The BBC reports ...
The Beatles: Rare images of early Cavern Club gigs found
In the article write-up ... Historian Mark Lewisohn described them as "whippet-thin under-nourished lads" following their tour to Germany.
The band, who were then aged between 18 and 20, had recently returned from performing in Hamburg, where they had been "slogging 500 stage hours in 90 days", he said.
"So slender has this marathon made them, it's as if their heads and bodies are stranger.
"A look emphasised by the unusual clothes - leather trousers and cotton tops. No other photos show them dressed this way."
