701 The Beatles “A Hard Day’s Night” 1964

“During all the shouting and screaming and boasting of their record-breaking tours in Britain and America, the Beatles were crouching somewhere inside the giant piece of machinery which was transporting them round and round the world. They’d retreated inside it in 1963, forced by all the pressures, and remained there, hermetically sealed, as if on a desert island, from all life and reality” (Hunter Davies, The Beatles, 1996).
