Their first hit disc "Love Me Do" was quickly followed by "Please Please Me", which won them a Silver Disc, sales exceeding 250,000 copies. Leader John Lennon says, "When we were awarded that Silver Disc we just couldn't believe it. It was the greatest thing that ever happened to us." This beaty vocal-instrumental group is now one of the most popular in the country and their fame is rapidly spreading overseas. Its other members are George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. ***First impression of the first edition - a tribute to the varied pop and rock stars making a name for themselves in 1963 - with a very early reference to The Beatles. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
