The Beatles: »Out of the Mouths of the Eyewitnesses« is a loud and unexpectedly candid chronicle of one of the greatest bands in music history, compiled from previously unpublished interviews. For the first time under one cover are collected direct, honest conversations with Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, as well as with their loved ones, friends, and the people who handled business with the band.
The interviews were recorded in 1980–1981 by Peter Brown, a close friend of The Beatles, and the writer Stephen Gaines. Brown talks not only about what was happening behind the scenes—about the Liverpool beginnings, the dizzying journey to world fame, and the tension within the group—but also reveals rare personal details. These accounts are of special historical value and make it possible to hear events as the immediate participants saw them.
A dramatic story of friendship and love, the price of fame, and the reasons the band broke up—one that forever changed music.
