1960's Records

Emerging from Liverpool, England in 1960, The Beatles were a seminal British group that evolved from rock/pop origins into pioneers of musical experimentation. The band solidified its iconic lineup in 1962, featuring John Lennon (vocals, guitar, harmonica, keyboards), Paul McCartney (vocals, bass, guitar, keyboards, percussion), George Harrison (guitar, vocals, sitar), and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals, percussion) after signing a recording contract with EMI.Initially recognized for their Merseybeat style, The Beatles soon ventured into uncharted musical territories. They explored psychedelia and pioneered innovative production techniques that incorporated tape loops and other effects. Over their active years they created a legacy of 12 studio albums.Their profound impact on rock and roll was acknowledged in 1988 when they were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as a group. By 2015 each member had also received individual recognition for their contributions as solo artists within the Hall of Fame.

A month after passing their BBC audition, the Beatles’ first actual broadcast session took place at the Playhouse Theatre in Hulme,
Manchester on March 7th, 1962. 

Producer Peter Pilbeam booked them in for a slot on Teenagers Turn, which was recorded in front of
a live audience and transmitted nationally the following day on BBC’s Light Programme. They returned to the same venue for their
second BBC session on Whit Monday, June 11th; this would be the last to feature their original drummer, Pete Best. A coach full of
fans accompanied them from Liverpool for the occasion. Before their third appearance on Teenagers Turn, the Beatles had made their
debut TV appearance, also in Manchester, for Granada’s People And Places. They had a new single to promote and duly performed
both sides, Love Me Do and P.S. I Love You on the show that was aired on October 26th. The group can also be heard here singing
songs recorded at the Cavern, notably a version of Some Other Guy that was broadcast on Granada TV in 1963. Tracks recorded for
Granada TV and BBC Radio with dates where known listed on the rear. Through careful remastering we have done our very best to
make these tracks sound as good as possible, but the sound quality does reflect contemporary broadcast standards.
