Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The world's greatest band in the second half of their career, song by songThe Beatles 1967–1970 picks up where The Beatles 1962–1966 left off, tracing song-by-song the band’s most daring and transformative years. As the Beatles abandon touring and turn the studio into a creative laboratory, Andrew Wild and Alberto Bravin guide readers through an era of boundless invention—Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Abbey Road, and Let It Be—albums that reshaped popular music. Key songs from this period still define the band’s legacy: the ambition of 'A Day in the Life', the introspection of 'Strawberry Fields Forever', the emotional gravity of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and the enduring optimism of 'Here Comes the Sun'. Lesser-known tracks deepen the story. 'It’s All Too Much' pushes psychedelia to its limits, 'Flying' embraces mood over form, 'Long, Long, Long' reveals quiet spiritual intensity and 'You Never Give Me Your Money' captures a band splintering yet still creatively unified. The book explores how psychedelia, avant-garde art, Eastern philosophy and cultural upheaval collided with fame, business tensions and four increasingly distinct personalities. Going beyond the breakup, the authors trace how these final years shaped the Beatles’ solo paths and enduring legacy, from Live At The Hollywood Bowl and Anthology to Love and 'Now And Then'. Sharp, insightful and deeply engaging, The Beatles 1967–1970 And Beyond reveals not just how the Beatles ended, but how they became immortal.
