Best 10 Beatles Songs
*With Videos* This is MY Top 10 list of The Beatles music. I did not use Hey Jude and Let it Be because I think they are used too much in Beatles lists even though they are very good songs. Please don’t flame over my pics, thanks for any comments.

FStopProductions.com Pubishes New Beatles Archive of Images
In the summer of 1965, 17-year-old Bill Carlson wasn’t much of a Beatles fan.
“I was a geek,” he said with a laugh. “A ’60s geek who loved jazz and classical and photography, a combination that assures you of never getting a date.”
But when press credentials for the Beatles’ upcoming local concert at the Metropolitan Stadium arrived at the Merle Morris Studios where Carlson worked as a part-time photographer, he took the assignment, largely because no one else wanted it.
“For me, it was just another thing to photograph,” Carlson said.
Forty-plus years later, Carlson has revisited the images he captured on Aug. 21, 1965, and collected 140 of them in “The Beatles: A One-Night Stand in the Heartland” (Cumberland House, .95), a scrapbook of that day that also includes interviews with folks who interacted with the Beatles, press clippings from the daily papers and anecdotes from a handful of the tens of thousands of fans who descended on the stadium to scream along with what would become one of, if not the, greatest rock bands of all time.

Lennon NYC
- LENNONYC (DVD MOVIE)
LENNONYC is the story of one of the most famous and influential artists of the Twentieth Century, and how he found redemption not in the public adoration he craved as a youth, but in the quiet and simple pleasures of fatherhood. And, though he wasn’t a typical immigrant, his story is certainly an immigrant’s tale. Lennon came to New York City in 1971, seeking what every other immigrant who has washed up on its shores has sought: freedom-the freedom to be himself and not ‘Beatle John,’ the freedo

With the Beatles Album Review
“With The Beatles” may be the least known and least talked about of all Beatles albums (if it’s not Beatles For Sale.) It was their second album released, after Please Please Me, so it doesn’t have the distinction of being their first album. It also doesn’t have the distinction of being their first truly formed great album (which was their 3rd album A Hard Day’s Night.) But that’s not to say it’s not a good album, it does contain some great Beatles classic. Read the rest of this entry »

Books About the Beatles
I haven’t read all the books about The Beatles but being the big Beatles fan that I am, I have read many of them. I’ve read books that are primarily about their biography and books that are primarily about their music. I’ve read books about The Beatles that are really great and I’ve read some that are not so great. In this article I focus on the good ones that I do recommend reading.
Revolution In The Head – Of all the books about The Beatles, this is a book that I have a “love/hate” relationship with. I strongly disagree with many of the opinions shared in this book but I still find it to be a really good read. One that makes me want to listen to The Beatles songs over again to hear things from this author’s perspective. It takes a close look at each of the songs The Beatles recorded during the 1960s (originals and covers.) Although it contains many opinions, it also contains a lot of facts that make it a good resource.
The Beatles As Musicians - This is actually a two book set that is sold separately. One edition covers all of the music The Beatles recorded from their beginnings up through the 1965 Rubber Soul album, while the other edition covers their music from the 1966 Revolver album through the untimely break up of the band in 1970. This book is really aimed at students of The Beatles music. It largely bypasses the biographical stuff (which is fine, because so many other books cover that stuff) and instead focuses in great detail on the musical construction of their songs. This book is probably over the head of many readers because of it’s focus on music theory. But for those really interested in the musicianship and songwriting of the band, there is no better resource.
Lennon Revealed – This is a “revealing” biography of John Lennon (hence the name!) I have read a few books on Lennon and I think this is the best of them. It does a good job of making you feel like you’re getting to know the real John Lennon rather than just the “icon.”
Many Years From Now – Tells The Beatles story from Paul McCartney’s perspective. Includes many direct quotes from Paul. This is an extremely informative book.
Here, There, & Everywhere: My Life Recording The Beatles – This book was written by Beatles engineer Geoff Emerick and tells The Beatles story from his very interesting perspective. I don’t think any other book had me feeling like I was really there for the recording of their albums as much as this one. It includes some interesting technical details on how the music was recorded. I very highly recommend this book!
The Beatles Anthology - The “official Beatles story.” I think this is an obvious “must have” for any Beatles fan. It’s the perfect companion to the Anthology documentary film (which is available on DVD of course.)
The Beatles Complete Scores – The music (including guitar & drum tabs) for every song the band officially released during their active career (ie: no Anthology songs are included.)
Joshua J. Jacks believes that all of these Books About The Beatles are available for the Global Kindle. The Kindle With Global Wireless makes the Kindle EBook reading device available to the rest of the world (outside of the US) for the first time.

Take A Trip To Retrace The Beatles
When four Liverpudlian lads formed a band in the 60s, the history of music changed forever. The Beatles went on to become one of the most influential bands in the social and pop movements of the 60s and continue to remain popular now, nearly five decades later. Many fans from all around the world may have relinquished true Beatlemania, but are still keen to witness some of the landmarks and areas that so inspired the band in their early years.
Retracing the steps of the Beatles may sound like an impossible task when you think of the many tours and overseas jaunts the band took over the years, but the Beatles enjoyed their early years close to home and any Beatles fan can enjoy the chance to see some of the most famous clubs and sights connected with the band.
The first place for any fan hoping to retrace the steps of the Beatles is the streets of Liverpool.
The earliest incarnation of the Beatles saw the now infamous John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and of course Pete Best (later to be replaced by Ringo Starr) finding their feet in the musical landscape they were set to change forever. An early additional member, bassist Stuart Sutcliffe, left the band after a short period of time and the Beatles continued to refine their sound in Liverpool and Hamburg for the first few years. There are a large number of guided walks in Liverpool that can show fans around highlights such as the Cavern Club – the venue in which the Beatles’ popularity blossomed.
A range of exhibitions are also on offer in Liverpool, such as The Beatles Story, allowing fans to immerse themselves in the feeling of the times. Many also like to pay a visit to Penny lane, the street in the band’s hometown that inspired the popular song of the same name.
Quickly gaining in popularity, the band had its first recording session at the now iconic Abbey Road Studios in London and the album went on to enjoy a number one spot in the British chart. It was a sign of things to come, and the band topped charts consistently over the following decade. The studio was later immortalised in the album Abbey Road. This London sight is another ideal destination for anyone hoping to chart the UK history of The Beatles for themselves.
By booking hotels in Liverpool and London and setting out with some Beatles literature, retracing the story of the Beatles can be an amazing experience for any fan of the fab four.
