Summary: Fascinating
Review: I found this book by chance and it gave me a new impression of The Beatles. Mark Lewisohn opens the doors of Abbey Road Studios and gives a very good day by day account of the their recording sessions. Very readable I can highly recommand it for everybody who likes the music of the Fab Four and wants to get more information of how and why their songs were made. The great pictures make the book even more valuable.

Summary: You gotta have it! No question about it.
Review: I have a dog-eared, torn apart copy of this paperback, and I would love nothing better than to buy five more copies. This book is totally indispensible to true Beatle fans. Its a must-have. I have seen no other Beatle book as good as this one, EVER!

Summary: Inside The Beatles
Review: I have been a dedicated Beatles fan for many years. The Beatles have been with me for years and have inspired many of my own works. Listening to the albums and watching the Beatles' movies has been a very important part in my life, and owning this book is the ultimate experience. I'm twenty-two and unlike my mother and father who were actually around to experience The Beatles, I have grown up only listening and watching everything about them. If you have ever wondered about the background of a certain song or the reasons behind certain lyrics, you need only turn this book. I bought this at a flea market when I was about twelve and I continue to pick it up and read or find about a certain song or recording day in the life of the amazing group that we call The Beatles. This book is a must have for the Beatles collector, and will be more valuable beyond its price.

Summary: A must-have for musician Beatlemaniacs
Review: I love The Beatles records and have since my Dad purchased "Meet the Beatles" in 1966. The first records I bought on my own, as soon as I had a paper route and spending money, were The Beatles' LPs, in order of American release. I even knew the exact running time of every Beatles song and couldn't imagine that there were people in the world who didn't know every Beatles song. If you're like me, the revelation of the details of the recording of every Beatles track, as detailed in this book, will be a thrill to pore over.

Summary: Got to Get You Back Into Print
Review: I read this book many years ago, in hardcover. I came here to recommend it to others, and was shocked to find it's out of print. It's probably the biggest Beatle-related crime not performed by Mark David Chapman. Bad taste aside, this book is absolutely indispensible to Beatle fans, both for the insight into their studio magic and the equally revalatory photos. Their songs and albums are so ingrained in the public consciousness that it's easy to forget that these records were crafted by four "twentysomethings" and an ex-comedy record producer, and could have turned out much much differently if not for their collective creative brilliance. If you see this book anywhere, pick it up. It's fab, gear and wow.

Summary: Beatles recording history
Review: I walked into my university bookstore years ago during a book sale and I spotted this book... "Some Beatle garbage" I said to myself. Then I found myself buying the book...!Then I found myself buying all the Beatles CD so I could listen to the music that was described in the book... I think the Beatles ARE BRILLIANT and I despair what to think my life would have been without the Beatles!! I just spent the whole day of New Year's Eve listening to various Beatle cds and other sources!! This is a great book! and it's not being published...! :(

Summary: wonderful!
Review: I've read sections of this book countless times. It is indispensable to anyone who is a fan of the Beatles. Wonderfully entertaining and enlightening, with photos and copies of documents relating to the recording sessions throughout, this is a must have.
Rating:
Summary: Yes. Of course you should get it.
Review: It is a crime to put it out of print. It's like removing a copy of the Bill of Rights from the public library. Short runs on books that are still in demand is jive. Give the people what they want!

Summary: The only Beatles book you need
Review: It's all here - the outtakes, the insights, the photos, everything. Sit down with this one and the "Beatles Anthology" CDs and you'll appreciate it even more because many of the most notable outtakes and unused variants described in the text are included on those 6 discs. If you want just the Beatles' story there are plenty of books for that, but if you adore the band and the music itself this one is a must-have.
