Beschreibung
The Beatles follows the extraordinary development of four self-taught
musicians from Liverpool who revolutionized the world of popular music and
created a treasury of songs astonishing for their variety and innovation.
From the time of Love Me Do, their 1962 debut single, until their break up in
1970, they consistently explored new compositional territory with each new
recording.
Discussion of the Beatles' music is expanded here by a consideration not only
of the group's commercially released disks but also of rare working tapes
which illuminate the compositional process and reveal how some of their
milestone recordings took shape in the studio. This study is presented
within the context of the group's broader evolution û from the skiffle and
dance band, via its flirtations with folk, country and electronic music,
through to its final flowering in the extended suite that closes Abbey Road û
and set against the backdrop of the popular culture explosion of the 1960s.
