Manufacturer description

The Beatles were a phenomenon, from the moment they were introduced by the legendary broadcaster, Bill Grundy in 1962, until their last live performance as a band on the 30th January 1969. 

On the 9th February 1964, they played the Ed Sullivan Show and this is considered the moment that they ‘cracked’ America, becoming the first British band to break into the US music market. The Beatles released several albums in the US and the album artwork carried a different design to the UK albums. 

This new collection of wagons captures the US album covers throughout their history, making a highly collectable series of wagons. The Meet The Beatles US album cover displays the tracks on side A and side B, making it a great gift for any fan of The Beatles.
