The Beatles' Story

Written and narrated by John Babcock, Al Wiman and Roger Christian

Liverpool and All the World!

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!
