Love Me Do!: The Beatles' Progress1964

It is the classic behind-the-scenes story of The Beatles first British tour. The year is 1963. 'Love Me Do' is The Beatles first hit single, closely followed by 'Please Please Me,' which reached No. 1. John, Paul, George, and Ringo celebrate their newfound success with a hectic six-week tour, briefly interrupted by a historic live appearance at the Royal Variety Performance at the London Palladium. It is the beginning of Beatlemania, and American writer Michael Braun is there as the drama unfolds. Eavesdropping on The Beatles' private conversations. Recording every last joke. And running with them to safety from hordes of screaming fans. A year later, The Beatles are the world's biggest pop group. Distant, untouchable, and fabulously rich. Love Me Do! is there to record for posterity what it and they were really like in those extraordinary early days. Now includes a 16 page photo insert.
