LOVE AND LET DIE - JOHN HIGGS GEBUNDEN

The Beatles are the biggest band there has ever been. James Bond is the single most successful
movie character of all time. They are also twins. Dr No  the first Bond film  and 'Love Me Do'
the first Beatles record  were both released on the same day - Friday  5 October 1962. Most
countries can only dream of a cultural export becoming a worldwide phenomenon on this scale.
For Britain to produce two on the same windy October afternoon is unprecedented.Bond and the
Beatles present us with opposing values  visions of Britain and ideas about male identity. LOVE
AND LET DIE is the story of a clash between working-class liberation and establishment control
and how it exploded on the global stage. It explains why James Bond hated the Beatles  why Paul
McCartney wanted to be Bond and why it was Ringo who won the heart of a Bond Girl in the
end.Told over a period of sixty dramatic years  this is an account of how two outsized cultural
monsters continue to define our aspirations and fantasies and the future we are building.
Looking at these touchstones in this new context will forever change how you see the Beatles 
the James Bond films and six decades of British culture.
