Liz and Jim Hughes. I was never out of their shop, The Magical Mystery Store down in the basement of 24 North John Street - the very same property that was the Cottles city cafe where 'Qualtrough' made the call asking for William Herbert Wallace in 1931.



I got loads of rare Beatles records and books out of there c1977, there wasn't any Beatles merchandise they didn't do at a time when the city council wouldn't put up a statue that John Chambers was petitioning for - there was nothing to show the tourists that kept asking - the Cavern had been demolished just a few years earlier in 1973.

I'm looking forward to the Mecca reunion. My mate Paul has a youtube video of him camcording in there and John Lennon's uncle is in there too.
