CLIFF RICHARD - RICHARD BLASTS THE BEATLES' MUSIC

SIR CLIFF RICHARD has blasted pop legends THE BEATLES' musicianship - branding their guitar solos "horrific". The veteran crooner dominated the British music charts when the Fab Four first appeared on the music scene in 1962 - and is in disbelief their poor guitar playing was deemed sufficient enough to be included on their debut album. He says, "Some of the guitar is so out of tune it's unbelievable. I couldn't believe that here they were in this hi-tech age and they couldn't go back and do it with a tuned guitar." And the 67-year-old insists he has enough hit records to back up his claims, adding: "I've sold more singles than... everybody."
