I Saw Her Standing There is a compilation album by the English rock band the Beatles. Available as both a 2-CD and a 2-LP set, it is a collection of their early recordings, featuring songs from the band's Decca audition and performances from the Cavern Club, as well as their first ever radio interview. The album also includes the instrumental track "Cry for a Shadow", the only Beatles composition to be credited to "Harrison/Lennon".

CD version

The CD version of the album contains 49 songs, 29 of which are previously unreleased on any official Beatles album.[1]

Disc 1 is mainly compiled from recordings credited to rock and roll singer Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers, the name the Beatles used for their early Hamburg recordings as Sheridan's backing group. However, other Sheridan backing groups in the early 1960s also used the Beat Brothers name,[2] and Beatles participation can only be positively confirmed for tracks 1, 7, 10, 12, 13, and 19-21 from that group of recordings as presented on the first CD.[3]

Ringo Starr appears only on the last two tracks on disc 2.

LP version

Due to the limited amount of music that can fit on a vinyl record, the 2-LP version compiles only the highlights of the original CD, and contains 27 songs.
