Media Studies Interlude...Introducing The Beatles!
The Beatles were one of the most popular and successful rock bands ever. Formed in 1960 with members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, they became widely regarded as the foremost and most influential rock band. Rooted in skiffle, beat, and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles using classical music as its base, experimented with several musical styles, ranging from pop ballads and Indian raga to hard rock and psychedelia. In the early 1960s, their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania", but as the group's music matured they came to embody the counterculture of th 60s.
Since the 60s, every band has tried in some way to replicate the popularity of the Beatles.
Between 1962 and 1970, the Beatles released 12 studio albums (13 worldwide), 13 extended plays (EPs) and 22 singles. Their early contract was with Capitol Records but later they secured their own label Apple records. The Beatles' songs were originally released on vinyl with full-length long plays (LPs), shorter EPs and singles. Over the years, the collection has also been released on all the available technology: cassette, 8-track, compact disc (CD), USB flash drive, MP3, FLAC format, and on digital media streaming services. The Beatles' "core catalog", recorded between 1962 and 1970, comprises 213 songs. Additionally, during "Beatle Mania", the group starred and produced 4 films:
Beatles' Films
A Hard Day's Night (1964)
Help! (1965)
The Magical Mystery Tour (1967)
Yellow Submarine (1968)

In the city where I was born
ReplyDeleteLived a man who went to the sea
He told us his life
In the submarine country
So we sailed towards the sun
Until we find a green sea
We live under the waves
In our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow Submarine Yellow Submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow Submarine Yellow Submarine
Our friends are on board
Many people live next door
The band started playing
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow Submarine Yellow Submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow Submarine Yellow Submarine
