Much of the music on the much-reported "giggling Beatles" tape up for auction isn't the Beatles at all, Fabs expert Doug Sulpy reports.

The song Don’t Let Me Down Like This was not the Beatles at all, but rather, Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers. Sulpy also identified Too Much Monkey Business, Nitty Gritty, Somethings Got A Hold On Me, and I Shall Not Be Moved as all being performed by The Hollies, though the Beatles did in fact cover Too Much Monkey Business.

So, the only actual “new” items on this tape, according to Sulpy, are the breakdowns between songs and a different version of I’ll Follow The Sun. The other tracks have appeared elsewhere.
