Summary

It has been said that the revenue from the Beatles’ record sales delayed the fall of the pound by ten years. Since 1962, the date of their first triumphs, Paul, John, Ringo and George have become one of the defining and operating myths of our century. Hunter Davies’ “The Beatles” is, in a way, the official biography of the quartet. The four boys from Liverpool collaborated by contributing data about their childhood and their first successes in the “Cavern” and in Hamburg, and the author complemented this data with the direct testimony of their relatives, their classmates, their first businessmen, until reconstructing the origins of the exciting sociological phenomenon that was the personality and the music of the Beatles. The origin of the myth and the hallucinating world of economic interests that revolved around the Liverpool quartet is thus elucidated in a book that goes far beyond its merely biographical interest.
