You thought Justin Bieber and One Dirction have been the only pop idols to cause frenzy to teenage girls? Actually, Justin Bieber and One Direction are merely the progeny of musicians and bands that used to drive girls totally crazy!

Apart from the King, Mr. Elvis Presley, The Beatles were the band that had thousands of fans that would anything to see, listen and scream at their favorite quartet. A common term used to described this intense fan frenzy directed towards the legendary British band, is called Beatlemania. During the early years of their success and just before they take over the world with their songs and ideas, the Beatles had a bunch of crazed fans that couldn’t be called anything better than maniacs, as the way they expressed their adoration for the band led the police to always be taking extra high security measures during the Beatles’ performances and concerts.

Enjoy a selection of interesting photos perfectly capturing the vibe of Beatlemania, its exponents and its… prey!
