The Beatles Piece of the Cavern Stage with LOA
1960s. While original bricks from The Cavern have been circulating since the mid-1980s, remnants from the original wooden stage, to the best of our knowledge, were only offered once. The LOA from Cavern owner Ray McFall's former business partner in Cavern Sound Limited relates: "..the old Cavern Club stage was not big enough to accommodate the increasingly large amounts of amplification equipment that the groups used so he (McFall) had the old stage removed and a new larger one built. ...I was present when the stage was being cut up...and helped staple the cards to the pieces of Cavern stage. Ray decided to give the proceeds to Oxfam...for their cause. Requests...came from all over the country. I purchased some pieces for myself." The piece being offered here is one of those pieces! The card stapled to this 7.5 x 5.25" x .75" black painted wood stage fragment reads: "From The Cavern-Liverpool 'The Birthplace of The Beatles' comes this genuine piece of the Cavern Club stage on which The Beatles performed 292 times during the period 1961 to 1963". Own a piece of Beatles' history!
