Featurette: The history of Capitol Records in
Los Angeles
THE OTTAWA BEATLES SITE by
Tony Copple and John Whelan
"Created in the belief that
the Beatles were more than a great band; they
generated an atmosphere for good throughout the
world, uniting people in many cultures, and
through their timeless music and the optimistic
subjects of their songs, continue to inspire new
generations."
The Beatles are appreciated all over the world. We welcomed
visitors from far and near at the second Ottawa Beatles
Convention in 1996 at the Ottawa Museum of Science and
Technology, where John Lennon's psychedelic Rolls Royce was on
display.
