Star Profile- The Beatles

The transformation of the Beatles

There's no denying that the Beatles changed the music industry profoundly. From the way album covers appeared, to writing their own songs, to innovative recording techniques, the Beatles led the way to change what rock bands could do.

But The Beatles were not just a band "who made it very, very big" as John Lennon said. The Beatles became an international phenomenon.


IT’S JULY 1, 1963 AND at London’s Abbey Road Studios a song is recorded that will change the world, the lit fuse of the most extraordinary pop culture explosion of the 20th Century. “We found girls hiding in the ceiling at Abbey Road,” reveals Paul McCartney.


Every corner of the planet had discovered The Beatles by 1966, but it was the year when we would all discover who they were becoming.Off the road and out of the studio for the first time in ages, the weary quartet settle into their own lives in and around London, sopping up avant-garde culture and experimenting with mind-altering drugs.


In 1970 Paul McCartney announced to the world that the Beatles were essentially over. To promote his first solo album, McCartney, Paul issued a four-page interview with himself. The band, McCartney wrote, was divided over "personal differences, business differences, musical differences".
