Synopsis

In this behind-the-scenes look at the most famous musical group in history, Hunter Davies gives the complete story of the Beatles. As the only authorized biographer, Davies had full access to the group, as well as their help and encouragement. He spent eighteen months with them when they were at the peak of their musical genius and at the pinnacle of their popularity, and he remained friends with each of the members as they went their separate ways. This updated edition addresses the changes in the lives of the Beatles: Paul's marriage, George's death, and their new books and records.

About this title

Review:

A document of our century.--Marshall McLuhan

[Davies's] hard work and the obvious trust the Beatles have in him allow us to see the young musicians for the first time as interesting, fallible, corporeal creatures, each quite different from the others, each with his own history and hang-ups and hopes.

Book Description:

Hunter Davies' "The Beatles" was first published in 1968 as the only authorized biography of the band, but in 2001 he returned to the subject to write "The Quarrymen".
