Pete Best, born Randolph Peter Best in Madras, India on November 24, 1941, joined the Beatles, John, Paul, George, and Stu Sutcliffe, in late 1960. Their previous drummer, Tommy Moore, had left earlier in the year. Pete's mother, Mona Best, ran The Casbah Club, a cellar club in Hayman's Green, where the Beatles had been playing. When Allan Williams got the Beatles booked to play two months in Hamburg, Pete was asked to join the group. Pete was very quiet in Hamburg, he did not partake of the uppers the way everyone else did, and spent alot of his off time out of the company of the others. The girls in Hamburg were wild over him, and would shout at him on the stage in English and German. The other Beatles thought Pete was a pretty good drummer, but then in Hamburg they heard and met Ringo. When the Beatles and Pete returned to Liverpool, Mona acted as the booking agent for what she considered "Pete's band". She got them introduced into the Cavern Club. Pete played on "My Bonnie" and the other tracks recorded with Tony Sheridan for Bert Kaempfert in Germany. In November 1961, Brian Epstein became the Beatles' manager, and in April, 1962, Brian succeeded in getting them an audition with George Martin at Parlophone, which happened on June 6. By this time, both Paul and George were encouraging Brian to help them get rid of Pete, to bring on Ringo permanently, who had been filling in for Pete with the Beatles every now and then. In late July, George Martin commited to recording the Beatles. When George Martin told Brian that he didn't care for Pete, and that they would use another drummer on the sessions, he didn't know the Beatles were already thinking the same thing. Brian told him during a lunch time meeting in his office on August 15. Mersey Beat broke the news on August 23. Pete Best fans were outraged. Petitions signed by hundreds were received at Mersey Beat. Cries of "Pete Best Forever---Ringo, never!" were heard at the Cavern Club. The following Monday, one of the many scuffles outside the Cavern Club resulted in a black eye for George Harrison.

I think Pete Best did do an album, Paul  was kind enough to give him a Million pounds after the athology series, gosh a generous man who some say is the only billionare in Rock and Roll, he is one cagey dude, he says it's more like 800,000 million pounds now back to Pet Best. And I know I said dont use Wiki but here you go he did release some tunes in the 60's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Best and here you go if you are going to use wiki you need a 2nd source here is the tune on youfool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzsmjLjyOBU god it's awful. Knock on your door, it should be called knock off The Beatles because you played drums once in a band called The Beatles Nebula

I had a chance to meet him in Liverpool a few years ago. That's Pete in the middle and Jerry Shirley (Humble Pie) on the right.

SteveStrummerUK I reckon George Best was bettererer. Pete Burns betterer still.
