2013 marks the 50th anniversary of Beatlemania, with their first number one, and their first album. From the time they were formed in 1962, through to their break-up eight years later, the Beatles were associated with a multitude of items, places and people. This illustrated collection focuses on 100 of the most important of those 'objects' - which heralded landmark moments, career changing achievements or curious episodes in the life of a Beatle. From tickets to records, instruments to memorabilia, clothes and the stories and histories behind them - including the drum kit Ringo purchased in 1960 and a copy of 'My Bonnie' (the band's first professional recording) and a ticket for Candlestick Park (the Fab Four's last concert); here are 100 amazing objects that tell the story of the Beatles as never before.

A must for any music fan
Bought as a gift and after checking, there are many things in this book that may be unknown for many people. I'd have it in my collection!

All you need is…….
This is a very enjoyable informative and worthwhile book. It provides information and is written without unnecessary bias and even a long standing Beatle anorak like me can get pleasure from its content.Highly recommended

Mistake-laden
This is a nice idea for a book, but sadly it is let down by being stuffed full of typos and glaring factual inaccuracies. The author even tries to make out that Ringo thought Little Richard was 'fat' - because he can't read his handwriting.From incorrect guitars (e.g. A 12 string Rickenbacker when the article's about a 6 string, McCartney's 2nd hofner bass when the article's about his 1st), to sloppy editing (e.g. Getting Tony Sheridan's name wrong), to downright lies (claiming that Sutcliffe left the band in 1960 when a photo a few pages later shows him performing in 1961- and uncredited of course.. Perhaps the author doesn't even know what Stu looked like), this book is a major disappointment. Sure it looks pretty, but once you notice so many mistakes you start to question the accuracy of the rest of the text, and it then ceases to be a pleasurable read.You get the impression it was rush released to capture the Christmas market before decent proof reading and fact checking could be made.Maybe a 2nd edition would sort out these problems, but at the moment this is so amateur it's not worth having. The author should be ashamed!

Una pequeña joya
Una recopilación de objetos relacionados con los Cuatro Fabulosos realmente atractiva. Tickets, carteles, varios instrumentos, prendas de ropa, manuscritos, fotografías poco habituales. Una colección muy interesante y una edición esmerada. Muy recomendable para cualquier fan del grupo.
