Inspirations - Borrowed By The Beatles

Available to order now from www.amazon.co.uk and www.deltamusic.co.uk

Another in Delta’s acclaimed Inspirations series focuses on the original songs by the original artists who inspired the Beatles and, indeed, many of the songs that subsequently became more popular as a result of the Beatles’ versions than they otherwise would have, had they not been covered by the Fab Four. This brand new collection shows the depth of the Beatles’ early obsession with the best music they could lay their hands on, located, as they were, in the perfect place to pick up the rarest and most sought-after records coming in to the port of Liverpool in the late-50s.
