No artist works in a vacuum. Young men of their time, passionate music lovers who in their formative years had access to an unprecedented range of pop music thanks to Brian Epstein's NEMS record shop, Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison listened, borrowed and reshaped quite an array of tracks, processing these borrowings into their own unmistakable sound. Named after their first publishing company, this CD, with accompanying booklet, sheds light on the Beatles' creative process. Listen to these tracks and see how some of the best loved songs in pop music were formed. Featuring The Memphis Group, Marvin Gaye, Fats Waller, Bob Dylan, Nat King Cole, The Greek Three, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, The Two Leslies, Noble Sissle, Jimmie Grier, Rosie And The Originals, Pee Wee Crayton, Johnnie Ray, The Miracles, Charlie Byrd, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Ray Charles, Barrett Strong, Ketty Lester, The Greenbriar Boys, The Chiffons, Fernando Corena, Rob Steinberg, Johann Sebastian, Ludwig van B, Glenn Gould, and William Walton.
