If you need something to cheer you up and either love the Fab 4 or don't know about them, this is the PERFECT antidote for all your problems!

First rate in EVERY way!

I have wonderful memories of my grandma taking us (me, my brother and our cousin) when it first came out July 1964.

I honestly believe that without him, they would not have been as popular. Indeed, he was EXTREMELY popular during Beatlemania and even from 1970-1973, I think he was the biggest selling of the Fab 4 after the break-up.

My family and I saw Ringo in concert about three years ago, and I am so glad we did. He looks like he's about 30 years old and was utterly charming.

I CANNOT stand anyone who says he wasn't a great drummer. He was FABULOUS as a drummer and as a rock superstar.

In fact, he's pretty much the star of "A Hard Day's Night" (putting aside that he came up with the title!
