Non-Fiction Biography
As soon as the Beatles became famous, the spin machines
began to construct a myth, a myth that has continued to
this day. Biographers have come and gone, each repeating
the story precisely as they were meant to. But the truth is much more interesting, much more exciting,
and much more moving. Now, after years of research around
the world, hundreds of unprecedented interviews, and the
mining of tens of thousands of documents (many never before
seen), Bob Spitz has written the masterpiece biography that
Beatles fans have been waiting for. Spitz restores the
Beatles to what they were: a loud, angry, rock and roll
band-kids who became gods, not gods who happened to look
like kids. This is a biography of a band in full, not the story of
John and Paul and their two mates from Liverpool. Here we
see a vibrant Ringo, sharply portrayed for the first time,
willing the Beatles to produce the classic White Album. And
here we see in vivid focus George's wild passion for
innovative music.
