Other than ‘I Me Mine’ and some minor overdubs, The Beatles’ entire EMI/Apple catalogue was recorded in fewer than seven years: from 4 September 1962 through to 20 August 1969. Twelve albums, twenty-two singles, two standalone EPs, 213 songs. That in itself is remarkable enough.But the quality of t he music, the rapid development of musical complexity and the innovations in studio production lifted The Beatles above every other band. The Fab Four were not always fab. But that some writers take the time and expend energy to point this out and purposefully diss perfect songs such as ‘Yesterday’ merely serves to remind us that, most of the time, The Beatles were unarguably brilliant.Authors Andrew Wild and Alberto Bravin have listened to, digested and discussed the entire Beatles back catalogue to remind them why they love their music. How do they affect us today? Answer: they were bloody good. They still are.This first volume covers the period 1962 to 1966 - from 'Love Me Do' to 'Tomorrow Never Knows', and the early albums – that were different in the UK and the USA, to Rubber Soul and Revolver. Four years of outstanding music.

The Beatles 1967–1970 picks up where The Beatles 1962–1966 left off, tracing song-by-song the band’s most daring and transformative years. As the Beatles abandon touring and turn the studio into a creative laboratory, Andrew Wild and Alberto Bravin guide readers through an era of boundless invention—Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Abbey Road, and Let It Be—albums that reshaped popular music. Key songs from this period still define the band’s legacy: the ambition of 'A Day in the Life', the introspection of 'Strawberry Fields Forever', the emotional gravity of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and the enduring optimism of 'Here Comes the Sun'.Lesser-known tracks deepen the story. 'It’s All Too Much' pushes psychedelia to its limits, 'Flying' embraces mood over form, 'Long, Long, Long' reveals quiet spiritual intensity and 'You Never Give Me Your Money' captures a band splintering yet still creatively unified. The book explores how psychedelia, avant-garde art, Eastern philosophy and cultural upheaval collided with fame, business tensions and four increasingly distinct personalities.Going beyond the breakup, the authors trace how these final years shaped the Beatles’ solo paths and enduring legacy, from Live At The Hollywood Bowl and Anthology to Love and 'Now And Then'. Sharp, insightful and deeply engaging, The Beatles 1967–1970 And Beyond reveals not just how the Beatles ended, but how they became immortal.
