The Beatles' First Recording Was a Cover Song - Apparently.
The Beatles' first recording, made on June 6, 1962, was a cover of the song "My Baby's Just Cried" (also known as "My Baby Just Cried"), written by Johnny Burnette. This session was a demo recording for the record label Parlophone, which would later become their primary label. The recording was not released until 1977, 15 years after the Beatles' rise to fame.
