earths' radiation belts; and the second Galactic Radiation and Background satellite (GRAB 2), which measured stellar radiation, but also served as a spy satellite.[wiki]
These were the first real steps toward the Moon.
