The Beatles: In Pictures

The Beatles: In Pictures Kısa Özet

The best-selling band in history, with sales of over a billion, The Beatles achieved more sales in the US than any other artist. Formed in Liverpool in 1960, The Beatles had their roots in skiffle and 1950s rock `n` roll, but as their career progressed they dabbled in many musical forms. The Beatles` first single, "Love Me Do," was released in 1962, becoming a modest hit. The following year saw the advent of Beatlemania, and they became known as the "Fab Four"; by early 1964, they were international stars, leading the "British Invasion" in the US. This book takes a nostalgic and affectionate look at Britain`s most famous pop group, from their early days in the 1960s to the break-up of the band, with the aid of almost 300 photographs from the extensive archives of Mirrorpix.
