A live recording of the Beatles from 1963 has been unearthed, capturing the near entirety of the Fab Four’s performance at a boys-only school in England.
It’s a before-they-were-huge story that could have been written by Wes Anderson; teenage boy at boarding school writes to Beatles manager Brian Epstein and books the band for £100, sells tickets and packs out the school hall. His classmate records the set, sits on it, and only now after 60 years he shares all of the details with BBC Radio 4.
