Ladies and Gentlemen ... The Beatles!

 A Beatle Fan's Bedroom
In the 1960s, many middle-class suburban homes in
America featured separate bedrooms for the teens in
the family. Such household space afforded them
privacy unavailable to previous generations of young
Americans. Many teens turned them with pop culture
objects like photos and posters of sports, music, and
movie stars. Phonographs and record collections
competed for space with schoolbooks, diaries,
trophies, and stuffed animals. Private telephones
were an added luxury.

In the mid-‘60s, at the height of Beatlemania, many
teen bedrooms sported a Beatle motif. This example
of a teen bedroom from suburban New Jersey circa
1964 includes many of the popular Beatlemania
objects found in a Beatle fan's bedroom.



 Ladies and Gentlemen...

THeBEaTlEs!

In 1964 the Beatles conquered America. The pop music quartet from Liverpool,
England—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Star—swept the
nation off its feet and inspired a musical and cultural revolution from coast to coast.
Nothing in their path was immune to their music, humor, and playful innocence.

Theories abound as to why the Beatles impacted us like they did a half-century ago.
Some sociologists believe that with America still mourning the recent assassination of
President John Kennedy, the Beatles took our minds off the national tragedy. That the
band was introduced to the nation via one of its most popular television programs,
The Ed Sullivan Show, also might have had something to do with it, say others.

Many music historians point to the homogenized condition of rock & roll in the early
sixties for the answer to the Beatles' success in America. The era they say, begged for
new sounds, styles, and faces, and the Beatles had all three. Still other experts abide
by the theory that the look and the “British-ness” of the Beatles proved irresistible,
especially to American teens.

Undoubtedly it was all of this, plus the fact that the music the Beatles made—deeply
influenced by American rock & roll and wrapped in a Union Jack—was, in a word, brilliant,
and impossible to ignore. From their arrival in February 1964 to their final concert in
August 1966, Beatlemania ran rampant in America. Though the group continued to
record for a few more years, this was the period of their greatest impact. Song after
song, album after album, film after film, concert after concert—the Beatles took pop
music and everything else affiliated with it to a much higher and more meaningful plane.

  Höfner 500/1 bass guitar
 
The German-made Höfner 500/1 bass
was Paul McCartney's main instrument
on stage and in the studio during The
Beatles' touring years. It possessed a
distinct “hollow” sound, while its
unique shape resembled a violin.
McCartney was so identified with the
instrument that it became known as
“the Beatle bass.”

The simple American-made Ludwig set displayed
here is representative of the kit that Ringo Starr
played in The Beatles. Live and on record, Starr
played different-size versions of this same
set-up. It was a smaller kit than what most other
drummers were playing at the time. The kit used
for The Beatles' American debut consisted of a
20" bass drum, a 14" snare drum, a 12" tom-tom,
and a 14" floor tom.

Probably the Beatle most curious about
sounds and most apt to experiment
with new instruments, George Harrison
settled on the Gretsch Chet Atkins

However, Harrison's guitar collection
eventually included those made by
Epiphone, Rickenbacker, Gibson, and
Fender.

The  F.W.  Woolworth  Company,  more
commonly  known to consumers  in the
1960s  as  simply   Woolworth's   or
Woolworth's five and dime store, was
one of America's largest retail chains. At
the height of Beatlemania, the popular
store, which seemed to be in every town
and city in America,  stocked a wide
array of Beatles merchandise,  which
was often featured in its front windows.

The Beatles Story

MATHEW STREET
AND THE CAVERN

The cavern was the basement cellar of an
old fruit warehouse, which during the
Second World War had been used as an
air raid shelter, then later as an egg
packing station. The warehouse was one
of many on a small, cobbled back street
called Mathew Street, in the middle of
Liverpool's commercial district.




  In 1957, a young businessman called
Alan Sytner had been working in Paris
where he visited a club called Le Caveau
de la Huchette. Impressed by its moody,
bohemian atmosphere, he decided he
would like to open a similar club in England.
Alan returned to Liverpool where he
discovered No.10 Mathew Street. He
opened it as a club on the 16th June, 1957.

  A keen jazz fan, Alan employed the
most popular local jazz bands to perform
and soon the Cavern became one of the
liveliest nightspots in town, frequented
mostly by students and avant-garde
characters. In 1959, the club was bought
by Ray McFall.

  One evening in January 1960, a jazz
festival was organised with star bands such
as Acker Bilk's topping the bill. Some local
bands were also booked, among them
Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. They were
warned that it was a jazz night only, but
after a couple of sedate, pleasant numbers
Rory broke into a real rocker, ‘A Whole Lot
of Shakin’ Foin’ On’. The regular clientele
complained and said they wanted their
beloved jazz back.

However, as the weeks went by Ray McFall
found that the beat groups were bringing
in more custom than the jazz. Ray also
noticed that young office workers were
spending their lunch hours hanging around
music stores such as Hessy’s. This gave
him the idea to put on lunchtime sessions
at the Cavern

Because of the number of groups
appearing in the city, the Cavern had no
difficulty in attracting bands and all the
top names of the Merseybeat era
performed at the club.

 On 21st March 1961, the Beatles appeared
for the first time at the Cavern.

ABBEY ROAD
W
       when   four  young  lads   from
        Liverpool  walked into  Studio
        Two for a commercial test on 6
        June 1962,  they were about to
        write the first chapter of The
        Beatles' Story,   which was to
change the face of recording forever. By
the time they re-appeared on September
4th   they  had  a  new  drummer   and
although their first release, “Love Me
Do” only reached number 17,  it was td
capture  the imagination of the entire
world.                                

  During  their  recording  days,   an
amazing 191 of their songs were recorded
at Abbey Road, and in the process they
changed   pop   recording   techniques
forever. From mono through stereo,  to
four  track   and   eight track,  they
pioneered    changes   in    recording
techniques where the studio effectively
became  a workshop.  Gone were the old
three hour fully prepared sessions and in
their  place  were   open-ended  block
bookings  with  the results  dependent
upon the interface between people  and
technology harnessed to create new and
exciting types of sound. The results of
their achievements will be with us forever
as indeed will the mystique  which has
always surrounded them.               



ST PAULI
THE REEPERBAHN
    The St. Pauli district of Hamburg
  was the red light area, full of strip
    clubs, night clubs, and brothels.
  It was the place many of the sailors
   would visit to get drunk and maybe
  have the odd fight or two, certainly
       not the place to send five
   inexperienced lads from Liverpool.
