About this product

Product Information

Even before the Beatles hit the big time, a myth was created. This version of the Beatles legend smoothed the rough edges and filled in the fault lines, and for more than forty years this manicured version of the Beatles story has sustained as truth -- until now.The product of almost a decade of research, hundreds of unprecedented interviews, and the discovery of scores of never-before-revealed documents, Bob Spitz's The Beatles is the biography fans have been waiting for. Never before has a biography of musicians been so immersive and textured. We are there in the McCartney living room when Paul and John learn to write songs together; backstage the night Ringo takes over on drums; in seedy German strip clubs where George lies about his age so the band can perform; and at the Ed Sullivan Show as America discovers the joy and the madness. From Shea to San Francisco, through the London night, on to India, through marmalade skies, across the universe-all the way to a rooftop concert and one last moment of laughter and music.It is all here, the highs and the lows, the love and the rivalry, the drugs, the tears, the thrill, the magic never again to be repeated. Bob Spitz's masterpiece is, at long last, the biography the Beatles deserve.

  • I thoroughly enjoyed the Beatles biography

    This past summer I listened to The Beatles biography during a road trip with my daughter. I was very young when the Beatles first came to America, and always was intrigued by them. After listening to the biography, I became even more interested in them and ordered several of their CDs. I would like to warn you that some profanity is used in direct quotes of The Beatles in the biography.

  • Lots of details! Well done!

    We recently listened to it on a long car trip, and it made the drive much more enjoyable. Learned things about the Beatles we didn't know, and we thought we'd heard it all! Great book!
