A mysterious projection has been spotted on landmarks around the city.
Last night, residents in the city centre and beyond may have spotted the huge projection of a cassette tape on famous buildings across Liverpool. In images and footage sent to the ECHO, courtesy of Universal Music, you can see the orange and white cassette being beamed onto different landmarks all linked with The Beatles.
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr - also referred to as the Fab Four - changed music and changed the world when they started their band in Liverpool decades ago. Formed following a chance meeting between John and Paul at the Woolton Village Fete, in 1957, they released their first album, Please Please Me, in 1962.

The group went on to have 17 number ones in the UK, as well as dominating the US charts. Since, many Liverpool buildings and areas are tied to their story and their music, Beatles fans from around the world are drawn to the city.
The cassette tape projection could be seen last night, October 25, outside John Lennon's childhood home Mendips, Strawberry Fields, the John Lennon and Beatles mural on Croxteth Avenue and Bridge Street, Penny Lane, the old Sergeant Pepper's Bistro site on Smithdown Place and the Cavern Club, near the John Lennon statue, on Mathew Street.
In the video, courtesy of Universal Music shared with the ECHO, The Beatles hit Come Together plays in the background and more information is teased. The audio appears to be the band discussing music in potentially a recording studio.
Statements heard in the audio include: "I'll tell you what, why don't you just give me a little bit of his original demo, sort of hear how he's playing the piano. We'll come in after this, verse three, could be like the intro again.

"When are we ever going to get to sleep? There's a good question.
"No rest for the wicked. DIN son - do it now. Go on then, back it up a bit. Can I just hear John's then."
The same white and orange tape is also featured on The Beatles official website. You can see it here.
More information surrounding the projectors in the city are set to be announced at 2pm today.
