Beatlemania 2

As the Lads were honing their craft in Germany, first under the name Beatals, then Beatles, things weren’t really looking up for them. Every one of the six music English music labels refused to sign them … until they got to the final one, Decca. In the meantime, their manager was a social outcast with family money named Brian Epstein and he was having a hard time getting results.

In the end it all worked out great as the band’s final line-up solidified with the addition of Ringo Starr as drummer. Join us as we crank up the Time Machine and look back at those precious days when four lads became … The Beatles.
