	Stu and Pete - Stu Sutcliffe and Pete Best, early Beatles
		Pete got a phone call from Paul McCartney asking him, "How'd you like to come to Hamburg with The Beatles?" Pete was only too pleased to accept and successfully auditioned for the group at Allan William's club.
		Pete Best himself is playing before a sold-out crowd, fronting a rowdy English-pub style band behind a banner that says "Best of the Beatles." It's a cocky gesture, but a fitting and well received one.
		After the show, a tired but happy Pete Best was gracious and open, even though he and the band were driving to New York that night to catch a plane to Los Angeles the next morning.

	Pete Best - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Randolph Peter Best (born 24 November 1941 in Madras, India) was the original drummer for The Beatles.
		Best therefore was not privy to many of the group's experiences, references, in-jokes and developing sense of style; when the band adopted the mop-top-style Beatle haircut, Best did not follow suit.
		Best then relocated to the United States — along with two songwriting musicians from The Remo Four, Wayne Bickerton and Tony Waddington — as The Pete Best Four, and did some recording for small labels.

		Best, who brings his Beatles cover band to Fairfax this week, was there at the beginning.
		Before Brian Epstein came on the scene, Best's mother served as de facto manager for the group she called "Pete's band." The girls loved Pete, but the rap (from his mom and others) was that the remaining Beatles were jealous of the charismatic drummer's good looks.
		Stung by the slight, Best passed up a chance to join the Merseybeats, another Liverpool band in Epstein's stable of pop acts, and took to pounding the skins for the now-obscure Lee Curtis and the Allstars (a gig arranged secretly by the guilt-ridden Epstein).

	THE ARTS / Pete Best: once a Beatle, always a Beatle
		That his role as a Beatle is usually downplayed remains as mysterious to Best as his ouster from the band on June 6, 1962, only weeks before the burst of Beatlemania.
		A chance was exactly what Best felt robbed of when his best friends abandoned him to become the most influential rock group in the universe.
		Best's older brother, Rory, stopped him, and the moment served as a major turning point in his life.

		Pete Best was with the Beatles during the early sixties, when they had yet to hit the big time.
		Pete Best sounds like a true, honest to goodness gentleman, and I must admit that his firing is by far one of the more seedier, dirtier chapters of Beatle lore.
		As far as Pete's drumming goes, a Keith Moon he was not, but he did what was required and being a drummer myself, I think the whole thing about not being good enough was a wrong assesment.

		He didn't become an international sensation like his mates, but while real Beatlemania was raging, he had modest success with the Pete Best Four and a satisfying 25-year career as counselor with the British Civil Service.
		Today, Best, one of only six people -- living or dead -- who can claim to have been a member of the Beatles, retells his tumultuous tale without a trace of regret.
