In 1963, with their first two singles, the Beatles caused an unprecedented storm in the music world and changed popular music forever. But even today, few people still know that the famous group of four guys from Liverpool - John, Paul, George and Ringo - gained their reputation until August 1962 as the ensemble John, Paul, George and... Pete. Since the summer of 1960, Pete Best has been the band's drummer. He accompanied the group for two years while they gained experience, which opened the path to fame. However, the road came to an abrupt end for Pete when, in 1962, on the verge of the group's worldwide triumph, he was suspended for no apparent reason. Pete Best remained silent for more than twenty years, so that he could be the first of the Beatles to tell the story of those cash-strapped years. Pete met John, Paul and George in the late 50s, when young people all over Merseyside were forming their own rock bands, at a time when the BEATLES were first contracted as "stars" to perform in Hamburg nightspots. In this autobiography, he describes the everyday life of those bygone years, the taste of his first success, the indescribable story of his “dismissal,” the depression that followed, his suicide attempt and finally his futile efforts to remain in show business. Pete Best didn't hesitate to turn to his own collection to illustrate the story of John, Paul, George and... Pete. It's a heartfelt and moving tale, a definitive look at the journey of the greatest band in rock history.
