![]() ![]() They’re really at that level, when it comes to sheer consistent quality. There’s nothing like it in all of music except for Bach, Beethoven, Mozart. They had written, by Paul’s count in “Many Years from Now”, maybe four songs (not the 100 he claimed originally!) - how did they go from this, to that unstoppable juggernaut of 1962? When did the genius make itself known? Was it innate, or did they teach themselves something during that time? Anyway, I can’t fathom the titanic, exceptional, eternal quality of the Beatles. By 1960 they had probably played less than 100 times in public. That makes sense: in 1958(?) when John’s mom died, they took a 15-month hiatus. What I want to know is, what I keep searching to discover is: how good were they, then? The evidence indicates that they were nothing special before the first trip to Hamburg. ![]() That has to be, what, 1960, latest? They’re still playing their Zenith guitars, etc. Look at that picture of Paul singing to Cynthia. ![]()
