1961: According to the Beatles'
manager, Brian Epstein, this is the day on which a customer named
Raymond Jones entered Epstein's Liverpool record store, NEMS, and
requested a copy of the Beatles singing "My Bonnie" (a 45 the group had
cut in Hamburg, Germany with singer Tony Sheridan). Epstein, impressed
that someone would ask for a record cut by a local group but only
available as an import, tracks the band down at the Cavern Club and
offers to manage them. Several Liverpool scenesters have since cast
doubt on this story, claiming the group was already well-known in town.
