A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

"The Beatles have rarely tome across in three dimensions .... Davies does not swoon from gratitude at his good fortune (at being authorized to tell their story), nor does he eulogize the Beatles as latter-day saints. Instead he capitalizes on his position of privilege to inter view seriously John, Paul, George and Ringo, their friends, family and associates, with the sole object of putting together an honest account. His hard work and the obvious trust the Beatles have in him allow us to see the young musicians for the first time as interesting, fallible, corporeal creatures, each quite different from the others, each with his own history and hang-ups and hopes."-Newsweek

In this behind-the-scenes look at the most famous musical group in history, Hunter Davies pives the complete story of the Beatles. First published in 1968, this revised edition has added information including a new introduction and three updated appendices: Beatles Places, Beatles Memorabilia, and Beatles Books. As the only authorized biographer Davies had full access to the Fab Four, as well as their help and encouragement. He spent eighteen months with them when they were at the peak of their musical genius and at the pinnacle of their popularity, making a mark on history and popular culture that would never fade. Davies stayed on with the Beatles through their breakup and remained friends with the individual members afterwards, enabling him to write the continuing story of their solo careers. His is the inside story that "does not shy away from any mean and gritty little facts" (The New Yorker). Full of photographe, letters, and memorabilia, this is a book no Beatles junkie-or any fan of rock music-should be without.
