THE "BEATLES"

The Beatles focuses on the group of young musicians who became a world phenomenon and were responsible for a consistently innovative body of music. The author examines why this music – created, at least initially, as ephemera – has remained so durable. Drawing on his researches into studio outtakes, demos, unreleased recordings and broadcast performances, he reveals how the tracks took shape, and how the group’s live performances changed throughout its touring years.
