፨ BEATLES, Love Me Do


"Four lads who shook the world", taken from a sign outside the Matthew Street Cavern, Liverpool. 'Love Me Do' is their very first single released in Britain on 05 Oct 1962 on Parlophone label. In 1964 Beatlemania swept the whole of UK and spread like wild fire across U.S cities a year later in 1965.

፨ BEATLES, You Gotta Love The Beatles

A tribute to the Beatles during the Beatle Week 2008 together with images and places of Liverpool, the birth place of the Fab Four. Song writing and images by Alan Millen & Recording by Beatlemaniacs.

That's it, this concluded the Fab Four's final live appearance captured on camera in the movie - 'Let It Be' and that would be also the Beatles final release.

፨ BEATLES, Let It Be

Watched the movie "Let It Be" a few times in Penang and the one time in Selangor was my most memorable experience which was in 'State' Theatre, New Town Petaling Jaya in early 70s. The crowd in the cinema were lovely and all were so sporting and groovy to sing-along with each song in the movie. Oh what a feeling! Made my hairs stand on end with goose bumps all over, it was awesome. What a coincidence those who went to this movie with me has got their first name starting with 'R', Richard , Rickson and Ronnie, this song is for you. "There will be no sorrow, let it beeeeeeeeeee..."

፨ BAY CITY ROLLERS , Saturday Night

A Scottish bubblegum boy band from the 1970s with their distinctive tartan outfits. Started of as 'The Saxons' in 1967 and later changed to Bay City Rollers, who dominated the UK charts and the Rollers reached #1 in the US Billboard Hot 100 with 'Saturday Night' in 1976. They enjoyed a relatively short period of 'Rollermania' and their popularity in US could not sustain for more than two years. The Rollers faced deep trouble with rolling financial disputes and personal legal problems and got themselves rolled over and in 1981 the group was dissolved.
