Friday, 19th October, 1962
The Beatles played a lunch time gig at The Cavern.
During its second week on the UK pop charts, Love Me Do climbed three spots to #46.
As could be expected the previous day’s issue of Mersey Beat had placed Love Me Do at the #1 poistion on its list of “Merseyside Tops.”
Alan J. Porter has been a Beatles fan since he first saw them perform on a regional British TV show back in 1963 when he was just a wee lad. He is the author of the critically acclaimed BEFORE THEY WERE BEATLES and occasional contributor to Beatlology Magazine. He now lives in Central Texas and occasionally writes about things other than The Fab Four. You can find out more here.
