Forgotten Beatles tapes recorded at lost Liverpool studio

Lost tapes from some of Liverpool's biggest names of the past have been unearthed,

When Percy Phillips opened the city's first ever recording studio in Kensington out of the living room of his house, the World War One veteran probably didn't expect some of the biggest names of all time to come through the door. However, on July 12, 1958, a young band called the Quarrymen each paid in a pound to use the studio.

The Quarrymen would of course go on to form the Beatles. They weren't the only stars to use the studio however, with Billy Fury and Ken Dodd cutting their first records there.
