Аннотация:
Few other bands in the history of pop music have been as successful as The Beatles. In little under a decade, the four young men from Liverpool, who began their career playing small bars and clubs, became more famous than anyone could have predicted. They provided the soundtrack for the Swinging Sixties, wrote and recorded ground-breaking albums, made motion picttures and their photos were pinned to teenage bedroom walls around the world. Their song writing output was so great that they often gave tracks away to other artists and, at the height of their fame, the couldn't hear themselves play on stage because of the screaming of adoring fans. Most importantly, they also changed the way the music industry worked, and inspired many bands who came after them. Featuing intimate photographs, familiar publicity shots and a lively account of their career from the band-s early days to their break-up, this book looks back at the story that is The Beatles. Alongside the year-by-year and album-by-album descriptions, there are also comprehensive guides to their singles and movies, as well as a whole host of surprising facts. Packed with information and stunning photographs, The Beatles is a worthy tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time.
