The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years
The band you know. The story you don't.
The Beatles stormed through Europe's music scene in 1963, and, in 1964, they conquered America. Their groundbreaking world tours changed global youth culture forever and, arguably, invented mass entertainment as we know it today. All the while, the group were composing and recording a series of extraordinarily successful singles and albums.

In the ensuing years The Beatles were then free to focus on a series of albums that changed the face of recorded music.

It was often said that for people growing up in some of Britain's post-war industrial cities, the only way up/out was a career in music or boxing! Well these four men chose the former.
