The British Invasion, Part I
We're back to history this week with a look at the British Invasion. Basically, all British groups wanted to break through to the States, because that was rock's biggest market. They also wanted to go because the music that inspired them to become musicians came from there. America was a sort of rock paradise, where the music that was still offensive in England was now accepted by all. Many tried to release records through large American labels, all were refused. Those who tried to release them through independents were generally crushed. It seemed as if the States wanted nothing to do with the Brits and that it was an impenetrable music industry. The Beatles, however, would change all that...
