VA - The Songs That Got Them Started (2CD, 2018)

The “them” in question is the world’s most influential rock band… The Beatles! In time, that legendary quartet would also give us rock’s best-known songwriting partnership… Lennon & McCartney. But, when they started out, the teenagers were not confident enough to showcase their own original material. So, in smoky clubs and dingy basements, in Liverpool and Hamburg, the rafters echoed to these classic songs, all pounded out by a group of young lads who went on to change the world…
