Poor Peter Best; he watched as the band for whom he was a critically important drummer (and whose mom helped get the band started as professionals) went on to undreamt-of success after he was sacked in August 1962. Brian Epstein promised Pete he would build a band around him, but after 5 years of struggle to achieve even a modest musical career, Pete gave up. He took a job at a bakery; it wasn't until decades later that he got a small amount of fame appearing at Beatles conventions as "The Beatle That Time Forgot".
Here's a scarce relic of Pete Best's 1966 attempt to score with a Shirelles song he sang as a Beatle in those early days. To add insult to injury, The Fabs had Ringo sing Boys after Pete was fired; it became a signature tune for the new drummer.
Hard to find in any condition; especially valuable as a clean M- PROMO...
One only...don't miss it!
