COMMENTS
BEST Of the Beatles, 1966 release on Savage Records BM 71. Very famous cover photo of the Beatles in Hamburg Germany includes Pete Best & Stu Sutcliffe.

"The Savage Young Beatles" was assigned catalog number BM 69, the disc appears to be the first LP issued by Savage Records. The original back cover states that the disc was "DISTRIBUTED by CASUAL, 126 W. 42nd. ST., N.Y.C." This is the same address by Bob Gallo and Bob Harvey. During that time, Gallo recorded several songs with the Pete Best Combo, which would be issued on a later Savage album. Pete Best confirmed that Savage Records was a Bob Gallo project.
