06 February 1958 -The Quarry Men (John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Eric Griffiths, Colin Hanton, and perhaps John “Duff” Lowe) perform at Wilson Hall, Garston, Liverpool. Although the memories of the participants differ greatly as to when George Harrison met The Quarry Men for the first time, it is generally accepted that February 6 is the most plausible date. George was never officially asked to become a member of The Quarry Men, but he worked his way into the group by persistently sitting in during rehearsals and filling in when one of The Quarry Men was unable to perform.
Regardless of the confusion over the dates, George himself said of the meeting:
I’d been invited to see them play several times by Paul but for some reason never got round to it before.I remember being very impressed with John’s big thick sideboards and trendy teddyboy clothes. In a way, all that emotional rough stuff was simply a way for him to help separate the men from the boys, I think. I was never intimidated by him. Whenever he had a go at me I just gave him a little bit of his own right back.

With Ringo appearing on the “Cilla” television program, John, Paul and George hold a recording session without him. They finish “Lady Madonna” and just about complete “The Inner Light”. But they take time out to watch Ringo on the telly. For “Lady Madonna”, a four-man saxophone section is brought into the studio to overdub the rooty-toot sax parts. For “The Inner Light” George overdubs vocals onto the instrumental track that was recorded in Bombay. A remix version of the takes that make up the master tape of “Lady Madonna” is included on “The Beatles Anthology 2” (Disc two, Track 19).
