To quote one author: 'In a few short months around late 1963 and early 1964 an event occurred which would impact upon all American popular culture, including the recording industry, the style of popular music, clothing styles, and even the acceptable length of male hair: America discovered The Beatles. The immediate and universal success of records by this British group amounted to nothing less than a revolution in music and public taste. `Folk’ per se, was out, and ‘Rock’ - just Rock now, not Rock n Roll was in. Throughout the rest of the decade The Beatles would be stylistic leaders. As such the age of “Beatlemania” is considered to have spanned the years 1963-1968, with their most influential album and perhaps their greatest masterpiece was Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967).'
