Hi there. I'm a first timer to the forum and what a fantastic forum it is. I am a life-long Beatles fan as well as being born and still living in Liverpool. Anyway, the point of my first posting is an article linked to Sky News the other day regarding the auction of the first Beatles contract with Brian Epstein (allegedly). The article states Ringo signed it (with his real name) on January 24th 1962 but he didn't actually join the band until August of that year. No wonder there is so much inaccurate history on the Beatles out there when journalists can't be bothered getting their stories correct for millions of people to read. Sorry if this is a slightly sad and pathetic posting but it just bugged me when I read it. The link to the article is www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,,24297839-16947,00.html?from=public_rss

Welcome to the Beatle Forum Mr Mustard I saw a similar article in the Daily Mirror a couple of weeks back - they had a photo of the contract. I suspect it was the one they signed later in their career.
