Great early Beatles pics, some I never seen before, I once read that Pete Best refused to wear his hair in that (later 'known) Beatle cut, which a lot of art students were wearing for years before this, he wanted to stay with the 50's slick back look, I can see why Ringo was accepted, it's his whole personality, while Pete Best was moody & just didn't fit in, & also Ringo was a better drummer.
The album "Live at the star club, Hamburg" was one of my favorites when it was released back in the late 70's, I don't think it ever went to CD, but their versions of Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins were great, even though it wasn't that great of a recording (somebody recorded it on a reel to reel tape recorder) that was made back in the early 60's, but the raw energy of the Beatles, reminds me of Punk rock when it came out in the late 70's, a lot of mistakes but a lot of energy, & by the way, it so happens that Ringo played that night when it was recorded, maybe Pete Best couldn't make it.

a more famous one i've sure y'all have seen, but the full version...with feej on the right.

i believe this was george's first gig...a wedding of some family friend of the boys, if memory serves.

George's first gig and the first "official" color picture of the boys {from what I've read}.

Agreed, I have the album and love it!

There's a lot of different stories put out about Pete's sacking -- one is the hair story, but I think that was part of the larger picture of his not really being "one of the boys", where Ringo was more of a natural fit. There's also the claim that he just wasn't that good of a drummer. Not to mention that Mona Best was said to be too domineering and they didn't want to deal with her. And, finally, some good old fashioned jealousy of Pete being the best looking...

Thanks, Starbuck, I love all these photos when the Beatles were babies

Yes, Starbuck thanks for the great photos, about Pete Best, compared to Ringo, can you imagine the Beatles hitting America like they did with Pete Best?? in '64, I don't think it took good looks, but a great personality that made The Beatles who they are, Ringo had that, but Pete Best?? I remember him from a T.V. show I can't remember the name, but it was like what's my line or something like that, in the 60's, & he came across like a guy who had no personality at all, he was just dumb struck.
