This is a Beatles book I often return to. I picked up a marked down copy after a few years of being a Beatle fan. It's a musical and lyrical dissection of the U.K. discography, which although uses music theroy terminology is much easier to read than Wilfered Meller's writings. I bought my copy in the early 90's and it was written in the late 80's at the time of the Beatles cd reissues. The book was reprinted a few years ago.
