LIVERPOOL, A POOR BUT PROUD BRITISH SEAPORT WHICH TOOK MORE PRIDE IN HER HISTORY THAN HOPE FOR HER FUTURE HAS LIFTED HER HEAD. INSTEAD OF THE SOMBRE RATTLE OF POVERTY ECHOING FAINTLY FROM HER OLD COBBLE-STONED STREETS, SOUNDS WHICH MIXED WITH THE FADING SHIPS HORNS, AND PULSATING ORGAN-LIKE POLICE SIRENS, THERE'S NOW A SOUND OF HOPE. IT STARTED LESS THAN A DECADE AGO IN THE CELLARS OF LIVERPOOL'S BEAT GENERATION DIVES. IT WAS THE SOUND OF A NEW MUSIC. AND IT LIFTED THE SPIRITS AND HOPE OF A WHOLE CITY WHILE ENTERTAINING THE WORLD. THE BEATLES, OF COURSE, ARE THE BEST KNOWN OF THE LIVERPOOL MUSICAL GROUPS. AND NONE OF THE BEATLES GET TO SPEND AS MUCH TIME IN THEIR LIVERPOOL HOMES AS THEY WOULD WISH, BUT WHEREVER THE BEATLES ARE, LIVERPOOL IS WITH THEM IN SPIRIT. AND IT WORKS THE OTHER WAY AROUND TOO.
THIS IS THE BIOGRAPHY OF BEATLEMANIA!
