Four very early photos of Beatle Ringo, taken either just before or very shortly after he officially joined the Beatles, c. August 1962. Some sources say these photos were taken in the Merseybeat offices.
On the 5th February 1962, Ringo played with The Beatles for the first time, standing in for Pete Best who was ill. He played a lunchtime show at the Cavern and an evening show at the Kingsway Club in Southport with John, Paul and George, completing the final Beatles line up for the first time.
