Beatles and Bond

Two of the biggest British phenomenon’s of the swinging 60′s – Beatlemania and Bondmania were launched on the exact same date and have a strangely antagonistic relationship.

The 5th October 1962, was when the first Bond movie Dr.No was released, and on the very same day The Beatles first single, Love Me Do was also released. Both would change the movie and music landscape forever.

And on it's 50th anniversary, the Beatles sons have formed a group, apparently...

Cool little article there, jet set willy! That's a mighty coincidence that Dr. No and the Beatles' first single came out on the same day.
