You feel like are reliving every day in the life...and what a life it was! 'A whole lot of fun' 'Great photos too.' Mail on Sunday book review This new edition reveals many previously unknown sides to the amazing never to be repeated rise to fame and fortune of the Beatles, the most influential music group the world has ever known. A group whose reach and fame continues to grow with the years. It is time to explore just what happened to them in their early years to create such a phenomenon. A phenomenon that will never be known again as their first commentator, Bob Wooler, DJ at the Cavern club, so presciently predicted. Here is your chance to find out the origins of the songs that continue to fascinate and haunt in equal measure, to understand the times that formed and moulded them, to explore their undying message that only love can save the world. And it is a chance to marvel and wonder at just how four ordinary lads from Liverpool rose to become worldwide idols and icons for a new age. An age we are only now really entering.
