The Beatles: The Dream Is over : Off the Record (2): Pt. 1, v. 2 (The "Beatles": Off the Record) - Softcover
Synopsis
Following on from "Off The Record Volume I", the author seeks out rare interviews from obscure sources that offer an unscripted account of their lives, telling a tale that comes closer to the truth than "official" versions authorized by the three surviving Beatles themselves. Beginning in 1970, Badman traces the lives, loves and music of John, Paul, George and Ringo right up to 2002, their stories in their own words and in the words of those closest to them. He tells the stories behind the news, adding flesh to the skeleton of their post-Beatles lives. This edition is updated to include details of the death of George Harrison, Paul McCartney's appearance at the charity concert at Madison Square Gardens in aid of the victims of September 11th 2001 and Yoko Ono's "peace" message. It also takes in Paul's American tour of summer 2002 and his involvement in the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations.

Review
'It's merits as a reference tool are solid...hats off for the pictures...obsure, often unseen and 90 per cent delightful.' Q 'Not so much an Anthology as an Anti-Anthology, this weighty 'in their own words' tome counters the official Fabs history. Rather than relying on the faulty memories of men who aren't entirely sure in what order their albums first appeared. Badman has trawled through newspaper archives and radio interviews, to recreate the group's response to events as they happened. The results are probably nearer the truth. Most telling are the press conference extracts, which capture the Fab's growing impatience with Beatlemania adn how contemporary interviews show group unity dissapating after '66.'
