I dont think so... it was more like april-may '61 timeframe (?). From what I've seen the exact date is unclear.

I don't remember Elvis speaking English so well as to be an example for everyone else to follow.

A Certain G. Harrison Still Owes £20 For a Guitar He Purchased In 1961

According to this news story, in 1961 George Harrison bought a black Gretsch Duo-Jet from merchant seaman Ivan Hayward, which was priced at £90. The 18-year-old Harrison only had £70 and signed an IOU for the balance. Unluckily for Mr. Hayward, a few months after purchasing the guitar, the Beatles scored their first hit with “Love Me Do,” Harrison got caught up in the madness of Beatlemania and he forgot about the debt. Ivan Hayward still has the IOU Harrison signed way back when, though, which these days is probably worth a few quid.–MJS

That's the old a percentage down, the rest when they catch you that George was talking about.

Oasis' songs are too long and what's with the terrible production? They have some of the worst drum sounds I've ever heard on a major release. Plus they were the most boring live act I've ever seen (fortunately I was only there to see the opener, Velvet Crush.)
