Beatles Decca 1962 Sheik of Araby Instrumental

"The Sheik of Araby" is a song that was written in 1921 by Harry B. Smith and Francis Wheeler, with music by Ted Snyder. It was composed in response to the popularity of the Rudolph Valentino feature film The Sheik. In 1926, to go with the film The Son of the Sheik, Ted Snyder worked parts of the melody into "That Night in Araby", a related song with words by Billy Rose.
The Beatles recorded a version of The Sheik Of Araby during their unsuccessful audition for Decca Records on 1 January 1962. The group based their arrangement on a rock 'n' roll version released by Joe Brown and The Bruvvers in 1961. George Harrison was a big fan of Brown, and sang lead vocals on The Beatles' version and The Sheik Of Araby had proved a popular number onstage in Liverpool and Hamburg.
