Brian Southall, the former Head of Press at EMI who worked with all the Beatles, has assembled a team of contemporary and modern experts, eyewitnesses and insiders – many of whom knew and worked with the Fab Four – to discuss each era of the band’s existence:
The Analogues’ Diederik Nomden & Bart Van Poppel • The Bootleg Beatles • Tony Bramwell • Ray Connolly • Barbara Dickson • Tristan Fry • Per Gessle • Graham Gouldman • Steve Harley Stephen James • Gered Mankowitz • Giles Martin • Glen Matlock • Chas Newby • Sir Tim Rice • David Roberts • Tom Robinson • Paul Sexton • Chris Thomas • Ken Townsend MBE • Johnnie Walker MBE • Kenneth Womack
These specialists comment on a variety of subjects, including how the songs were recorded, released, received and reviewed, and evaluate the long-lasting cultural significance and heritage of each album’s music. This second volume covers every major release from 1966 to 1970.
