(Truly Vintage) Rock Clip(s) of the Week - The Beatles, pre-Rock Band era

From The Beatles' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame section:

"September 4-11, 1962: The Beatles hold their first recording sessions at EMI Studios in London, with George Martin as producer."

"It was 47 years today, George Martin taught the boys to play..." Nuff said. Works for me this weekend. This week's Rock Clip(s) of the week is early Beatles shit (and the Rock Band trailer). Photos, videos, links. Ya know, before next week's post Labor Day launch of The Beatles Rock Band (aka 09-09-09). To make us all forget awhile about the economy. Or health care reform. Or Noel Gallagher's leaving Oasis. Definitely. Maybe.
