"Cry for a Shadow"
Written by George Harrison-John Lennon
Produced by Bert Kaempfert
Recorded June 22nd and 23rd, 1961, Friedrich-Ebert-Halle, Hamburg, Germany
First released by Tony Sheridan on the Mister Twist EP in France in April 1962
Composed mainly by George Harrison and cut almost as an afterthought at the Beatles' first professional recording session, this rough instrumental diamond was the guitarist's official bow as a songwriter. More importantly, "Cry for a Shadow" was the first original Beatles song to be recorded in a studio and the first to appear on record -- six months before the British release of "Love Me Do" in October 1962. In a handwritten bio sheet from the period, Paul McCartney declared that he and John Lennon, between them, had written "around seventy songs." But it was eighteen-year-old Harrison who got top billing the first time around.

Hi I think the fisrt single recorded by the Beatles when Ringo Star became the drummer was 'Love Me Do'. I know it was released in October 1962 so I imagine this must be the one you want.
Hope it helps.

"Love Me Do" was their first released hit, but it may not have been their first recorded single.
