A Year In The Life: Beatles '62 narrates the pivotal breakthrough
year for the newly mop-topped Liverpool beat combo via the
recollections of those who knew and worked alongside them in
1962.
An oral history narrated by Liverpool contemporary Roger McGough
A Year In The Life recounts a familiar tale via the less-familiar
recollections of those who were vital to The Beatles development in 1962.
The programme will range from their unsuccessful January
1st audition for Decca records through to the recording
and release of their breakthrough hit 'Love Me Do'.
A Year In the Life will also reflect upon their crowning in the
Merseybeat newspaper as the leading Liverpool group, their
first radio broadcasts at the BBC's Manchester studios, the death
of original bassist Stu Sutcliffe, their return to Hamburg's Star Club,
the ousting of drummer Pete Best.
Contributors include Bill Harry(the editor of Merseybeat), Klaus
Voorman (their close friend from Hamburg & the artist responsible
for Revolver's striking sleeve) Pete Best (their original drummer)
Joe Brown & Mike Berry (who shared bills with the group
shortly before their national fame) Andy White (the studio session
drummer who played on 'Love Me Do') and publicist Tony Calder
(who promoted their first single).
