A number of songs were recorded, including My Bonnie, which Polydor chose to release as a single in Germany. The B-side was The Saints, a beat version of When The Saints Go Marching In. The single, credited to Tony Sheridan and The Beat Brothers, was released on 23th. October 1961, and reached number five in the German charts.
