When Sgt. Peppers was released in 1967, the album started with the magical words "it was 20 year ago today". Well now we are 50 years later and the Beatles are still going strong on the radio, television, and every now and then even in the charts. So welcome to "It was 50 years ago today" where we will publish every day a news item about what happened that day in Beatles History...only 50 years later!

The Beatles Play Live at the Granada Cinema in Mansfield
The Beatles had left the Helen Shapiro tour to concentrate on the recording of Please Please Me and to honour some of the standalone concerts that they had arranged, but on 23 February 1963 they rejoined the tour.
On this day they went into Helen Shapiro's dressing room because it had a television and the ABC network was transmitting their appearance on Thank Your Lucky Stars.
Appearing at the Granada Cinema in Mansfield were:
- Helen Shapiro
- Danny Williams
- Kenny Lynch
- Kestrels
- The Glamorous Honeys
- Red Price Band
