Summary

Author Ivor Davis (The Beatles and Me On Tour) traveled with the Beatles watching them make rock history in 1964. On assignment for the London Daily Express, Ivor enjoyed unrestricted access to the four boys-from their hotel suites to backstage at concert arenas to their private jet. If you are any kind of Beatles fan, this is fascinating!
