Exclusive: Place where Beatles 'discovered' to be torn down
Most important music deal in history struck 50 years ago in NEMS building

The building in Liverpool where the Beatles signed what has been described as the most important music contract of all time is to be demolished.John, Paul, George and their then drummer Pete Best signed up on January 24, 1962 with Epstein at the headquarters in Liverpool’s Whitechapel of family-owned NEMS.It propelled the four lads from Liverpool into the four that “shook the world” and put the Mersey Sound and the city onto the global stage. In 2008, when the piece of paper was auctioned in London for £240,000, it was described as the ‘most important music contract of all time’.
