2274 - DECONSTRUCTING THE EARLY YEARS - 2 DVD SET

2 DVD SET By Scott Freiman. Join this "Beatleologist" on a lively educational journey from Liverpool to Hamburg to The World Stage.

At first John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Richard Starkey were just four Liverpool teenagers who picked up their instruments and decided to play music. With no formal training or ability to read music, they tried to emulate their American rock heroes. Within a few years, they would change music history (and the world) forever.

This 2-film set traces the band's early years, from a fateful garden party in 1957 to the "Toppermost of the Poppermost" by the end of 1963.
