STUART 'STU' SUTCLIFFE
(June 23, 1940 – April 10, 1962)

Talented Artist and original Bass player of The Beatles. John Lennon's very close friend and art school companion to whom he references in the song "In My Life".

Yeah! Yeah ! Yeah! A truly unique way to express your love for the earliest Beatles iteration - JOHN LENNON, PAUl McCARTNEY, GEORGE HARRISON, PETE BEST and STU SUTCLIFFE.

Featuring two colorized versions of the famed Astrid Kirchherr Hamburg photos, the center photo image shows the handsome Stu as photographed by the love of his life, Astrid. The ethereal design symbolizes the two halves of Stuart, one as part of the Beatles and the other after he leaves to pursue his art career. The left side of the mug also portrays the very early Beatles drum logo as well as a very rare German Kaiserkeller show poster where the Beatles were the opening act for Rory Storm and the Hurricanes with Ringo Starr as their drummer. The right side of the mug features an image of one of Stu's paintings along with his very rare signature. A second equally as rare, Kaiserkeller poster is ghosted into Stu's abstract artwork. And lastly, at the very bottom of the mug, is a 3rd colorized photo, taken in Hamburg (photographer unknown) capturing what may be one of the earliest performances upon the Beatles arrival.

A must HAVE for ANY Beatles fan.
