Click to go to the BBC Sounds site.

From Then to You, here’s a repeat of a 2012 BBC radio documentary about the Beatles Year of 1962. An oral history narrated by Liverpool contemporary Roger McGough, “A Year In The Life” recounts a familiar tale via the less-familiar recollections of those who were vital to The Beatles development in 1962. Contributors include Bill Harry, Klaus Voormann, Pete Best, Joe Brown and Mike Berry, Andy White and publicist Tony Calder.

There are more episodes in the “Celebrating the Beatles” series to explore at the bottom of the page.

Thanks to Mike Hamilton for alerting us to these programs.
