From the Paper:

"No one knew that what started out as a shabby little tavern band created by John Lennon in 1957, would lead to a world changing, record shattering, generation captivating phenomena known today as The Beatles. Culturally I have never experienced anything like The Beatles. By the time I was seven, I was sitting listening to Beatles albums on my mom's old record player, and this was several years after The Beatles had split up. Their music defined a generation and influenced every one that followed."
