The Road To Love Me Do by Spencer Leigh and Mike Jones looks at how the Beatles came to be and how they made that first single, released in October 1962. Looking at the developing music scene in Liverpool, it places the young Beatles in the context of their competition and establishes how they developed alongside each other. With painstaking research and extraordinary patience, Spencer Leigh and Mike Jones have located practice tapes and demonstration records from 1957 to 1962 and show how relevant they are on the road to Love Me Do. Many of them have never been released and the vintage performances are given QR codes so that readers can hear them and make up their own minds.
