Deconstructing the Birth of the Beatles

SYNOPSIS

In the late 50s, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Richard Starkey were just four Liverpool teenagers who wanted to play music. With no formal training or ability to read or write music, they imitated their American pop heroes. Within a few years, the four would change music history -- and the world -- forever. Freiman traces the birth of the Beatles from their days as the Quarrymen to their first visit to EMI Studios and the recording of "Love Me Do."
