About this product

Product Information

Perhaps the first serious analysis of the Beatles' work and its impact on popular music, Tell Me Why is meticulous in its purpose and long overdue....Of the hundreds of books written about [the Beatles] none bring the musical knowledge and the familiarity with the period that Riley offers here." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer Album by album, song by song, Tim Riley gives us a new, deeper understanding of the Beatles. Outdistancing the countless tell-all biographies that have been written, Riley's study of the Beatles' music is as rigorous as it is soulful. He explores the entire Beatles catalogue, making clear that the legendary four were not simply teen idols -- that they were, in fact, brilliant musical innovators who created timeless songs and virtually invented the album-as-art. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Item was better than described in my opinion and it did come in a bubble mailer. The package came in a timely manner, and the seller was pretty communicative by sending email after payment asking for confirmation of the address and stating when they will most likely send my item during the week. Overall, great seller, would come again if give the chance to. If you have a chance to do business with them, please do! And thank you goodwill_colorado_springs for my MLP DVD!

  • One of the best Beatles books

    One of the best Beatles books available. Some of it is head scratching - the deep level Riley takes in the musicianship, if you will. I'm not a musician and some of what he says goes over my head. I suspect it would go right over The Beatles' heads, too, as neither John nor Paul could read music. But "Tell Me Why" is well worth reading for every Beatles fan.
