A lavishly illustrated, rollicking account of the real people and events that inspired the Beatles' songs, now fully updated and revised by renowned Beatles expert and music journalist Steve Turner—the definitive analysis of the music and influences of the world's most successful and popular rock-and-roll band and the only volume that contains a complete set of printed lyrics to all of the Beatles' songs.

Who was "just 17" and made Paul's "heart go boom"?

Was there really an Eleanor Rigby?

Where's Penny Lane?

What inspired "Happiness is a Warm Gun"?

Why was Paul the "walrus"?

What inspired the lyrics to Ringo's "Octopus's Garden"?

Arranged chronologically by album, The Complete Beatles Songs examines the inspiration behind the group's writing and discusses every song created by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Steve Turner shatters well-worn myths and adds a new dimension to the Fab Four's rich legacy by investigating events immortalized in The Beatles' music, which has influenced numerous contemporary artists and continues to endure in popular culture.

Fully revised and updated (originally published as A Hard Day’s Write), The Complete Beatles Songs is the only volume that contains a complete set of printed lyrics to all of the Beatles' songs, used with exclusive permission from the band's music publisher SonyATV. It also includes new information on many songs, plus brand-new stories and revelations, as well as 200 black-and-white and color photographs-many exclusive to the book. The result is a unique, authoritative, and compelling masterpiece that chronicles the untold story of the Beatles themselves, for faithful fans and new generations discovering their music for the first time.

Review: This is a great book about the Beatles songs 🎵 their background and the lyrics to them. I'd forgotten about a lot of how those songs 🎵 go. As I said this is a great book.My favorites are Drive My Car I Want To Hold Your Hand I Saw Her Standing There Please Please Me Norwegian Wood The Night Before I Should Have Known Better Yellow Submarine Nowhere Man Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds With A Little Help From My Friends All My Loving From Me To You You Won't See Me I'll Follow The Sun Here Comes The Sun She Loves You Maxwells Silver Hammer and many others .You should get this.

Title: Perfect for the Beatles Fan in Anyone's Life
Review: I bought this as a Christmas gift for my father-in-law, so the book is no longer in my possession...but I wish it was! As a Beatles fan myself, I came very close to pulling off the wrapping paper and keeping this for myself. Before wrapping it up, I flipped through the book and read the stories behind some of my absolute favorite songs by The Beatles. For example, did you know that "Dear Prudence" was written about Mia Farrow's sister Prudence? Steve Turner's book is full of these interesting little nuggets. This isn't the type of book you're going to sit down and read for hours, but it makes for a wonderful coffee table book that you can pick up and read bits of from time to time. If you're looking to buy a gift for a Beatles fan, look no further.

Title: INFO EVEN A LIFETIME BEATLE'S FAN DIDN'T KNOW
Review: I like the way it was organized, by album. Everybody has a favorite album and you can go to that section for very interesting tidbits of info that will make even the biggest Beatle expect say "wow". There are even pictures I haven't seen before (and I thought I'd seen them all). I got it in the hard cover version which is nice. I plan on reading it often and the Paperback wears down after a while. For each song they give the lyrics, nice pictures during the recoding, and a brief, sometimes longer info regarding how the song came about. Once in awhile you purchase something that makes you say "nice"! Why didn't I buy this before?
