In Larry's book, Leo said in conversation, that the Beatles came back stage and were introduced to Jim and Leo. As far as I am aware, no specific date has ever been confirmed. Referring to 'His Untold Story', Jim was in London in June 1963. On June 11th, Jim guested on the Pop Inn radio broadcast, at the BBC Paris Studio London. Ten days earlier, the Beatles set down some live recordings at the same studio under the title 'Live at the BBC'. These were for broadcasting on 18th June. At this time the Beatles were in the middle of a UK tour. On the 10th June they were performing in Bath (around 100 miles West of London). They had no show on 11th of June, and were in liverpool on the 12th. Could they have come to the Paris Studio on 11th to set down another track (From Me to You) and met Jim? Any thoughts?

Leo was emphatic on this point and of course I believe him. Your chronology shows it was possible that the Beatles encountered Reeves on the date you mentioned. After all, they were fond of other American artists -- like Elvis -- and Jim was very big in the UK at the time. They were known to seek out other performers to exchange greetings.
