BARROW, TONY / BEATLES  Beatles - the Real Story - John, Paul, George, Ringo & Me - By Tony Barrow
London: Andre Deutsch Pub, 2005. First Edition. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. Photos. 6 x 9-1/2 " 0233001409 2005 Hardcover in DJ. Brand new from publisher. Excellent Gift Giving quality. Never opened, Never owned, Never marked. Jacket protected in New non-stick clear mylar sleeve. 280 pages including index, illustrated 24 pages glossy photographs. This is a beautiful book; black cloth over boards with silver gilt title impressed onto spine, in glossy black & white photographic jacket. Professional writer and PR consultant, author Tony Barrow was The Beatles' Press Officer between 1962 when they issued their first single, 'Love Me Do,' and 1968 when they set up their own management company, Apple Corps. in the wake of manager Brian Epstein's death. Barrow coined The Beatles' nickname of the 'Fab Four,' wrote the sleeve notes for a number of the group's album covers, set up their huge international press conerences, selected their media interviews and fixed up their photo shoots at home and abroad during the touring years, and finally collaborated with Paul McCartney in 1967 to compile the strip-cartoon story booklet that came with The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour recordings. He is one of a tiny handful of surviving eyewitnesses able to write a first-hand account of life within The Beatles' close-knit entourage and the only remaining professional writer from that circle. Few were closer to The Beatles than Tony Barrow, and this is not merely a biogaphy of the Fab Four, but a unique and vividly personal memoir by a Liverpool-born author who knew John, Paul, George and Ringo as friends throughout the height of their fame."

BRODAX, AL / BEATLES  Beatles Yellow Submarine , the Making of the - Up Periscope Yellow

Gift Giving quality ... 267 pages ... illustrated with photographs ... If in the sixties the world of pop belonged to the Beatles, so too for a good part of that decade did Al Brodax ... It was a tumultuous and wondrous time for all of them, crowned with the making of their now classic motion picture, ' Yellow Submarine ' ...Al Brodax was the producer and, with Erich Segal and others, a co-author of the screenplay ... In this book he recalls a frenzied, madcap escapade that came to be reflected in an enduring piece of screen history ... The film studio was a factory loft in London's Soho Square ... In addition to The Beatles - John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and George Harrison - and Al , the cast included more than a dozen animators, inkers, background artists, soundmen, cameramen, and various essential expediters ... Recruited from the U.S, Europe, Australia and all over the U.K, they produced, aside from the classic film, more than a dozen pregnancies and one or two marriages ... The story of what else happened to them during those harried 11 months of creation have been culled by the author from a rich jumble of late-night, early-morning scribblings during production and from memories that continue to nourish him ... His generously illustrated book is a special gift to fans of the Beatles, of ' Yellow Submarine ,' and of spirited, flavorful writing about movies ... " Up Periscope Yellow : The Making of the Beatles Yellow Submarine," by Al Brodax, published by Limelight Editions, New York 2004 softcover ... ***. New .
