- Brian Epstein of NEMS met the Beatles at the Cavern Club on 9 November 1961 and, five weeks later, returned alone to set a 4:30 p.m. meeting at the NEMS store.
- The wary Beatles brought DJ Bob Wooler, delayed the start while Paul bathed, heard Epstein volunteer despite no experience, and accepted his offer without a vote.
- Philip Norman’s book “Mr. Moonlight,” published on 16 June 2026, recounts these events.
