Unlike that 9-hour anthology, which tended to skirt quickly past the “Rubber Soul”-to-“Sergeant Pepper” phase of their career, this 368-page book generously lends equal weight to all episodes of the group’s journey. The Beatles themselves have thoroughly detailed every significant iota of their tale in the new 5-pound doorstop of recollections titled “The Beatles Anthology.”Įmbellishing on the details covered in their 1995 series of videocassettes, this coffee- table tome is packed with seemingly-fresh anecdotes and insights into the whirlwind rise and ride of the moptop revolution. From this moment forward, there is no real point to future authors rehashing the history of the world’s most famous rock group.
But all the other Beatle books scribbled by hundreds of journalists, music critics, and quickie biographers can be swept off the shelf and tossed in the can. The “Day-by-Day” series of books by Mark Lewisohn are also invaluable. Those by Peter Brown, Cynthia Lennon, Pete Shotton, maybe Hunter Davies.
You can keep the books by those who were ‘there’ at varying periods.
