All You Need Is Love Volume 13: Mighty Good

In this episode we turn our attention to the Beatles, possibly the most famous popular music group of all time. The story of the Beatles begins in Liverpool and to the world via Hamburg. "They were very scruffy" recounts Allan Williams, the Beatles' first manager, as he describes the Beatles' early escapades in Hamburg and Liverpool. Soon Brian Epstein appeared on the scene, although he didn't like the sound the Beatles made. Nor did any record producer, and even George Martin now admits that he never believed they would make worldwide hit song writers. There was a cost, of course, which eventually had to paid for this extraordinary euphoria. But, at the time, no-one seemed to care. All the Beatles are interviewed along with key people such as George Martin, Derek Taylor and Brian Epstein. Many artists who were also influenced by the Beatles such as the Beach Boys, Roger McGuinn and Donovan are also interviewed.
