The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions: The Official Story of the Abbey Road Years 1962-1970

This is a great reference book. No problems with the purchase.

For those of us born in the 1950s, the Beatles were an enormous event and cultural influence. There could never again be anything even vaguely like it, unless teenage girls are going to swoon at the sight of paintings or books... but never again in music, as a subject.Some of us are musicians, and the music of the Beatles is a staple. This detailed tome explains the details behind the various "takes" of Beatles song recordings. So, for example, if you ever wanted to know how the hugely "impossible to play" intro guitar sequence to "Drive my Car" came about, this is exactly how and where to find out. In fact, that lead guitar sequence was dubbed on after the other music. Characteristically of the Beatles, it would seem they left it just like that when they discovered just how weirdly it mismatched the timing of the backing track. Meanwhile, thousands of musicians are busting their brains trying to play it. If you do not know what I am talking about, you are not an adequately devout Beatles "nut".

Para quem gosta de detalhes de gravações, se saber como álbuns foram feitos, esse é o melhor dos livros. Mark Lewisohn traz uma detalhada cronologia das gravações dos Beatles, dia a dia, do que foi gravado e como. Para quem ir além das biografias e saber como se constrói uma carreira musical dentro de um estúdio de gravação. Simplesmente imperdível! A compra foi rápida, fácil e o produto chegou exatamente no prazo.

Written some time ago and contains some historical inaccuracies but an indispensable guide to the Beatles recording history

Very happy with this amazing book - a documented detailed description of Fub Four studio activities.
