Description
A must-have volume for all Beatles fans-a career-spanning selection of writings about the Fab Four
There are, of course, many books on the Beatles, but this is the only one available that is a comprehensive, career-spanning collection of journalism about the legendary band, before and after the breakup. Consisting of more than fifty articles, essays, interviews, record and movie reviews, poems, and book excerpts-many of them rare and hard to find-Read the Beatles is an unprecedented compilation that follows the arc of the Fab Four’s iconic and idiosyncratic career, from their early days in Liverpool through their tragic and triumphant histories after the group’s split.
The book also includes original essays from noted musicians and journalists about the Beatles’ lasting influence and why they still matter today.
June Skinner Sawyers is an editor and journalist who writes frequently about music and the arts. She is a regular contributor to the Chicago Tribune, for which she wrote a nightlife column for two years, and is the editor of several literary anthologies.
Astrid Kirchherr is a photographer and artist who was a close acquaintance of the Beatles during their early career in Hamburg, Germany.
