By January 1966, Beatlemania had reached a boiling point. The Beatles were the most famous people on earth, trapped by screaming fans and constant media presence.
Desperately needing an escape, John Lennon and Ringo Starr made a secret pact. Along with their wives, Cynthia and Maureen, they snuck out of London and fled to the beautiful Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago.
In this video we look at the complete timeline of their forgotten 10 day holiday. From lounging anonymously on Bacolet Bay and hanging out with local fishermen, to getting an unexpected personal island tour from the Prime Minister himself, this is the untold story of the trip that gave them the mental space to return to the studio and create the groundbreaking 'Revolver' album.
