Кому было «всего семнадцать», и кто заставлял сердце Пола биться сильнее? Кем на самом деле была Элеанор Ригби? Что послужило вдохновением для песни «Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds»? Стив Тернер тщательно исследовал истории и события, которые нашли свое отражение в ставших бессмертными и покоривших многие музыкальные чарты песнях, написанных четырьмя простыми парнями из Ливерпуля. Начиная с первого хита «Love Me Do» и первого альбома «Please Please Me» и заканчивая «Live At The ВВС» в трех частях, Стив Тернер подробно рассказывает истории всех песен самой известной и влиятельной музыкальной группы в мире.

Эта книга рассказывает истории, стоящие за каждой песней The Beatles — я имею в виду все песни, которые когда-либо были написаны или исполнялись этой группой. Я постарался найти источник вдохновения для каждой из них и выяснить, как, когда и почему они были написаны.
