A man who produced one of the earliest full recordings of the Beatles playing live said the experience had “changed his life”.
John Bloomfield, who was 15-years-old at the time, said he had gone “from boy to man… in that very instant” and the concert had been “something we’d never vaguely experienced”. The show took place at Stowe boarding school in Buckinghamshire on April 4 1963, when the band played at the school’s theatre. The recording was shared by the BBC almost exactly 60 years after it was made.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Front Row, Mr Bloomfield, now in his 70s, said the event seemed “ridiculous in retrospect”.
