Best of the Beatles - The Pete Best Band.
beatles saw
The togetherness, the camaraderie, the chemistry, the charisma: You never saw one of the Beatles by himself,
close houses john liked simply spent time together
I was close to John simply because I liked him as a person. He liked me as a person. We spent a lot of times at one another's houses back in Liverpool. We spent a lot of time together in Germany.
good happened maybe sure

When I came back into show business in '88 after spending 20-odd years in the civil service, it wasn't planned.

has-beens
I'm happier than I would have been with the Beatles.
saws world halls
We were at our best when we were playing in the dance halls of Liverpool and Hamburg. The world never saw that.
couple beer down-and
John and I would go and have a couple of quiet beers, just to sit down and chew the fat. And he'd talk about Cynthia and how much he missed her
