Brown, Craig, 1957-
One two three four : the Beatles in time / Craig Brown. - London : 4th Estate, 2020. - 642 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references.
April 10th 2020 marks 50 years since Paul McCartney announced the break-up of the Beatles. At that point, we will be at the same distance in time from 1970 as 1970 was from 1920, the year Al Jolson's 'Swanee' was the bestselling record and Gustav Holst composed The Planets. The Beatles continue to occupy a position unique in popular culture. They have entered people's minds in a way that did not occur before, and has not occurred since. Their influence extended way beyond the realm of music to fashion, politics, class, religion and ethics. This book presents a unique, kaleidoscopic examination of The Beatles phenomenon - part biography, part anthropology, part memoir, by turns humorous and serious, elegiac and speculative.
