"In a letter from Pete Best to his mother, he recalls how he, Lennon and McCartney felt like stars boarding their plane, having been interviewed by a member of the press about them being voted Liverpool's number one band."
"Mike McCartney stated, 'It's fascinating, because they [give] you so many secrets about them as they are developing. It was quite extraordinary, because our kid is just saying what's happening there in a foreign land, over the water.'"
A rare exhibition in Hamburg will showcase letters and photos from the Beatles' early years, highlighting their experiences from 1960 to 62.
