The Beatles

"Travel with the Beatles on an improbable journey as they become the entertainment sensation of the 1960's, achieving a level of fame that soon reaches legendary status. This book relives every step, from their hardscrabble days in the Liverpool music scene and their tempering in Hamburg's tawdry red-light district, to their innovative recordings at Abbey Road Studios. Watch as their experimental, stylistic influences change the pop music industry, even as their brash--often profound--insights change the world. in this unique book, you will learn about the Beatles' famously rejected audition at Decca studios, the genesis of their first number-one single, their smash American debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, plus many other stops along their road to superstardom. With full spreads devoted to each British album, additional features on instrumentation, hit singles, the British Invasion, merchandising, support staff, and solo careers, plus tons of Fab Facts, this book will captivate fans of all ages."--Backcover.
