The Songs the Beatles Played. An Expanded Compendium (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Unquestionably, the Beatles remain the key band of the rock era. Although their official recording career spanned just seven years, the musical legacy that they continue to bestow upon global popular culture over 50 years later is immense. It is testament to the incredible power that they had in shaping the musical landscape. Here, in a single volume (an expanded version of the author's earlier "The Beatles' Recordings"), are the facts behind all their studio, radio, television and film recordings recorded and released between 1958 and 2021 - - dates - locations - who played what - take and mix numbers - overdubbing, editing and release details - UK and US chart data. Also included in this Expanded Edition is information on over 80 of the key songs the Beatles played live but never recorded. From 'Across The Universe' to 'Your True Love', The Songs the Beatles Played gives details of over 400 of the songs that the Beatles recorded and performed.

Autor

I was born in 1960, and have been a Beatles fan all my life. One of my earliest memories is of being encouraged to sing a precocious 'She Loves You' into my Dad's reel-to-reel tape recorder.

I'm now a freelance designer/writer/translator based in London and The Hague. As such, I've written extensively on a range of subjects for clients from airlines and law firms to the United Nations in New York. But my passion is music, in particular the music of the greatest band of all time.

However, I'm interested in most forms of music, and am also fascinated by musical theory and what makes music "work". Analysing the work of (according to Tony Palmer) "the greatest song writers since Schubert", who wrote instinctively with no formal musical training or indeed ability to actually read music, was irresistible, and I hope my fascination shines through in my writing.

'And the Band Begins to Play', my first book, involved around twenty years of painstaking research the publication of Mark Lewisohn's 'The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions' first got me thinking it would be interesting to pull together information about individual Beatles songs in the form of a definitive reference book. It has been a true labour of love and my passion for it has never diminished.

Since then I have published a further book on the nitty gritty of the Beatles' songs, both recorded and performed live. 'The Songs the Beatles Played' gives detailed information on the the songs recorded by the Beatles, together with many of the key songs the group played live but never recorded.

My latest book is 'Forever Buster', a guide to the films of Buster Keaton.
