Narrated by:
Dive into the songwriting, musicianship, and production of some of the most influential popular music ever created. In this revelatory assessment of the band’s artistic development from 1962 to 1966, Kenneth Womack and Scott Freiman provide accessible, close readings of songs – based on cutting-edge Beatles research – and tackle hard-hitting questions: What were the song’s origins, and how was it written? How was the song transformed in the studio? What instruments were used and how did that impact the song’s arrangement?
Discover the lyrical and musical elements that give these songs their magic and the techniques used by producer George Martin and engineers Norman Smith and Geoff Emerick that add that extra spark, bringing these songs to fruition. The unparalleled artistic journeys of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr as the Beatles are revealed here.

Critic reviews
The Beatles made their evolution visually legible, but this book provides a key to what can't be seen: the music. Kenneth Womack and Scott Freiman have written the essential guide to the band's touring era. (Katie Kapurch)
