Music journalist, pop music expert and editor John D. Luerssen (The Beach Boys: Essential Interviews and U2 FAQ) – has sifted through all of the Beatles' essential and, in many cases, extremely rare media interactions to collect the finest anecdotes of John, Paul, George and Ringo. In doing so, he weaves the Beatles' magical, memorable ascent, artistic evolution, musical revolution and ultimate dissolution, month by month and year by year.
Starting with musings from the band's first-ever radio interview in 1962 and ending with John's reflections on the group just prior to his untimely murder in 1980, The Beatles Ultimate Quotebook offers direct perspective from the Beatles themselves and is a captivating, uplifting, heartwrenching and ultimately indispensible read.
