John’s impression of African art for the ceiling of the main dance room at the Casbah Club in West Derby. John had first painted pot-bellied figures with long scrawny legs but Mona Best made him get rid of them. Paul painted a rainbow design above the stage area (visible in this picture) and George joined them to put stars on the ceiling around the coffee counter.

The Casbah Club’s membership card: blue for boys, pink for girls. The conditions state that the management (that is, Mona Best) can refuse permission if the club was deemed full. That must have been a regular occurrence as the basement could only hold 100 people.
John at the Casbah Club. Going with the 25 March 1962 date, following The Savage Young Beatles rather than the 12 February 1961 date suggested by Lewisohn.
