The Beatles

The Beatles are in the news (yet) again! Appearing in a digital game no less - 'The Beatles: Rock Band' ; and with a new compilation CD of the greatest hits; and lots of chatter about how the doyens of sixties youth freedom became smothered in the corporate rangles of today. Note: Some films have 'Media Not Available' on them - presumably for copyright reasons - we've included two but if you search 'Beatles' you'll find others. Searching 'sixties', 'pop music' or by date will provide other related material. There a good Review of the Sixties to provide general context.
