Description

The best-selling band in history, with sales of over a billion, The Beatles - John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr - have had more number-one albums and sold more singles in the UK than any other act, and achieved more sales in the USA than any other artist. They became one of the most critically acclaimed acts in popular music. 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, including pop ballads and psychedelic rock. In the early days, they honed their skills playing clubs in their hometown and Hamburg, Germany, while manager Brian Epstein polished their act. He brokered a record deal with EMI producer George Martin, who helped the band make the most of their musical potential. SALES POINTS: * A nostalgic and affectionate look at Britain's most famous pop group * Including almost 300 photographs from the extensive Mirrorpix archives * The Beatles remain the best-selling band in history, with over a billion sales 275 colour and b/w photographs
