About this listen

By December 1962 John, Paul, George and Ringo had completed their apprenticeship. All the hard work they had put in slogging around the night spots of Liverpool and Hamburg had started to pay off.

The year had begun with an audition for Decca and a single released in the UK from Polydor. National radio for the BBC soon followed. While by the end of the year they had a regional TV broadcast under their belt. Plus. Love Me Do, their first official UK single release reached number 17 in the charts.

In this weeks episode we take a deep dive into 1962. We look at what The Beatles did that year and why it marks the end of the first phase of their career. We also look at what still exists among collectors.
