Pete Best the 5th Beatle Drummer 1960/62 signed Internetstamps official 2003 FDC. Super cover from Buckingham covers with 1st Class record cover stamp and 30/1/2009 Liverpool postmark, 1st Class portrait stamp with Merseyside Music Abbey Road London postmark plus 50th ann Cavern Club 16/1/2007 cachet with early 1 1/2d green stamp and The Beatles Final Live performance 30/1/1969 cachet. Nice early image of the Fab Four on the cover. Numbered out of 100 issued to reverse with nice Beatles Facts information below. Randolph Peter Best is an English musician who was the drummer for The Beatles from 1960 to 1962. He was dismissed immediately prior to the band achieving worldwide fame and is one of several people who have been referred to as a fifth Beatle. Best's mother, Mona Best (1924 1988), opened the Casbah Coffee Club in the cellar of the Bests' house in Liverpool. The Beatles (at the time known as the Quarrymen) played some of their first concerts at the club. The Beatles invited Best to join the band on 12 August 1960, on the eve of the group's first Hamburg season of club dates. Ringo Starr eventually replaced Best on 16 August 1962 when the group's manager, Brian Epstein, fired Best at the request of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison following the band's first recording session. Over 30 years later, Best received a major monetary payout for his work with the Beatles after the release of their 1995 compilation of their early recordings on Anthology 1; Best played the drums on 10 of the album's tracks, including the Decca auditions. After working in several commercially unsuccessful groups, Best gave up being in the music industry to work as a civil servant for 20 years before starting the Pete Best Band. Good condition.
