Unique vintage glossy 5 x 3.5 candid photo of the Beatles on stage, with the notable presence of Pete Best on drums, signed and inscribed on the reverse in black ballpoint, "To Pam from, George Harrison, xxxx," "To Pam, Love Paul McCartney, xxx," and "To Pam, love John Lennon, x.” Also includes a ballpoint signature, "Best wishes, from Pete Best," on a yellow 3.5 x 2.25 card. In overall very good condition, with moderate overall creasing, and surface paper loss beneath (and not affecting) the signatures. The Beatles invited Best to join their band on August 12, 1960, on the eve of the group's first Hamburg season of club dates. Under the guidance of manager Brian Epstein, the Beatles replaced Best two years later with Ringo Starr following their first recording session at Abbey Road Studios in London.
