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…

If you lived outside America during the 1950s, when rock & roll exploded across the world, the opportunities to see your idols in the flesh were few and far between. Even at home, in North America, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis could only be in one place at a time when performing live. So the obvious marriage was made, between rock & roll and the movies. And back then, all the songs you hear spread over this comprehensive 3CD collection could be heard – and seen! – at the cinema.
