Product Description
Product Description
Glass Onion consists of exclusive, rare, and uncensored transcripts of press conferences, letters, FBI memos, interviews, and dozens of previously unpublished photos. Here are the inimitable voices and views of John, Paul, George, and Ringo, juxtaposed alongside those of Yoko Ono, Linda McCartney, Pete Best, Julian Lennon, Brian Epstein, Billy Preston, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Ravi Shankar, Denny Laine of Wings, and many others. In this volume, readers will discover an early 1960s letter from George to Stuart Sutcliff; Elvis Presley badmouthing the Beatles to President Richard Nixon; Johns open letter to Paul after the rancorous Beatles break-up; a conversation between Lennon and Samuel Beckett; Lennons last will and testament; George Martin and Jeff Lynn discussing the Beatles twentieth-anniversary reunion; Pauls feelings on God, John, and Lindas death in 1998; and much more.

A "must read" for all Beatles fans.

Format:Paperback
Glass Onion: The Beatles in Their Own Words showcases rare, exclusive interviews with the Beatles, their families, friends, and musical colleagues. Also featured is an eclectic array of uncensored press conferences, letters, FBI memos, contemporary reportage, and dozens of previous unpublished photos. Herein recorded are the inimitable voices and views of John, Paul, George, and Ringo, alongside those of Yoko Ono, Linda McCartney, Pete Best, Julian Lennon, Brian Epstein, Billy Preston, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Ravi Shankar, Denny Laine (of Wings), Bo Diddley, Jerry Rubin, and a host of others. Readers will learn of Elvis Presley badmouthing the Beatles to President Nixon; a boozy conversation between Lennon and Samuel Beckett; John Lennon's last will and testament; Paul's feeling son God, John, and linda's death in 1998. Glass Onion is an intimate, candid, kaleidoscopic, revealing, illuminating portrait of the world's most popular rock band as expressed by the "Fab 4" themselves, and those who knew them best, personally and professionally.

Geoffrey Giuliano is the pack rat of Beatles historians. Any little scraps of clippings on them or interviews, he'll put it between covers, which has often resulted in some lousy books. (That he's a lousy writer doesn't matter with this book, as it is a collection of previously published interviews). And in this book are a lot of interviews the diehard Beatles fan will have read elsewhere. But, like a good pack rat, there ARE some interviews, and some very good ones, that you likely have not read before, of the Fab Four. So, if you are an obsessive Beatles fan like myself, there's enough good stuff (along with the bad) in this book, that I recommend it. It's a bit thicker than most of the author's books, so you get a decent collection of interviews.

It was the most interesting beatles book i've ever read. It had inside information and opinions of each beatle. I felt like i knew them personally. It wasn't helpful in writing my papers but it was the most intriguing. Once I have the time i'd like to read it from cover to cover. It is good for pleasure reading but not for research.
