Philip Norman’s biography of the Beatles is the definitive work on the world’s most influential band - a beautifully written account of their lives, their music and their times.
This epic tale charts the rise of four scruffy Liverpool lads from their wild, often comical early days to the astonishing heights of Beatlemania, from the chaos of Apple and the collapse of hippy idealism to the band’s acrimonious split.it also describes their struggle to escape the smothering Beatles legacy and the tragic deaths of John Lennon and George Harrison. Witty, insightful and moving, Shout is essential reading not just for Beatles fans but for anyone with an interest in music.
