Product Description

Synopsis
You're no idiot, of course. You know Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Abbey Road are considered among the best rock albums of all time; you've seen the classic films A Hard Day's Night and Help!; and you've witnessed the #1 success of all three Anthology CDs and their TV/video counterparts. But now you're wondering...why all this fuss about the Fab Four more than a quarter century after their breakup? Don't pass us by yet! The Complete Idiot's Guide to The Beatles takes you on a yellow submarine ride through The Beatles phenomenon, from their early skiffle days in Liverpool to Anthology and solo projects. In this Complete Idiot's Guide you get:

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent starter, and refresher, 25 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This is a superb book, and the author, much as he might claim to the contrary, is far from being a Complete Idiot. A photo from 1977 shows just how long he has been a fan, and how he likes to be close to the source of all Beatles knowledge. The book is full of fascinating revelations. To learn, for example, that the Beatles used to perform Chuck Berry's Little Queenie as homage to manager Brian Epstein's mother is a gem. Three cheers for this author and this great book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for Beatles beginners, 16 April 1999
By A Customer
It is a good book for new Beatles fans. A good start for one to know about the Beatles' life and music. I had more than 20 books on The Beatles before I read this book, and it still gave me some insight which I didn't know before.

I really like the ending bit where the author wrote about the reunion, the Anthology albums and the the two new singles. However it was a little short and I wish that it was much much longer.

It's a must buy for beginners and for hard-core Beatles who like to have more books on their Beatles collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, with a serious mistake, 8 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I've found this book is a good read, with a serious mistake. The author claims that McCartney's Sgt. Pepper's uniform bears the patch Officially Pronounced Dead (O.P.D.). Actually the patch is O.P.P for Ontario Provincial Police. McCartney got it from an officer giving to him during one of the Beatles' visit to Toronto.
