Magical Mystery Store

Name James M C Hughes Comment:Hi, A friend and I opened the Magical Mystery Store in 1977 at 24 North John Street, Liverpool, Merseyside. The store consisted of 2 businesses, one run by myself where we sold Beatles Memorabilia, Books and American Comics. The other business specialised in rare records and was owned by Trevor Hughes (no relation) We closed the M.M.S. at the end of 1980 and it became Cavern Mecca,, Beatles Museum and Information Centre 18 Mathew Street, Liverpool Merseyside. Cavern Mecca opened on the 3rd. Magical Mystery Store closed at the end of December 1980. due to my wife liz's illness .Cavern Mecca opened 3rd. January 1981 . We also organised the first 4 Beatles Conventions from 1981 to 1984 inclusive. Cavern Mecca was the first Beatles Museum to open in Liverpool despite what others may claim. The other Beatles attraction opened in 1985. (February 25, 2017)
