Produced in a 12" x 15" format, this handmade, hardcover book follows The Beatles long and winding road, from early Beatlemania to the recent 50th anniversary of the landmark "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album.
The New York Times covered the Beatles more than two months before the British Invasion rocked the world. In December 1963, a Times magazine article declared, "Britons Succumb to Beatlemania." When the Fab Four arrived in America on Feb. 7, 1964, Times journalists were on the scene and the newspaper reported, "The Beatles Invade, Complete With Long Hair and Screaming Fans."
Over the decades, the Beatles have taken the world with them on a magical mystery tour. Now, you can experience the Beatles as the world and The New York Times experienced them. "Lads From Liverpool" is a coffee-table leatherette book packed with reprinted Times pages about John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.
As you flip through "Lads From Liverpool" it will take you back to all the major events: the Beatles' first television appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show," their Shea Stadium concert in front of 56,000 fans, the band's breakup and the deaths of Lennon and Harrison. There are also numerous profiles, album reviews and retrospectives on how the Beatles changed the world.
An epic gift for Beatles fans, the hardcover book features stately leatherette binding and the cover can be personalized. It comes with a 2.5" x 7.5" magnifier and a certificate of authenticity.
Produced in Vermont.
