John, Paul, George and Ringo (and Andy) record their first single, and love them the world did.

The band’s second single was another smash hit in the UK and became the title track for their first album.

Elvis Presley and The Everly Brothers wrapped into the ultimate boy band.

The Fab Four’s first number one single, the harmonies and melody on this are absolutely killer.

Primal scream therapy and a miscarriage are the sources for John and Yoko’s second album of sound.

Maybe not John’s most memorable melody, but his most enduring sentiment? Yes.

John and Yoko didn’t get out of bed to record it, and you don’t need to get out of bed to buy it.

The album that proves one man’s “Junk” is another man’s treasure.

George had developed as a songwriter, but even Abbey Road didn’t prepare you for the creative outpouring of this triple-elpee set.

Stop war, stop doing heroin and stop fooling yourself sum up John’s first three singles, with this being the best of them.
