Great rare info from John from Liverpool. Of all Beatle books I have, not one mentions WHERE Massey & Coggins was, and even PM in interviews never went into that kind of detail - - considered ephemera, but fascinating as an alternative future for PM. Books do suggest either Lennon or Harrison or both sprung him over the wall with an ultimatum for a lunchtime Cavern gig. But Neil Aspinall said that when PM showed up for the gig, he heard JL say to PM words to the effect of, "Right, you're quitting your fking job!" So JL cannot have gone to Massey & Coggins to spring him over the wall. It's hard to distinguish the apocryphal from what is historically true.
