I wasn't an immediate fan of the Beatles until Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was released in June, 1967. I do have a photo of them taken in Southend when they played there in 1963 or 1964. I also enjoyed The Searchers, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Hollies and The Animals. I was very late to the dance floor. Whenever possible I would go to all their concerts at The Gaumont or the Albert Hall and consequently saw Dusty, Roy O, Ike and Tina Turner, Inez and Charlie Fox, the Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel and many other bands. I was completely hooked on their music.
So, belatedly I have tried to catch up on the Beatles and this week I am powering my way through:
The John Lennon Letters Edited by Hunter Davies which is a real treat.
