Synopsis

The Beatles, an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960, became the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed act in the history of popular music. The songs of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr scanned several genres, from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. As their songwriting grew in sophistication during the decade, they came to be viewed as integral to the development of the 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form. This fascinating audio program includes actual radio commercials from the 1960s for the band.

I am a huge and lifelong Beatles fan in my 50s; I grew up on their music, but having seen the film, there really wasn't much left to learn so so my expectations for the book were not high. I think most of the reviews here were from readers who read the book before the Peter Jackson film was released......more

Goodreads review by Judy on February 12, 2022

It was a very strange experience reading words spoken by a band that hasn’t been together for many years. Sometimes following the context of the conversations was hard, but getting a bird’s eye view of their creative process was fascinating. I will look forward to watching the documentary soon.......more
