ALL THE SONGS - PHILIPPE MARGOTIN JEAN-MICHEL G...

In this lively and fully-illustrated work  two music historians break down every album and
every song ever released by the Beatles  from "Please Please Me" (U.S. 1963) to "The Long and
Winding Road" (U.S. 1970).    All the Songs delves deep into the history and origins of the
Beatles and their music. This first-of-its-kind book draws upon decades of research  as music
historians Margotin and Guesdon recount the circumstances that led to the composition of every
song  the recording process  and the instruments used.   Here  we learn that one of John
Lennon' s favorite guitars was a 1958 Rickenbacker 325 Capri  which he bought for £100 in
1960 in Hamburg  Germany. We also learn that "Love Me Do " recorded in Abbey Road Studios in
September 1962  took 18 takes to get right  even though it was one of the first songs John and
Paul ever wrote together. The authors also reveal that when the Beatles performed "I Want to
Hold Your Hand" on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964  John' s microphone wasn' t turned on  so
viewers only heard Paul singing.   There are hundreds of photographs throughout the book 
including rare black-and-white publicity stills  images of the Beatles'  instruments  and
engaging shots of the musicians at work in the recording studio.   All the Songs is the
must-have book for the any true Beatles fan.
