The Beatles 1962 to 1966 On Track - Andrew Wild

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.
