It was 50 years ago this month that the very first Beatles-related recordings were produced, in the living room of a Liverpool shopkeer. You'll hear both sides of the acetate single recorded by The Quarry Men that fateful day. Plus, my favorite rooftop track and another delight from the "Across the Universe" soundtrack.
