When:

Short story:

The Beatles' bass-player Stu Sutcliffe returns to Hamburg, Germany, Europe, to be with girlfriend Astrid Kircherr.

Full article:

Paul McCartney : I have problems with one of the books that has been written about us, because the guy obviously didn't like me. That's fair enough. But this guy started to make up a whole story of how I was so keen to be the bass player that I really did a number on Stuart Sutcliffe, the original bass player. He made it sound as if I had planned this whole thing to become The Beatles' bass player.

I remember ringing George up shortly after this book came out, and I asked him, "Do you remember me really going hard to chuck Stu out of the group and be a bass player?" And he said, "No, you got lumbered with bass, man. None of us would do it." I said, "Well, that's how I remembered it." Because it's true, we all wanted to be guitar players.
