Signed D.C. here, a transplanted New Yorker in Toronto. Here's some cultural detritus that I enjoy, with a heavy emphasis on trashy old stuff and vintage rock & roll. I joined tumblr mainly to be a follower of others--lord knows I'm lazy enough about updating my old "regular" blog (streetsyoucrossed.blogspot.com)--but we'll see how it goes. I also help co-run fuckyeahtonyhicks. Please don't take it personally if I can't follow you back...it's probably not you, I just only have so many hours in the day for tumblrin'!

This rare image was discovered on a negative given to Stephen Bailey, owner of “The Beatles Shop” on Mathew Street, Liverpool: The Beatles with a few lucky early fans, presumably on 13 July 1961 at St John’s Hall, Tuebrook, Liverpool. This was their first concert after having returned home from playing Hamburg’s Top Ten Club.

The Liverpool Echo published this photo and is looking to identify the fans pictured here. Here’s the original article for anyone who’s interested.
