The Beatles: An A-Z Guide to Every Song

Andrew Wild

The Beatles - an A-Z guide to every song - analyses every single track that the Fab Four recorded or performed - whether live or in the studio - from the most famous, to the most obscure. From the thrilling live act in the Cavern and Hamburg, through to their own early songs, the Beatles developed as performers and songwriters of rare distinction, always one step ahead of their competition. In the mid-'60s they increasingly pushed the boundaries of what a pop band could achieve, before breaking down the walls with the groundbreaking Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Writer and music collector Andrew Wild has gathered together every known performance, including every studio take, every live recording, every release and every session - both with the band and other artists - during the lifetime of the group. The full breadth of available Beatles music has been collected, catalogued and analyzed, then presented in a format that's easy to read. The book includes almost 1000 songs, from the very famous to the very obscure and from the dazzling to the dire and contains nearly 600 different recorded tracks and over 1000 recorded versions of those songs. It covers over 300 different tracks performed in concert and close to 400 songs released on album or single. If you're a Beatles collector or just a fan, you need this book.
