The Beatles in their heyday had not become a well put together group. They were just a group that was always going to evolve. In 1967 they began performing in Hamburg, a city that they had travelled over a decade before. They toured for 10 years and soon their first album, ‘Journey Of Two Tunes’, reached No. 1.
