Message from discussion Raymond Jones
Steve D Carter

Jun 3 1989, 12:38 am

This is as much to test the mechanism for Posting to rmb (to which
I expect to make some useful contributions) as it is about....

RAYMOND JONES

He was the lad, who we are led to believe, was the individual who
asked Brian Epstein for a copy of "My Bonnie", which in turn led
to Mr Epstein visiting The Cavern and discovering The Fabs.

I contend that this is utter bull***t.

It is **inconceivable** that Brian did not know about The Beatles
before that date. Brian was running a very successful record store
that was the closest record store to The Cavern (maybe 100 metres), and
there is NO WAY he could not have heard about the events there.

More objectively convincing is the fact that Brian wrote in, and was a
major distributor for MerseyBeat - a newspaper that was at times
nothing more than a Beatles fanzine.

Finally - how come this guy has never been traced?

I'm posting this because it was mentioned in rmb a few weeks ago
in a posting by 'rwc'? and my mailings to him get bounced - but saki
advises that most people anyway need reminding of this from time to time.

Geeks among us may notice the different styles of email addresses. In the UK version the domain
ran from most significant to least significant, but in the Bitnet (this is even before anyone
really called the network of networks "The Internet") it was the other way round.
