December 12, 1962 show at the Embassy cinema in Peterborough, England which featured headliner Frank Ifield, and The Beatles. This unusual combination of acts resulted from a phone call by Brian Epstein to Arthur Howes, then the country's biggest tour promoter, offering the Beatles. Mr. Howes agreed to a one night trial for the Beatles to appear with Frank Ifield, and their appearance was an embarassing flop. The audience had come to see Frank, not "four unknowns" from Liverpool. Better days soon followed, as the next day Love Me Do entered the top twenty. Five days later they set off for Hamburg and the Star-Club, where one of the songs they performed was the Frank Ifield hit, I Remember You.
