Summary: "They are, in the words of John Lennon, 'The Greatest Show on Earth.' That says it all. They were the biggest concert draw of their time; they were the most important nd popular musical phenomenon in this century. Even the Rolling Stones didn't start calling themselves 'the greatest rock and roll band in the world' until after the Beatles broke up. Their records outsold all their competitors during the 1960s. Twenty years after they stopped recording, their records still outsell the works of many current bands. Their music and lyrics changed the loves of that generation - and the generation that followed. Twenty years later, another generation - people too young to ever have had a chance to hear them live - draws both pleasure and inspiration from their music. The Beatles were simply 'four lads from Liverpool' who cane together by chance to form an alchemical reaction that could be seen, heard and felt, yet could not be fully understood. This book is the history - in words and memorable pictures -of the Beatles and of the decade they helped define." -- Book jacket.
