     First, The Beatles was wearing leather jacket and playing noisy music in their early days. Important person is manager of The Beatles Brian Epstein. When the man who is a fun of The Beatles went to him store to buy single of The Beatles “my bonnie”, He knew The Beatles. He and his friend visited cavern club, and he got a contract.

    Second, When the early 60’s, The main stream of a form of the band was parted solo singer and back band, and  Professional songwriter wrote songs for the band in many cases. In 1960, The Beatles applied audition that is to play as back band for solo singer who was produced by Larry Bernes is musician in London. After that, Their skills up. In June 1962, They was sounded to apply an audition as George Martin by Perlophone Records. In June 6th, Debut of The Beatles was decided. When George decided debut songs, At first, George had plan that debut song made by professional songwriter. But John Lennon was against this. Ever since they play songs which they made. This style that all member of the band play instrumental and sing  is very new and rationale. 

     Third, Their sound had always surprising us. Their sound producer George Martin becomes a defining feature of their music. The Beatles was disqualified for audition by Decca records. But manager Brian Epstein succeeded to promote to George Martin. George was un favorably impressed for demo tape of The Beatles. But he offered recording to The Beatles, though he never met them. After that he  got a contract. His expertise of music helped to fill a gap talent of them and sound that their hopes. It was mostly common employment, That are orchestration and sound effect. In 1966, They were tired by tour. Because accident to endanger life is frequently occurring as their concert. On the other hand, They became positively in studio work. They created music that is unexpected to revive in concert. After concert activity ended, They released album called “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”. Production of this album took half year, and used a lot of sound technology. For example, “Being For The Benefit Of Mr.Kite”, He made tape editing in organ recording. Them and him works had an impact on sound technology.

They don’t ended as idol band, because they had the real talent. Finally, The Beatles had change pop music. In Japan, Nippon Budokan hadn't been play rock band since The Beatles play. After they play, Nippon Budokan become indie rock band’s purpose. In England, Activity of The Beatles changed music industry of England. According to Graham Nash who was member of The Hollies, “A central of English show biz was in London before The Beatles. A power of the market has changed as the band which is from Liverpool reached. As a result, The chance came to The band from Manchester The Holies. In USA, Till 1963, English pop group which get the first in billboard chart is only Telstar by The Tornados. But in early 1964, Single of The Beatles “I want to a hold your hand” got first in billboard chart. After that English band began to advance into USA. This movement is called “British Invasion”. Now, The Beatles is none. But they still has a great influence on musician all over the world. We need next The Beatles which change this music industry.
