CallumsBlog: The Fab Four

The Beatles
Post 4
10/3/15



There isn't much to say about The Beatles that hasn't been said already. The group will forever been known as one of the greatest bands that has ever existed.
The group was made up of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr and the group existed during the 1960's.

The group were huge commercial hits all over the world and to this day the music they created is still regarded as some of the best, I still remember the first time I ever heard the Beatles, I was in the car with my dad and Yellow Submarine came on and immediately I was obsessed! I loved everything about the track from the title to the extremely odd song lyrics and I had that song on repeat for what seemed like hours and hours and when we got home I started digging around the old records in my house to find as many Beatles tracks as possible and so began my love affair with the band.

To this day I still carry the same amount of passion for the Beatles as I had when I first heard them I even have a Yellow Submarine poster framed in my bedroom.

Yellow SubmarineThe real only difference between then and now is my favourite Beatles track is no longer Yellow Submarine, after seeing the Yellow Submarine movie that accompanied the album another track from the soundtrack really stuck with me. "Nowhere Man" saw The Beatles regenerate the life of a so called Nowhere Man so he could change his life for the better and ever since then the song has always been the song of The Beatles that I managed to relate to.

The Beatles popularity to this day still means that the band for marketers are still a cash cow. Beatles merchandise and records are still popular desirable.
When the bands discography was finally made available for purchase on digital download sites such as iTunes in 2010 it saw the band receive a huge spike in sales for the band as people were able to get the entire works of the greatest band who ever lived at the click of a mouse.
