In 1962, they signed a record deal with EMI and released their first single, “Love Me Do.” This was followed by their debut album, “Please Please Me,” which included hits like “I Saw Her Standing There” and “Twist and Shout.” Over the next few years, The Beatles released a series of groundbreaking albums, including “A Hard Day’s Night,” “Rubber Soul,” and “Revolver.” Their music was characterized by catchy melodies, intricate harmonies, and innovative production techniques.
