The Beatles
What can we say about most successful pop group of the 20 century? They changed popular culture and music forever. From their first studio contract in 1962 until 1970, the Beatles lineup consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Paul and Ringo are still alive and active.
Our current auction offers a trip down memory lane that begins with a few early pieces like the 1964 Beatles Fan Club Season’s Greetings, 45 vinyl records complete with covers that allow you to watch them change over time.
What can we take away from their story?
The Beatles weren’t an overnight success, really.
They started out as the Blackjacks then they called themselves the Quarrymen and played wherever they got a chance. Settling on band members was a challenge. They also called themselves Johnny and the Moondogs for a very brief time which failed. Stuart Sutcliffe the original bass guitarist came up with the name Beatals, a play on Buddy Holly’s Crickets which also didn’t last. The band members went on their own ways for a while. They played under The Silver Beats and Silver Beatles before finally settling down with just The Beatles. All this time, a good 7 years, the band kept doing their thing before they tasted big success starting from 1963. They faced challenges but they believed in their music and practiced their craft.
They didn’t give up!
