The author of this book, Charles Roberts, comments:

I was a teenage friend of John [Lennon] and the Quarrymen when I booked them for their first documented appearance. At the time it was just a fun day with my pals, and I never realized how momentous my photos would become. Being the first ever, they are regarded as iconic by Beatle fans everywhere and are of great historic performance.

Excerpt from the back cover:

This is Charles's authentic story of events from the birth of the Quarrymen through to the Beatles. He was there at the start of it all.

This is a unique eye witness account of how it all began, the gigs, practice sessions, parties and times at the Cavern etc. He recognised the group's potential when he booked them to play their first gig, according to John, at Rosebery Street.

Charles took photographs of the event and they are the first ever of John and the Quarrymen performing. This book is a must for any Beatles fan, who would like to experience true stories of the early days.

JPGR&B SUBS ● 18th Dec 2018		Review Given their worldwide fame, tales of the Beatles are 10 a penny, so it's rare for fresh and original insights to be uncovered. But a new book, Just Like Starting Over, does just that, providing readers with a window into the bands beginnings, from a young man who was there to witness it all. Charles Roberts, of Woolton, provides a first hand account of life growing up in Liverpool and his days at the birth of the Quarrymen, right through to the beginnings of the Fab Four. His memories are truly special and his recollections of the sights and sounds of 1950s Liverpool will no doubt bring back memories for many readers who lived through what was arguably the city's most exciting musical era.
