The Beatles formed in 1957 in Liverpool, England and originally consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison. They gained popularity performing in clubs in Hamburg, Germany and signed with manager Brian Epstein in 1962. That same year, they replaced drummer Pete Best with Ringo Starr. Their first albums Please Please Me and With The Beatles were commercial successes, cementing their popularity in the UK and worldwide. They went on to produce groundbreaking albums that increasingly expanded their musical style and experimentation, such as Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Inter-band tensions grew through the late 1960s as they recorded The Beatles, Abbey Road
