From the author's website (www link as at 7 April 2021):

Rivals Of The Beatles is about the stories of some of the many excellent British and American groups who were part of the music scene in the 1960s at the time of The Beatles. Each chapter focuses specifically on one of these groups. What they have in common, for the purposes of the book, is some form of link to the Fab Four. Maybe they were inspired by The Beatles, or were helped by them. Perhaps they copied them. The ways in which these influences occurred varies considerably. It is one factor in making each of these tales so fascinating!

There are detailed, in-depth, chapters on twenty groups of the era including The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Byrds, The Kinks and The Yardbirds. There are also a few unexpected inclusions – to keep things varied! A list of the groups covered:
