Includes bibliographical references (pages 175-215) and index.Early stirrings -- Hysterical girls and long-haired boys -- The Beatles for sale -- The Beatles and Black America -- Beatlemania's discontents -- The spirit of '66 -- In such a groove."When The Beatles arrived in postwar America, Beatle-mania swept the nation as hysterical girls flocked to the band and young men grew out their hair. In this book Andrew Hunt explores this wildly enthusiastic fandom from the bottom-up. Showcasing oral histories, fan magazines, club newsletters, newspapers, and personal memoirs, he uncovers the Beatles' fan culture from the perspective of Beatlemaniacs, Beatlephobes and ordinary Americans to understand the impact it had on society at large."
