The Dark Side of John Lennon No One Talks About

                
                       

The Beatles's introduction to "Prellies" (Preludin - a successor of Pervitin) was in Hamburg.[11] 

As the group had to play for hours, Sheridan offered them Preludin, saying: "Here's something to keep you awake."[12]

 Astrid Kirchherr also supplied Sutcliffe and the other Beatles with Preludin, which when taken with beer, made them feel euphoric and helped to keep them awake until the early hours of the morning. 

Looking back, Harrison said that the whole group would be "frothing at the mouth" and would sometimes stay awake for days.[13] 

Lennon recalled, "The waiters always had these pills [Preludin], so when they saw the musicians falling over with tiredness or drink, they'd give you the pill.

 You could work almost endlessly until the pill wore off, and then you'd have another."[14] 

McCartney said that he would usually take one, but Lennon would often take four or five
