Reviews"Two things make The Beatles in Liverpool a fresh read for Beatle fans. One is the richness of the photos that present the people, places, and artifacts of Liverpool in the 1950s and early '60s. As the subtitle implies, there's an emphasis on 'the scene.' This means author Leigh brings into sharp relief the hometown contemporaries of the Quarrymen, what youth culture was like throughout Liverpool at the time, and the legacy the Beatles left on the city." -- Blogcritics, "Just when it looks like there's really, truly, absolutely nothing new to say about The Beatles, along comes The Beatles in Liverpool , a slender but meaty volume packed with photos, anecdotes, biography and gossip that documents the Fab Four's formative years." -PopMatters.com, "Two things make The Beatles in Liverpool a fresh read for Beatle fans.

SynopsisChronicling the story of the Beatles in their native city of Liverpool, this rock biography combines authoritative text with the most striking images from their time in the city. Documenting the seminal events of this English quartet--from the Beatles' childhood, the influence of Liverpudlian humor on their lyrics, and whether John was really a "working class hero," to the other acts that the Beatles played for, the influence of visiting American rock and rollers, and Brian Epstein's pre-Beatles troubles--this recollection reveals the Fab Four's evolution from the Quarrymen (an early version of the Beatles) to international musical icons. Combining exclusive interviews with musicians, promoters, club managers, and audience members as well as fans, friends, and family along with rare photographs and memorabilia, this history is the definitive, fully illustrated account of the formative years of the world's most influential rock and roll band.

Local Lads Make Good
Book makes the case that the Beatles had to make it because Liverpool was the center of world culture. Also now the number one tourist attraction in Britain. Very good for the tourist in Liverpool with maps, etc. Never heard anywhere else that Pete Best's kick drum was miked. Blew everyone's minds. Also that Parlophone had Paul try upright bass for Love Me Do. Still no admission that the Cavern was built as a slave dungeon, Liverpool being the center of the Atlantic slave trade.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Ok but not great
Maybe I expected too much. Not enough quality period photographs, particularly from the Cavern Club. There are some nice photographs in existence but they're not in this book. The author's Hamburg book is much much better.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
