Lot Essay

Although it is known that the Beatles occasionally played Roll Out The Barrel and Have a Go, Joe during their early performances at the Cavern, the songs had certainly disappeared from their stage repertoire by 1964. Although various recordings of interviews with the Beatles are in existence, this is believed to be the only known recording of the band playing piano and singing during a press conference.
