░ ░
The Beatles recorded together for a little over seven years. Between
October 1962 and May 1970, they released thirteen albums and a number
of tracks issued on standalone singles. The catalogue created in that
short period has sold more than that of any other group in history and
its commercial success continues - the world's best selling album
during the first decade of the 21st century was a collection of The
Beatles' chart-topping singles called 1. But the group's significance
stems not just from huge sales figures. Their music has inspired
generation upon generation of musicians, songwriters and producers. As
Mark Ronson put it: 'Everything we take for granted - they absolutely
invented it.' Tom Petty was a teenager during the years The Beatles'
records appeared in quick succession: 'They were just out in front.
There was The Beatles ...and then there was everyone else. And
everyone else could be great, but The Beatles were leading the way and
that's just irrefutably true.'The Beatles' story began in Liverpool in
March 1957, when John Lennon (born 9 October 1940) formed a group
named The Quarry Men. His life was changed by the excitement of rock
'n' roll music - heralded by Bill Haley and His Comets, but taken to
another level when Elvis Presley stormed the charts during 1956. The
next year saw the arrival in the UK of hits by Little Richard, Buddy
Holly and The Crickets, the Everly Brothers and, in movie theatres,
the exciting rock film The Girl Can't Help It!, featuring Eddie
Cochran singing 'Twenty Flight Rock'. Introduced to John on 6 July
1957 at a church fete in Woolton, Liverpool, Paul McCartney (born 18
June 1942) sang Eddie's song word perfect. Impressed, John invited the
fifteen-year old to join his group. In February 1958, Paul's younger
school pal George Harrison (born 25 February 1943) won his place in
The Quarry Men when he impressed the others with his guitar skills,
especially on the current hit instrumental 'Raunchy' by Bill Justis.
With a constant nucleus of John, Paul and George, the group underwent
a series of lineup changes and names. Having gained a dependable
drummer - Pete Best - in August 1960, The Beatles made their first
visit to West Germany to perform in the clubs of Hamburg. Playing long
sets through the night, they spent hundreds of hours onstage during
five visits to the city. Back home in Liverpool, their regular
stomping ground was The Cavern Club, where they played nearly 300
times. The experience gained in Hamburg and at The Cavern helped to
make The Beatles the most proficient and popular group on
Merseyside.At this time, a group from Liverpool had the odds stacked
against them when trying to gain a foothold in a record business
focused on London. In early 1962, they had acquired an ambitious and
rather refined manager, record shop boss Brian Epstein. He faced
regular rejection from music companies until George Martin signed the
group to EMI's Parlophone label. By fate, The Beatles had found both
the ideal manager and perfect producer. The last piece of the picture
slotted into place just three weeks before recording their first
single on 4 September 1962. Ringo Starr (born 7 July 1940) was asked
to take over as drummer. He had been playing with Rory Storm & The
Hurricanes - another Liverpool group who played long stints in the
clubs of Hamburg. Ringo's personality, sense of humour and rock solid,
inventive drumming proved to be just right for The Beatles. Their
first Parlophone single was released on 5 October 1962. Both sides of
the disc were original compositions - a remarkable statement of intent
from a group making their first steps in the music business. In fact,
George Martin had urged them to record Mitch Murray's 'How Do You Do
It?', which he felt was a sure-fire hit. They had reluctantly agreed,
but were able to persuade George to shelve the recording in favour of
their own songs 'Love Me Do' and 'P.S. I Love You'. Just one example
of how The Beatles' story might have been very different with a less
open-minded record producer. George Martin's faith in The Beatles, and
in John and Paul as songwriters, was soon vindicated by the release of
'Please Please Me' in January 1963. The single reached the top of all
but one of the UK charts.It was followed by the number one 'From Me To
You' and their first album Please Please Me, which topped the chart
for 30 weeks until their next LP replaced it at number one. The debut
album featured eight Lennon/McCartney compositions and six cover
versions of recent American Rhythm and Blues records. The selection, a
result of The Beatles' constant search for the unusual, showed their
impeccable taste. Compared to the sophisticated arrangement of an R&B
original like 'Twist And Shout', their versions were stripped down
reinventions for a four-piece beat group. George Martin has confirmed
that 'it was primarily the American Rhythm and Blues sound that was
their inspiration. It's probably what the so-called Beatles sound was,
because all the black music was a tremendous influence on them.'
However, that source was unknown to the majority of their British
fans. The super confident second album With The Beatles was issued in
November 1963 when the single 'She Loves You' was at number one. Once
more, it featured eight original compositions - including 'All My
Loving' and George Harrison's first recorded song 'Don't Bother Me' -
and six cover versions. A week later, 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' was
released and also reached number one. The group had become the biggest
musical phenomenon in British show business - ever. Among the key
factors that led to this success were the chemistry between the four
personalities in the group, their immense charm and a daring image -
nobody had worn their hair that long. Their interviews were funny and
articulate, they had a charismatic presence when performing, and girls
screamed and swooned over them. The term 'Beatlemania' was coined by
the press to describe the hysteria aroused by the group but, as an
appearance on The Royal Variety Show demonstrated, their popularity
stretched way beyond the teenage market.What The Beatles did next was
extraordinary for a British act. In February 1964, they arrived in the
USA to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show. They performed to 73 million
viewers, the biggest television audience to date, and with 'I Want To
Hold Your Hand' at the top of the charts, America was suddenly held
spellbound by The Beatles. As their success spread across the world,
almost everything the group did from then on was unprecedented. In
addition to unparalleled success on record - they held all top five
positions in the American chart in the first week of April - their
first movie A Hard Day's Night was a box office hit and acclaimed for
its wit, invention and unbeatable self-composed songs. Premiered in
July 1964, it was perfectly timed to capitalise on their international
breakthrough. They rounded off the year with Beatles For Sale and the
massive hit single 'I Feel Fine'. In 1965, they starred in the film
Help!. Like their first movie, it was directed by Richard Lester and
featured a brilliant batch of songs on its accompanying album. Tucked
away towards the end of the LP was a performance by Paul McCartney of
his composition 'Yesterday'. Not even released as a single in the UK,
it was a number one in America. It quickly became - and remains - the
most covered song of all time.'Yesterday' is an example of how The
Beatles and their producer did not compromise; whatever best served
the song was always pursued. In the case of 'Yesterday', the bold
choice was a classical arrangement for string quartet. For the next
album Rubber Soul, more studio time was made available to try out
unusual instrumentation and adventurous recording techniques. The
words of the songs were more mature and the vocal blend, heard on
tracks such as 'Nowhere Man' and 'Michelle', is one of the album's
most distinctive qualities. The Beatles' sound is, of course,
distinguished by the character of their voices. Few groups were
blessed with two powerful lead singers as versatile as John Lennon and
Paul McCartney. Furthermore, George Harrison not only contributed at
least one lead vocal to every album, his voice was integral to the
intricate harmony vocals on many Beatles tracks. Ringo Starr usually
sang a solo on albums, making such Lennon/McCartney songs as 'Yellow
Submarine' and 'With A Little Help From My Friends' unimaginable
without his voice.Released on the same day as Rubber Soul, 5 December
1965, 'We Can Work It Out'/'Day Tripper' was the first of The Beatles'
double A-Sides. They ended another frantically busy year with their
final British tour. There was a deadline to complete their next album,
because concerts had been scheduled for the summer of 1966 all over
the world. But this did not affect their approach to recording at all.
The Revolver sessions saw the group reach a new peak of creativity in
performance, songwriting and innovative studio techniques. In addition
to the songwriting mastery displayed by John and Paul, the LP
contained the biggest contribution to date from George with three
songs. His caustic 'Taxman' was given the status of the album's
opening track. 'Eleanor Rigby' is now regarded as a fully realised
masterpiece, but when released in August 1966 on Revolver and as a
single coupled with 'Yellow Submarine', its solemn subject matter and
stark arrangement were radically different. A year before, in August
1965, their appearance in front of 55,600 fans at Shea Stadium in New
York had broken the record for concert attendance and box office
revenue. But live performance had become an unsatisfying charade
...and dangerous too. Who cares how lucrative it was? That had to
stop. The Beatles' final concert for a paying audience took place at
Candlestick Park, San Francisco on 29 August 1966.At the end of 1966,
The Beatles started work on 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. Its long
evolution showed the musical imagination and technical experimentation
heard on Revolver would be continued. To stop the long wait for new
material, 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and 'Penny Lane' were released
in February 1967. Although songs were always credited to Lennon and
McCartney, it soon became clear that whoever sang the lead vocal was
usually the main composer. The double A-sided single shows how their
different stylistic approaches established a perfect counterbalance.
Having set themselves a task of writing about their Liverpool
childhoods, John's song is dreamy and steeped in melancholy, while
Paul's is uplifting and brimming with brilliantly observed vignettes.
Many were shocked when the unconventional promotional films for both
songs were broadcast. Even their moustaches and John's spectacles were
considered to be evidence of how weird The Beatles had become. The
square world worried. Everyone else listened over and over until they
'got it'. Released on 1 June 1967, the immediate artistic and
commercial success of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band vindicated
the new approach taken by The Beatles. It was the album that provided
the soundtrack to the so-called 'summer of love', but its appeal is
ageless. The Beatles performed their next single 'All You Need Is
Love' for the first time on the TV programme Our World - broadcast
live to an audience of 350 million around the globe. Their place at
the top of contemporary pop music was indisputable. Sadly, soon
afterwards, The Beatles were shaken by the sudden death of their
manager Brian Epstein in August 1967. They rallied to write and direct
Magical Mystery Tour - a film shown on television in the UK at
Christmas. Some of the millions who saw it, did not like it. As Paul
McCartney remembered: 'They were looking for the plum-pudding special.
That's what they were expecting, and they very much didn't get it! We
were giving it to the young kids. Why shouldn't they see something far
out?' The music was as successful as ever. The six new songs in the
film and the number one 'Hello, Goodbye' completed a momentous year of
recording. Three more tracks from 1967 remained unreleased until they
were heard in the movie Yellow Submarine premiered in 1968. The film's
imaginative animation evoked the 'psychedelic' spirit of Sgt. Pepper
to reveal the triumph of Love over Evil.Nowadays, following a year as
busy as The Beatles had in 1967, an artist would take an extended
break. In fact, the group did allow themselves a little time off. The
first music of 1968 came in March on their seventeenth single 'Lady
Madonna'. Soon after it was recorded, The Beatles flew to Rishikesh,
India for several weeks of meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. At
this remote and peaceful location, they enjoyed a prolific period of
songwriting. As George Harrison explained: 'When we came back, it
became apparent that there were more songs than would make up a single
album.' Recorded in five months, the double LP The Beatles was soon
known as 'The White Album' because of its plain white cover. 'Hey
Jude' and 'Revolution' were the first songs to be heard from the
sessions when they were released as a single on 30 August 1968 - the
first Beatles record to be pressed with the Apple label. Never
interested in repeating themselves, The Beatles took a different
approach in the studio in 1968. Ringo Starr remembered: 'On "The White
Album" we ended up being a band again and that's what I always love. I
love being in a band.' Discussing his songwriting, John Lennon
reflected: 'It was a complete reversal from Sgt. Pepper. My songs on
the double album were fairly simple and basic.' It is still
astonishing to hear The Beatles moving through every style of popular
music imaginable, including a pastiche of a Hollywood musical number
('Honey Pie'), an intense blues ('Yer Blues') and heavy rock ('Helter
Skelter'). As with Sgt. Pepper, no singles were released from 'The
White Album' in the UK and USA during the 1960s. But it is full of
tracks that could have been huge hits, such as 'Back In The USSR',
'Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da' and 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps'.In January
1969, while 'The White Album' was still at number one, The Beatles
assembled to write and rehearse brand new songs for a televised live
concert. The plan changed so that, in the end, their work was
documented in a movie released over a year later. Its final scene
showed The Beatles performing on the roof of their Apple office
building in Savile Row, London with most of the audience gathered in
the street below. 'Get Back', a number one single from the sessions at
Apple, was swiftly followed by 'The Ballad Of John And Yoko' - a
chronicle of John's marriage to Yoko Ono and their honeymoon/'Bed-In'
for peace in Amsterdam. Recorded mostly during the summer of 1969, the
last album The Beatles made together was named after the street where
EMI's studios are located. It was a fitting tribute to the place where
the majority of their songs had been recorded. The Beatles'
collaboration with producer George Martin and the engineers at Abbey
Road had challenged the way that popular music was created. On many
occasions this team rewrote the rule book and set a new standard to
which their contemporaries had to aspire. In contrast to the January
recordings at Apple, which were 'as live' with no overdubs, their
return to Abbey Road studios with George Martin resulted in carefully
crafted tracks with ambitious musical arrangements. The album's varied
highlights include 'Come Together' and two songs that showed George
Harrison's songwriting had hit a peak - 'Something' and 'Here Comes
The Sun'. However, the character of Abbey Road is dominated by the
sophisticated medley the group called 'The Long One'. It brought the
album, and The Beatles' recording career, to an impressive conclusion.
What a farewell. Measured in terms of its enormous popularity and
musical ingenuity, Abbey Road now challenges the status of Sgt. Pepper
Lonely Hearts Club Band as The Beatles' greatest achievement. When the
earlier set of recordings from 1969 was finally released as Let It Be
in May 1970, news had already broken that the group had split up. The
album's title track and 'The Long And Winding Road' took the total of
American number ones by The Beatles to twenty in six years - a feat
unequalled by any other artist.When The Beatles began making records,
no one anticipated that they would be listened to far into the future.
Pop music was regarded as disposable. But the timeless appeal of The
Beatles' catalogue ensured it was built to last and highly valued. In
1979, the distinguished conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein
wrote: 'Three bars of "A Day In The Life" still sustain me, rejuvenate
me, inflame my senses and sensibilities.' There is also another
dimension to the seductive power of The Beatles' music. Filled with
the spirit of the era in which it was born, it is joyous and generous.
'All You Need Is Love'. 'With our love - we could save the world.'
'The love you take is equal to the love you make.' Tom Petty felt it:
'We grew up with The Beatles and grew up trusting them. They could
have chosen to do anything and they chose to do good, which is a great
example for the rest of us.'
