HUNTER DAVIESThe BeatlesThe Classic, Newly RevisedA worldwide bestseller, this definitive biography presents a wealth of information for all fans, both old and new. In this behind-the-scenes look at the most famous musical group in history, Hunter Davies gives the complete story of the Beatles from their school days to the enormous success of Beatlemania. First published in 1968 as the authorized biography of the Beatles, this new edition has added information including a new introduction and postscript. As the first and last writer to have full access to the Beatles, as well as their help and encouragement, Davies spent eighteen months with them when they were at the peak of their musical genius as a group, collecting material that would create, according to Marshall McLuhan, "a document of our century." Davies remained friends with the individual Beatles after their breakup and was able to write the continuing story of their solo careers. Full of wonderful photographs, letters, and memorabilia, this is a book no fan of rock music should be without. Hunter Davies, formerly an editor for the Sunday Times of London, is the author of numerous books. He lives in London. 1996 / paperback / ISBN 0-393-31571-1 / 40 pages of photographs / 516 pages / music | |||||
