DESCRIPTION: Peter Beckett was born in the Aigburth section of Liverpool England. In the early sixties, he began taking an interest in music; listening to his older brother's records, and "air" guitaring with a tennis racket to the radio. He was also greatly influenced by listening to Radio London and Radio Luxemburg. Like most teens in the 60's, Peter was greatly influenced by The Beatles. He would frequent some of their lunchtime sets at the famous Cavern Club. Because he was under legal age, his older brother would smuggle him into the club. He was impressed with what he heard and saw, and decided that this was what he wanted to do with his life. He later moved to London and spent almost ten years there during the "Swinging London" days.

*THE THOUGHTS*
In 1966, Peter joined a band called The Thoughts, who had originally recorded as the backing vocals for Tiffany(Tiffany's Thoughts). They switched to Planet Records and made their debut as 'The Thoughts' with "All Night Stand". A comparatively risque single for the times, the A-side was a Ray Davies composition, produced by Shel Talmy. Along with Alan Hornby on bass, Phil Boardman on lead guitar, Dave Croft on drums, and Peter himself on guitar and vocals, they released 'All Night Stand' on September 30, 1966. Two different versions were released of this single, a slower version in the UK, and a more upbeat version in the US. Requested by Shel Talmy, owner of Planet Records, Ray wrote this song for a movie based on a book by Thom Keyes, also called 'All Night Stand', for 20th Century Fox. The book concerned the trials and tribulations of a young Beat band, loosely modeled on the rise of the Beatles. However, the movie was never made.

Although the single by The Thoughts received great reviews from the critics, it just barely made the charts. The B-Side, 'Memory Of Your Love', was equally as good and written by Peter and Phil Boardman. This single was recorded on the Planet label and distributed by Phillips
Records Ltd. Innovative in being an independent record label in the 60's, Planet lasted only a year but produced 22 singles and two albums by such bands as The Kinks, The Who, The Creation, The Easy Beats, to name a few.
