WHY WERENT THEY BILLED AS THE BEATLES ON THAT ALBUM?................... THE BEATLES MADE THEIR FIRST ALBUM ON THIS DAY- JUNE 24, 1961. THE BEATLES BACKED SINGER TONY SHERIDAN ON HIS ALBUM BY PLAYING BACKGROUND ON HIS SONGS MY BONNIE, THE SAINTS AND FEW OTHER SONGS IN HAMBURG, GERMANY. WHEN THE ALBUM (MY BONNIE) WAS RELEASED, IT WAS CREDITED TO TONY SHERIDAN AND THE BEAT BROTHERS. BUT WHY NOT THE BEATLES? THE WORD BEATLES WAS JUDGED TO SOUND TOO SIMILAR TO THE HAMBURG SLANG WORD PIDELS (PRONOUNCED PEEDLES). THIS WAS THE PLURAL SLANG FOR THE WORD PENIS AND THUS, ON THEIR FIRST-EVER ALBUM, THE BEATLES WERE CREDITED AS THE BEAT BROTHERS.
