April 12, 1973 –
The film, That’ll Be The Day, very loosely-based on John Lennon’s early years, featuring David Essex, Ringo Starr, Keith Moon, Billy Fury and Dave Edmunds, premiered in London, on this date.
There are two big Beatles connections that bookend this film. Firstly, right at the start of the film where Jim goes into the cafe a guitar instrumental called Raunchy is playing. This is the song that George Harrison played to John Lennon on the top of a Liverpool corporation bus as his audition to join The Quarrymen. The second is the Buddy Holly & The Crickets song That’ll be the Day was the first song ever recorded by The Quarrymen, featuring Lennon, McCartney and Harrison.
