------------------------------------------------------------------------

1957
The Quarry Men au***ion for "Mr. Star-Maker", Carroll Levis, at one
of Levis' "TV Star Search" shows which he puts on all over Britain.
Unfortunately, The Quarry Men fail to make it past the first round
of competition, losing out to the Sunnyside Skiffle Group. (1454)

1960
The Silver Beetles appear at the Neston Institute, Wirral. (1415)

1961
The Beatles perform at the Top Ten Club, Reeperbahn, Hamburg, West
Germany. (1184)

1962
The Beatles perform at the ****rn Club, Liverpool - a night
session. Just back from Hamburg, The Beatles appear at The ****rn
for a "Beatles Welcome Home Show", setting a new attendance record
at the club (900). (1468)

1963
The Beatles, on the last night of their tour with Roy Orbison,
perform at King George's Hall, Blackburn, Lancashire. It was
during this tour that The Beatles' fans had started throwing jelly
babies at them while they were performing on stage, owing to an
off-the-cuff remark on television that George Harrison enjoyed
eating them. (1810)

1964
US release of interview LP "The Beatles American Tour With Ed Rudy"
(Radio Pulsebeat News Documentary No. 2). Interviews taped during
The Beatles' visit to the US in Feb. 1964. 13 weeks on Billboard
chart; highest position #20. (22)

1964
The Beatles, on their first world tour, perform two shows at the
Princess Theatre in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Neither show is a
sell-out, due to the extraordinarily high ticket price that the
promoter had set (without Brian Epstein's knowledge). The price of
a ticket to see The Beatles was equal to an average worker's
earnings for a week. The Beatles had been met at the airport in
Hong Kong by a thousand fans. Drummer Jimmy Nicol continues to
fill in for the ailing Ringo Starr. (2123)

1966
The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios,
London). "Good Day Sunshine" is finished. Ad***ional overdubs are
recorded, including George Martin's honky-tonk piano part. (2535)

On the UK television show "Top of the Pops", a promo film of The
Beatles' song "Rain" is broadcast. The film clip shows The Beatles
in the gardens of Chiswick House. (2538)

1967
The Beatles in the recording studio (Studio Two, EMI Studios,
London). The first attempt at assembling a complete song out of
the parts recorded for "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)". By
the end of the session, the basic track is mixed and ready for
vocal overdubs, but these will not be added until April 30, 1969.
