Reviews:

Window Fishing captures the total early 60s excitement of those adventurous and novel times … the nonplussedness of the parents’ generation and the dedicated headlong drive into Beatledom of the younger teenagers … No-one knew where this was leading … and maybe we still don’t know … but youngsters were electrified into exhilarating life at the sound of a few bars of music.  Or the oh-so-simple count of, ‘one, two, three, four’ … We all knew what was coming next!  All round the world, we suddenly became members of the same club … a club which included the older generation as had never been before … and the belonging badge of honour had on it four distinctive haircuts on four distinctive faces.  Welcome to Beatlemania.

sister of Beatle,
John Lennon
