Description

At the start of 1963, The Beatles were a successful local Liverpool band with one hit single; twelve months, two albums and the arrival of Beatlemania later, they were on the cusp of world domination.



Featuring daily entries covering every pivotal event, The Beatles – 1963 draws on hundreds of new eyewitness accounts and provides numerous unseen photographs.



Meticulously researched, this is the definitive account of the momentous year that sent John, Paul, George and Ringo to stratospheric heights.


Dafydd Rees has been writing music books for over 40 years. His previous titles include Rock and Roll Year by Year, The Encyclopaedia of Rock Stars and the Rock Diary series.


Reviews

Fabulous account of a whirlwind year. The mixture of the magnificent and mundane exhilarates. A potent link between the professional and the personal. Well-written, and beautifully presented. Record Collector, 4*



A day-by-day account of The Beatles in their meteoric year. The level of research is very high, and the details illuminating Jon Savage, MOJO 4*



An extraordinary book… the ultimate Beatles nerd book but at the same time utterly gripping [and] curiously moreish Just Backdated



A chunky, very satisfying read, packed with an outrageous amount of detail.  Fascinating, intoxicating... you just want to read on. And on... Classic Rock



Compelling, humorous and quite unbelievable at times. Hot Press
