Synopsis

First published in 1968, Hunter Davies's intimate and revelatory book is still the only authorized biography of the world's most legendary and most influential pop group. This updated edition presents Davies's original book in a new, integrated illustrated format, and includes many rare photographs and illustrations. A revised introduction covers the 15 years since the last revised edition of the book, looking at how the band and their music continue to influence millions of people across the world and what Paul, George and Ringo went on to do after 1985. The work is brought right up to date by covering the tragic death of the youngest Beatle, George Harrison.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

In this behind-the-scenes look at the most famous musical group in history, Hunter Davies gives the complete story of the Beatles. First published in 1968, this revised edition has added information including a new introduction and three updated appendices: Beatles Places, Beatles Memorabilia, and Beatles Books. As the only authorized biographer Davies had full access to the Fab Four, 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, making a mark on history and popular culture that would never fade. Davies stayed on with the Beatles through their breakup and remained friends with the individual members afterwards, enabling him to write the continuing story of their solo careers.
