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.'
