Synopsis

The Beatles were the most influential pop group ever. In little over a decade four young men from Liverpool changed the face of popular music; but John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr did more than that: they shaped a whole generation. The Beatles Day-by-Day is a remarkable celebration of the Beatles unparalleled achievements and cultural impact. Its detailed entries follow the history of the Fab Four, from their childhoods to their early performances, the first Number Ones, including: 'Please, Please Me', and 'She Loves You', the arrival of 'Beatlemania' and on to the more mature albums Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, 'The White Album', and Abbey Road. This fascinating day-by-day chronology is illustrated with many little-known images of the band, and it is accompanied by dozens of feature boxes looking at their rivals and contemporaries, from Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones to the Hollies, the Who, the Kinks and many other timeless stars of the era. This book not only illustrates the personal development of The Beatles, but also shows how the group fitted into the Sixties Zeitgeist. From mini skirts and Mary Quant to drug use and political involvement, they were always leaders of their generation.
