Spencer Leigh, journalist, BBC broadcaster and Beatles authority analyses and discusses the Beatles with the help of his vast archive of recorded interviews about the Beatles - more than anyone in the world. Leigh has been interviewing musicians, roadies, fellow broadcasters and many others on his BBC Radio Merseyside programmes for over 30 years. Drawing upon that resource and the plethora of books about the Beatles that have preceded it, each chapter is prefaced by the cultural or historic events of the times to put the music into context. As well as this book taking you on an enjoyable musical journey, you will be thoroughly entertained and will be listening with fresh ears to your favourite tracks and many more from the Beatles back catalogue.
