Description

Hey Jude!!! If you are a Beatles fan, this is the Book.  I bought this when it first came out in 1981!
This huge, ambitious work comprises such a large amount of material that it has been divided into two separate volumes, gathered in a slipcase. Two over-sized paperback books measuring 9" wide X nearly 12" long with 510 and 509 Pages originally carried in by St. Peppers.
These books are just loaded with black and white pictures of The Beatles, music and words to all their recorded songs, and much more, Michelle.
Volume I consists of the Musical History of The Beatles from 1962 to 1966, and the second one, from 1966 to 1970. Many great true stories and facts about The Beatles and also many great black and white pictures of them as well. Even ones on the Long and Winding Road, on their Magical Mystery Tour.
The books are 1018 pages in length, and contains over 100 photographs and the complete sheet music and lyrics to 211 songs. You can sing along or play along or if you can’t figure it out, someone will Hold Your Hand.
VOLUME II came in Through The Bathroom Window and covers the years 1966-1970 and begins with "Musical History: Volume Two (1966-1970)" by David Fricke protected by a silver spoon.
Next is the Paul McCartney Interview with Vic Garbarini which took place at McCartney's Soho Square offices in London in May of 1980. This interview covers The Beatles early days in Hamburg, and their arrival in the USA. This interview gives a scaled perspective of The Beatles years and Judy In The Skies.
Then there is a part about Something About George Harrison. In this part it is discussed how George Harrison was always in the shadow of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Many of Harrison's own songs were never released. Very interesting discussion in their Yellow Submarine.
Next there is "George Martin Remembers" by Jeannie Sakol. George Martin produced every Beatles recording until they disbanded and was even the musical director for the soundtracks of all The Beatles movies making sure they Get Back to where they once belonged.
Pictures, songs, song charts, more pictures, stories, so much excitement that if you try to read it all in one day, it will be A Hard Day's Night!!!
The slip cover is worn, faded a bit just like me, taped but will protect the jewels of the two books inside. The books are in very excellent shape! This is going for $900 (excellent shape) on Amazon. Of course this slip cover is faded and all but the books are awesome!
Great stocking stuffer (gotta have some big dang socks!).
Asking $150 but will consider REASONABLE offers. When replying, please place "Beatles" in the subject line or it will be deleted. Thanks!!!; Tucson, Arizona, United States; E Terrestrial Pl, Catalina Shadows Estates, AZ 85737, USA; User's other ads
