The Beatles Books - The Top Books About The Most Popular Band Of All Time
There are a lot of books about The Beatles and I've read a great many of them. Of course a lot of those books are less than excellent and I can't really recommend them. On the other hand there are some Beatles books that I definitely do recommend reading, and those are the books I'm including in this article.
The Beatles Anthology - This "coffee table book" is an essential part of every Beatles fans library. It's loaded with great first hand accounts of The Beatles history (told by John, Paul, George, & Ringo themselves) and a lot of awesome pictures.
The Beatles Complete Scores - The music for every Beatles song. It includes every part of the music including the vocals, the guitars, the bass, the drums, and any keyboards. It also includes guitar notation for guitar and bass guitar.
Many Years From Now - Too often the focus on The Beatles is on John Lennon. While I love Lennon as much as anyone else, I think McCartney's perspective is far too often overlooked. This book is The Beatles story as told by Paul.
Revolution In The Head - Includes an opinion piece on every Beatles song released (including the songs first released on Anthology like "What's The New Mary Jane?") While I don't always agree with the opinions in this book, they are still quite interesting. Plus, there's also a lot of factual information on each song that makes it a handy resource.
The Beatles As Musicians - This two book series is definitely the most detailed analysis of The Beatles songs that is available anywhere. But I should warn you: This book is only for those who are interested in music theory.
Lennon Revealed - There are a boatload of books about John Lennon's life and I've read quite a few of them. But the only one I can actually remember is Lennon Revealed. I think it's because it was the one that most made John seem like a real person rather than some mythological creation.
Here, There, & Everywhere: My Life Recording The Beatles - This is possibly the most revealing book about The Beatles actual recording sessions I've ever read. I never felt more like I was actually in the studio with the band than I did when reading this book. Fascinating. - 23812
