04 January – 1962 – Beatles Top Mersey Beat Poll Again – Review and Photos

24 January 1962

Mersey Beat was a music publication in Liverpool, England in the early 1960s. It was founded by Bill Harry, who was one of John Lennon’s classmates at Liverpool Art College. The paper carried news about all the local Liverpool bands, and stars who came to town to perform.

The Beatles had a close association with Mersey Beat, which carried many exclusive stories and photos of them. They also published several of Lennon’s early writings, including a history of the band, and occasional comical classified advertisements by him as space filler.
