WORLD'S FIRST BEATLES
THE LONGEST LIST OF THE LONGEST
STUFF AT THE LONGEST DOMAIN NAME AT LONG LAST
Who were the first Beatles?
This one was really bugging us so
we looked it up and got pretty confused.
In March 1957 John Lennon and Pete Shotton started a
group called 'The Black Jacks' which was later changed to 'The Quarry Men'.
In July 1957 James Paul McCartney is introduced to The
Quarry Men and in October 1957 Paul McCartney makes his debut as a member of the
band.
In August 1958
George Harrison joined The Quarry Men and in 1959 The Quarry Men disband.
In 1959 John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison
and Ken Brown perform seven concerts at the Casbah Club, then Ken Brown leaves
but John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison go on as 'Johnny and the
Moondogs'.
In January
1960 Stu Sutcliff joins the group and in May 1960 Tommy Moore joins the band and
they rename themselves the 'Beetles' followed by the 'Silver Beetles', then in
June 1960 they changed once more to the 'Silver Beatles'.
At this point in time John Lennon, Paul McCartney,
George Harrison, Tommy Moore and Stu Sutcliff could be considered the first
Beatles, but we go on.
Tommy Moore so leaves the group and is replaced by Norman Chapman but he leaves
for service duty and in August 1960 Pete Best joins the group.
On August 18 1960 the group started playing in Hamburg,
Germany as the 'Beatles' featuring John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison,
Pete Best and Stu Sutcliff, the first true Beatles.
Ringo Starr did not join the Beatles until September
1962.
