The Beatles Beginnings - Quarrymen One: Skiffle - Country - Western

Uma boa ideia da Rhytm and Blues Records, uma série de CD que conta a história das influências musicais dos Beatles apresentando as versões originais dos seus "heróis" musicais. No momento estão disponíveis 3 Volumes, organizados por estilos musicais, mais dois volumes se perfilam. Os booklets fazem as delícias dos (dis)comuns mortais...está lá tudo, capas, cartazes, fotos...it's only rock'n'roll but we like it...é verdade também existe série similar para os nossos amigos Rolling Stones.
