GEAR CONTINUITY ERROR…
August 14th 1963 – Odeon Cinema, Llandudno. The Beatles had nipped off to Manchester for a TV appearance, in the middle of a six-night residency at the Odeon Cinema. When they got back, their guitars had been left behind, so they borrowed guitars from THE DAKOTAS to do the show.
George nabbed a Stratocaster, John borrowed a Gibson 335, Paul played a semi-hollow Epiphone bass, with the strings upside-down !!!
