Casbah poster found

Pete Howard at Poster Central has found another old poster advertising the Beatles. It’s hand drawn by Neil Aspinall and Mona Best, and is actually advertising a rare constellation of the Beatles: It’s from one of the concerts in late 1960 where Chas Newby was substituting for Stuart Sutcliffe.

This is the first British poster advertising The Beatles under that name. You will remember that an earlier, German poster advertising both Rory Storm and his Hurican as well as the Beatles was in use at the Kaiserkeller, Hamburg and has been reproduced in various colours over the years.
