The Beatles' first original composition to be professionally recorded, Cry For A Shadow was an instrumental written by John Lennon and George Harrison. 'Cry For A Shadow' is the only known composition to be credited to Harrison-Lennon. The title and Harrison's lead guitar work suggest the influence of The Shadows, Cliff Richard's backing band. Although The Beatles were largely dismissive of The Shadows, their hit Apache was occasionally a feature of the lengthy German shows.
