RnR001 - Four Lads From Liverpool

King & Country

In Stock!

In the cold, wet winter month of February 1963 I was 14 years old and delivering newspapers early each morning before I went to school.
In among the newspapers would occasionally be one of the weekly comics or magazines that might appeal to the younger sons or daughters of the people getting their daily newspaper delivered.
Being always inquisitive I would flick through the pages of these comics or 'mags' to see if anything interested me.
On this particular occasion I came across a 'wall poster' insert featuring a group of four young guys from Liverpool called 'The Beatles'. I remembered I had heard their first record 'Love Me Do' a few months before... Not a great record, I thought, but not bad for a first attempt.
A couple of weeks later, The Beatles released their second .45 record "Please, Please Me" and like millions of other British kids I was bowled over and it went straight to #1. From that day until today I am still a Beatles fan and will be until my dying day!
Throughout my teenage years The Beatles were the sound track of one of the most exciting decades in British history.
The Beatles changed everything... how we looked, how we spoke, what we liked, who we listened to and, importantly, when to seize opportunities when and if they ever happened.
This unique little set, inspired by the Sgt. Pepper album cover, is myself and K&C's tribute to these four lads from relatively modest, working class backgrounds in Liverpool who rose to the highest heights of fame and fortune... and changed the world!
