Item Description
The Birth of the Beatles by Sam Leach
(paperback book with lots of early photos)
Donated by Barry Lee
When history takes a critical look back on the formative years of The Beatles, it will discover Sam Leach at the very epicenter of the story. This was the man, the savvy promoter who took The Beatles from the smaller Liverpool clubs and first booked them into the larger venues like the Tower Ballroom where their unique style of rock 'n roll could be heard by a greater number of locals.
Sam's promotions (like his "Operation Big Beat" concert series of 1961-62) are the stuff of legend! His wonderful style of storytelling takes you back to those halcyon days when The Beatles were honing their playing skills, building their fan base and crafting the persona that would blast them to international fame just two short years later. But most revealing are Sam's stories of the intense rivalries between the local promoters...conflicts which seemed to escalate with the unexpected appearance of Brian Epstein.
Sam Leach places readers in a Liverpudlian Time Machine, transporting them back to the heart-pounding, adrenalin-pumping early Beatle days when pure rock 'n roll was all they played! "The Birth of the Beatles" is an amazing document filled with story after amazing story...written in the words of an underappreciated, but pivotal character in the evolution of the world's greatest band. So grow those sideboards, grease back your hair, slip into a pair of black leather pants and sit down for one tremendous read!
