"This is truly one Beatles book you need."

Synopsis
In the 60s, before the legend was fully formed, The Beatles were sometimes unguarded and often indiscreet in their comments. Members of their entourage would express frank opinions that in later years they sometimes softened or denied altogether. Now these original raw remarks have been unearthed and re-assembled in a vivid verbal documentary shot through with the authentic flavour of The Beatles in their heyday and the 60s musical scene they dominated.

Customer Reviews

It Don't Come Easy
Unlike Mr. Badman's previous 2 Beatle books (After The Break Up & Off The Record), this is not essential reading. There seems to be a lot of filler, and there are no surprises or revelations to be found here. It does contain some great pictures, and it is nice to have as an up-to-date (mid 2001) chronicle of the Fabs' solo endeavors.

Two-fold decision
I could imagine that there are two audiencies for this book. Firstly there are the hardcore Beatle fans who don't find anything new in the book, but who will buy it anyway, because it's nice. Secondly there are those who don't own a single interview book on Beatles. They will find this compilation suitable for their interest, and they will enjoy reading it, because it's nice and loaded with interesting quotes on this and that.
