Really enjoyed watching from the Cavern to Ed Sullivan in three years. Particularly interesting as yesterday I was at the Liverpool Beatles museum where Pete Best presented three posters that Neil Aspinall made promoting them at gigs in Liverpool in Dec 1961 when the band had just returned from Hamburg and the excitement was building.
Pete gave an introduction and gave some interesting comments about this significant time in the Beatles history. The three very simple posters are now on display.

I couldn’t make it yesterday but will be going there soon to see them. An exciting find!
Thanks for your comments on the video too. David
Wish I could have been there!
