Illustrated endpapers. Illustrations (many in color). DJ has slight edge wear and soiling. The text attributed to Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, and the supplementary text by Neil Aspinall, Sir George Martin and Derek Taylor, comes in part form the interviews from which the television and video programs The Beatles Anthology were made, and includes substantial material which was not included in either. Further major interviews were conducted with Paul , George and Ringo specifically for this book. The text attributed to John Lennon comes from an enormous wealth of worldwide sources research over several years (*again, specifically for this book), including print and broadcast media, and pubic and private archives. The photographs, documents and memorabilia reproduced come from a wide variety of sources. George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have each granted access to their private archives during the compilation of this volume. Furthermore, unrestricted access was granted to the photographic and documentary archives of apple, as well as the archives of EMI. This extraordinary project has been made possible because Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr have agreed to tell their combined story especially for this book. Together with Yoko Ono Lennon, they have also made available the full transcripts (including all the outtakes) of the television and video series The Beatles Anthology. Through painstaking compilation of sources worldwide, John Lennon's words are equally represented in this remarkable volume. Furthermore, The Beatles have opened their personal and management archives specifically for this project, allowing the unprecedented release of photographs which they took along their ride to fame, as well as fascinating documents and memorabilia from their homes and offices. What a book The Beatles Anthology is! Each page is brimming with personal stories and rare vintage images. Snapshots from their family collections take us back to the days when John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Richard Starkey were just boys growing up in Liverpool. They talk in turn about those early years and how they came to join the band that would make them known around the world as John, Paul, George and Ringo. Then, weaving back and forth, they tell the astonishing story of life as The Beatles: the first rough gigs, the phenomenon of their rise to fame, the musical and social change of their heyday, all the way through to their breakup. From the time Ringo tried to take this drum kit home on the bus to their much anticipated audience with Elvis, from the making of the Sgt. Pepper album to their last photo session together at John's house, The Beatles Anthology is a once-in-a-lifetime collection of The Beatles' own memories. Interwoven with these are the recollections of such associates as road manager Neil Aspinall, producer George Martin and spokesman Derek Taylor. And included in the vast array of photographs are materials from both Apple and EMI, who also opened their archives for this project. This, indeed, is the inside story, providing a wealth of previously unpublished material in both word and image. Created with their full cooperation, The Beatles Anthology is, in effect, The Beatles' autobiography. Like their music has been a part of so many of our lives, it's warm, frank, funny, poignant and bold. At last, here is The Beatles' own story. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. Limited Edition. Raga Mala - an Autobiography of Ravi Shankar. Genesis Publications Limited. Page size: 235 x 168mm. 352 pages. 120000 words. 285 images. ISBN: 0904351467. Limited to 2000 Copies (this copy is numbered 1,403). Signed by: Ravi Shankar. Contributors: George Harrison, Yehudi Menuhin. Paper: High quality, acid-free 145gsm. Binding: Bound in Bangalore raw silk specially created for this book, with gilt hand-tooling and gilded page edging Originally published as a limited edition of 2000. Each book is signed by Ravi Shankar. Bound in Bangalore raw silk, specially created for this book, with gilt hand-tooling and gilded page edging, the edition was originally available in three colour choices: gold, purple and blue (this book is purple). Classically elegant in design and presented to the very highest of standards, Raga Mala is a beautiful record of an extraordinary life. The title of the book, Raga Mala or 'Garland of Ragas' was chosen by Shankar as it refers to a style of playing where the musician plays a series of musical melodies while constantly returning to a main theme. As Shankar explains, this is how he went about recalling his memories and how the book might be received by the reader, one recollection sparking from another. Shankar eloquently recalls his parents and his childhood in Benares, India; his commitment to music and the sitar and discipleship under guru Allauddin Khan; his move to the West and pioneering appreciation of Indian music in Europe and America in the 1950s and '60s; his 1966 meeting with George Harrison which led to lasting friendship, collaborations and superstardom. Shankar recalls pivotal moments such as performing at Monterey Pop, the Woodstock Festival, the Concert For Bangladesh, and performances with Harrison, Philip Glass, John Coltrane, Yehudi Menuhin, the London Symphony Orchestra, and many more. Shankar shares his spiritual beliefs and speaks about his philosophy of music and art, discussing in detail the history and technique of playing the sitar, accompanied by a glossary of terms at the end of the book.
