Have to say you are totally wrong about the Beatles though the group I played in were invited to Apple Records to make a demo disc of our own material sadly we did not make it but the Beatles were as song writers were excellent, as performers sadly we missed the best of them that was reserved for the Hamburg days, as we were told when we performed at the Star and Top Ten Club, they tore those clubs apart.
