The Beatles - A Brief History
John Lennon, James Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Richard
Starkey (also known as Ringo Starr) were born during the 1940s in
Liverpool, England. During the post war period, Liverpool was a
dingy depressed town and money was scarce. Two decades later, these
four men born into working class obscurity would take the word by
storm in a phenomenon our culture refers to as Beatlemania.
John Lennon met Paul McCartney when they were both performing
in Skiffle Groups, which were homespun bands that played a combination
of folk, rock and jazz. John was in a group called The Quarrymen,
which later became John and the Quarrymen. Paul introduced John
to George Harrison, who was two years younger but showed extraordinary
talent. John, Paul and George, with the addition of John’s
Friend from art college, Stu Sutcliffe and a guitarist named Pete
Best, set out to work in German clubs, where musicians were able
to make a paltry living playing strip clubs and low end establishments.
Ringo was performing in many of the same establishments with the
group Rory Storm and the Hurricanes.
During their time in Germany, Stu Sutcliffe decided to return
to his first love, art, and a new love, a woman he had met in Germany
named Astrid. Stu later died of a brain hemorrhage, which some suspect
was due to his previous involvement in a club fight. The remaining
members, now called “The Silver Beatles” returned to
Liverpool, where John dealt with feelings of failure and a pregnant
girlfriend, whom he reluctantly married.
Their luck changed when a young record store owner, named Brian
Epstein, noticed the Beatles and thought they had something unique.
After convincing the Beatles to clean up their tough image, they
traded leather jackets for matching suits as Brian peddled their
records from label to label with no success. Epstein never gave
up on the Beatles and his business savvy, combined with the Beatles
raw talent finally began to pay off.
The Beatles were born, and around the world their records are still
being played by millions. So while listening to those great Liverpool
lads playing the songs that made them famous, hang a Nostalgic Metal
Sign on the wall to make your Beatles moment complete.
These are just a few of the classic metal signs in this collection. There
are far too many to mention here, so take a look at this Nostalgic
Metal Sign collection and help the Beatles live on. |
