The larger mainstream record companies who disliked and distrusted rock ‘n’ roll instead produced and sold music that was bland and white-washed in comparison. This did not mean that there was a lack of demand from the kids who were rock ‘n’ roll aficionados, there was, but at this juncture, the major labels no longer catered to the needs of those who were purchasing the music. Instead,…

Thus, the use of an intermediate level between a song and its period of recording portrays changes in its style of music in a more accurate manner. The first period includes all of the albums that the Beatles recorded between 1963 and 1965 including…
