Record launches, publicity events, holidays: everything was photographed and the best of best is presented here in this lavish and exceptional volume.

This book is the perfect gift for any music lover or fan of The Beatles, and contains a chronological narrative of all the major events of the 1960’s.

Anyone who lived through the 1960’s remembers The Beatles and with digital remastering of their music, younger generations now know them well too. Their songs will continue to touch the hearts of readers forever.
