This excellent reportage photography book was shot in the same year The Beatles performed their last show in their home city. This book documents the vacuum created by their departure and the fleeting moment when the world’s media descended “Mersey Sound” had the world’s media descended upon it. There’s plenty of shots inside the Cavern club and The Clayton Squares loading in their gear in Matthew Street. Also, Liverpool “beat” poet Adrian Henri is featured. It comes with a recording of 'The Clayton Squares" at the Cavern Club and "The Hideaways" at the Sink Club.
