About this title

Synopsis

What were the demons that drove the most influential artist of the late 20th century? David Stuart Ryan has used his access to the files of Time magazine, plus interviews with many of the leading Beatles players, to build an unforgettable portrayal of the previously hidden sides of John Lennon. You feel like are reliving every day in the life...and what a life it was! 'A whole lot of fun' 'Great photos too.' Mail on Sunday book review This new edition reveals many previously unknown sides to the amazing never to be repeated rise to fame and fortune of the Beatles, the most influential music group the world has ever known. A group whose reach and fame continues to grow with the years. It is time to explore just what happened to them in their early years to create such a phenomenon. A phenomenon that will never be known again as their first commentator, Bob Wooler, DJ at the Cavern club, so presciently predicted. Here is your chance to find out the origins of the songs that continue to fascinate and haunt in equal measure, to understand the times that formed and moulded them, to explore their undying message that only love can save the world. And it is a chance to marvel and wonder at just how four ordinary lads from Liverpool rose to become worldwide idols and icons for a new age. An age we are only now really entering.

About the Author

Award winning writer and poet, David Stuart Ryan, takes you into the amazing world of the Beatles at the height of their fame as he reveals the many previously hidden sides of John Lennon. He has interviewed many of the people who helped to make the Beatles into their worldwide phenomenon they became. You will learn just how influential their first manager, Allen Williams, was in creating a band that became a world beater. During a memorable lunch time session that stretches all through the afternoon the manager reveals the secrets of just how he set the band on their way in Hamburg through his London contacts. The tangled story of John Lennon's relationship with his father is now told and helps to explain many of the demons that drove him, and of his eventual quieting of these demons right at the end of his father's life as the author explores the manuscript that his father left behind with his young bride. Even if you thought you knew the story of the Beatles you will find many hidden nuggets that David Stuart Ryan has dug out from the files of Time Inc where he worked.
