floatupstream: Paul’s letter to Peter Eckhorn, owner of the Top Ten Club in Hamburg (October 1961) / scanned from 16 Magazine (January 1965)Dear Peter,I said, early this year, that I would write to you, and tell you when we can come back to Hamburg. We can come after January—after Christmas. We read in the English music papers that Gene Vincent is staying in Hamburg for a month. (pasted newspaper clipping)—In the Top Ten?John + I saw Rikki in Paris; he was hiding from the Army, or Navy.How is Tony? We have “My Bonnie” here (Stuart sent us the record) and we play it to the teenagers in Liverpool—and they like it.Which group will play with Gene Vincent? In England he has “Sounds Inc.”George has a new guitar—a Gretsch, and I have a new amplifier for my bass guitar—it is a big as me. If you want to phone us, my number is GARSTON 6922, or if you write, you know Peter’s address, and mine. I think I will telephone you in about a month’s time, and we can talk about us playing in the Top Ten again. Cheerio,Paul McCartney.(The Beatles.) -- source link
