McCARTNEY: "There were groups that did Cliff and the Shadows. There was a group called the Blue Angels that sounded exactly like Roy Orbison; they were immaculate. The Remo Four did a lot of Chet Atkins stuff, with clever guitar picking. So we decided we couldn't keep up, we couldn't better any of them, we had to find our own identity. . . We looked for obscure rhythm and blues things: 'Anna' by Arthur Alexander [1962]." Paul McCartney: Many Years from Now
