PRE:FAB! is the captivating memoir of Colin Hanton, recounting his early years as a musician and his career with John Lennon's Quarry Men. Colin played drums with the band for three years, from 1956 to 1959, during which time both Paul McCartney and George Harrison joined the group. In 1958, Colin played on the very first single that John, Paul, and George ever recorded: their versions of Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day" and a Paul and George composition titled "In Spite of All the Danger." Co-written over a two-year period by Colin Hanton and Colin Hall, custodian for Mendips (John Lennon's childhood home), PRE:FAB! tells the story of these history-in-the-making days. Colin's memories provide insight not only into his early musical adventures with John, but also into the social history of war-time and post-war Liverpool.

PRE:FAB! has also been transformed into a feature-length documentary film, set to release soon!
