The Casbah Coffee Club, which opened in Liverpool on August 29, 1959, was the brainchild of Mona Best, the mother of Pete Best.

But less well known is that The Beatles origins were in fact at Petes mothers clubit was at the Casbah and with Mona Bests blessing that the greatest popular music phenomenon of the twentieth century began.And now, the basement club where The Quarrymen, The Silver Beatles, and finally The Beatles played over 90 times before they hit the Cavern has been reopened and revealed by this remarkable new book. The Casbahs significance cannot be overestimatedit brought together some of the greatest names in rock music and became the catalyst for the Mersey Beat phenomenon that swept Liverpool in the early 1960s.Seen here for the first time in forty years is the basements interior as it was at the very beginning, juxtaposed with the rooms as they are today, where the ceilings painted by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Pete Best still rest. A wealth of rare material from the club and the Bests own archives, together with newlycommissioned images by renowned photographer Sandro Sodano, documents the clubs and The Beatles intertwined stories.The Beatles: The True Beginnings also features accounts from early fans hearing the Beatles for the first time.
