The Beatles - 1957 - 1960 - Quarrymen
The Quarrymen (sometimes written "Quarry Men") are a British skiffle band, initially formed in Liverpool in 1956, who evolved over a four-year period into The Beatles. Originally consisting of John Lennon and several schoolfriends, The Quarrymen took their name from Quarry Bank High school which Lennon and most of the other band members attended. Lennon's mother, Julia Lennon, taught her son to play the banjo and then showed Lennon and Eric Griffiths how to tune their guitars in the same way as the banjo, and taught them simple chords and songs. Lennon started a band that initially called themselves The Blackjacks. Finding out that another group had the same name, Pete Shotton suggested renaming themselves The Quarrymen, based on a word in the Quarry Bank school's song. The Quarrymen played at parties, school dances, a cinema and amateur skiffle contests before Paul McCartney joined the band. George Harrison only joined the band at McCartney's insistence, as Lennon thought Harrison to be far too young. They made an amateur recording of themselves in 1958, performing Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day" and "In Spite of All the Danger" - a song written by McCartney and Harrison). In early 1960, the group started experimenting with alternative names. After Lennon recruited his art school pal Stuart Sutcliffe to the band, they changed their name to The Silver Beetles, before finally settling on The Beatles in August 1960 when they first performed in Hamburg. In 1999 four original members of the group reformed as "John Lennon's Original Quarrymen". 01 - Putting On The Style [live] 02 - That'll Be The Day 03 - In Spite Of All The Danger 04 - I'll Always Be In Love With You [Home-Tape] 05 - Unknown 06 - Some Days [Home-Tape] 07 - I Don't Need No Ciggarette, Boy [Home-Tape] 08 - One After 909 [Home-Tape] 09 - One After 909 [Home-Tape] 10 - Cayenne [Home-Tape] 11 - Hallelujah!
