Author(s): "Beatles"

Music

This anthology contains recollections, from Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Harrison and John Lennon, about their early lives, their rise to fame and the time up to the break up in 1970. Also included are the memories of associates such as road manager Neil Aspinall and producer George Martin. This extraordinary project has been made possible because McCartney, Harrison, and Starr agreed to tell their combined story especially for this book. Together with Yoko Ono Lennon, they have also made available the full transcripts (including all the out-takes) of the television and video series The Beatles Anthology. Through painstaking compilation of sources worldwide, John Lennon's words are equally represented. The Beatles have opened their personal and management archives specifically for this project, allowing the unprecedented release of photographs which they took along their ride to fame, as well as fascinating documents and memorabilia from their homes and offices.
