The Rise of the Beatles: From Liverpool to the World Stage
In the early 1960 s, four young men met in Liverpool, England, and their fates were intertwined. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were the four geniuses who formed the Beatles who would later shock the world. At first, they performed in local taverns and gradually gained popularity. With the growth of experience and the advancement of technology, they soon attracted a large following and quickly became popular throughout the country.
By 1964, "Beatle mania" was sweeping the United States and the entire Western world. Thousands of young people flocked to the streets just to catch a glimpse of them.

Even half a century later, these two albums are still the greatest rock masterpieces of many critics.
