The Beatles - The Story Behind Every Album & Song

Description: "The Beatles - The Story Behind Every Album & Song" (Music Icons Special Collector's Edition) by Christopher Scapelliti - Softcover (8" x 10-7/8") - Published in 2015 by Harris Entertainment - 124 pages (with numerous great black & white and color photos) - EXCELLENT condition. The British press were well behind the curve when the "Beatlemania" tag first appeared in newsprint in the autumn of 1963. It was adulation the like of which had never been seen, an unstoppable tide that swept the country as a string of infectious hits from the Beatles rolled off the Parlophone presses. Merely getting to and from gigs required planning of military precision, No hyperbole was needed to report the frenzied scenes when the Fab Four came to town. The pattern repeated itself as the world went Beatle-crazy in 1964. Less than two months after setting foot on American soil, they held the top five spots on the Billboard chart. The venues got bigger, and competing with a deafening wall of fan worship was a monumental task. Before they tired of the screamfests and retreated to the studio, the Beatles were in the eye of an extraordinary storm, the epicenter of a seismic cultural shift and era-defining artistic revolution. The Beatles were early adopters of available technology and were known for using innovative techniques, and this book admirably captures the recording process and tells the story behind every song in their English catalog, including all the singles and studio albums. In this great book, information regarding the credits for the recording, the genesis of the song, a notes on the production and technical details is included for each song. This book is a must for any diehard Beatles fan. There is some very minor edge wear, but this book is still in EXCELLENT condition. No collection of Beatles items is complete without this outstanding book.
