Customer Reviews

Great review for those interested in the details

If you are really into the Beatles, or are a musician or songwriter, this book is a must-have; it gives details you will not find out anywhere else. It gives insight on the sometimes surprising way in which songs are written, distributed, accidentally created, and/or manipulated by media & others. Fascinating!

FAB BOOK

GREAT BOOK, GREAT INSIGHT TO LOTS OF UNKNOWN FACTS ABOUT THE SONGS MEANINGS. MUST HAVE FOR ALL BEATLES FANS.

Great Read!

Don't listen to the completely moronic reviews posted here. This is a great book. The authors have done an excellent job researching, providing insight and giving great technical information about each track. There seems to be a lot of crybabying about certain tracks being left out, certain tracks being listed over others--who the hell cares, it's the f'n Beatles, for crying out loud, every song is great, from Yesterday to A Day in the Life, to Revolution #9. This is a book that the casual listener and the rabid fan will love.

Fabulous and Informative

Being such an avid fan of the Beatles, I thought I knew everything there was to know about them and their music. Not true! The authors did an amazing job. First, to narrow it down, by polling REAL fans, then, to research each song so thoroughly. They tell us the origin of each song...and many details that I, and many others, were undoubtedly unaware of. This is a well written, unique book about the "Fab 4". The photo's are wonderful as well. Do not miss this book! It truely is the best one yet! A personal recommandation...listen to the song, then read about how it "came to be". Kaitlyn
