Welcome to “ The Beatles’ Jukebox”. This collection features songs that either were covered in performance by The Beatles, or influenced their song writing, or were personal or collective favourites of the boys. Two of the songs featured here were included in John Lennon’s own portable jukebox.
This collection traces the formative sounds that were influential in the development of the members of the Beatles up to the time that Lennon and McCartney met and began playing together.
