How Beatle mania started
It was on this day back in 1963 that the Fab Four, The Beatles, release their first album, Please Please Me. The 14-song album spanned hits such as Love Me Do, I Saw Her Standing There and Twist and Shout. And if you want to see where lead guitarist George Harrison first made his mark, you can stay in his Liverpool childhood home, which is on Airbnb. See the home here.
Wishing you a productive day
