Synopsis:

Subtitled Divorce, Drugs and the Slipping Image, this is the no-holds barred account of the power struggles, the bickering, and the bitterness that led to the break-up of the greatest band in the history of rock 'n' roll. The Get Back recording sessions were an attempt to re-energise The Beatles with a return to their stripped down rock 'n' roll roots, but quickly the project turned into the 30 day saga of a group in freefall. Carping and sniping, trudging through sloppy versions of old hits, the Fab Four were coming apart.Get Back puts the reader in the studio as John cedes power to Yoko; Paul struggles to keep things going and George quits the band. It also relives the glorious coda when for one rooftop concert the band left their differences behind for one last impromptu performance.

Review: "First class-detective work ... Fascinating and revealing, this is a Must for ever Beatles fan." -- Goldmine

"One of the most poignant Beatles books ever." -- Mojo
