"It amazes me that after all these years and countless books, the
scope of subject matter on The Beatles is so amazingly large that
writers always find a new angle. This book does that in a very
unique and clever way. It's a must for every Beatles fan." -Billy
J. Kramer "...It's a magical mystery tour through the band's life
and times." -Yahoo Entertainment The It-List "Part biography and
part map to the stars, The Beatles: Fab Four Cities is your "Ticket
to Ride" and walk in the footsteps of John, Paul, George and Ringo.
It's the next best thing to actually driving their car..."-Nina
Violi, Capitol File. and Gotham magazine "While the book can be
used as a handy tour guide filled with addresses, maps and photos,
it also makes for great reading." -Steve Matteo, The Vinyl District
"But now comes a "magic carpet volume" for Beatles fans that blends
travel guide with historical reference in an expanded study of The
Beatles' homes, schools, pubs, venues, and important historic
sites..." -Jude Southerland Kessler, Culture Sonar John Lennon
said: "We were born in Liverpool, but we grew up in Hamburg." To
paraphrase Lennon, we could say that: "The Beatles were born in
Liverpool, grew up in Hamburg, reached maturity in London, and
immortality in New York." Four cities. Four stars. The Fab Four -
the Beatles - are revered the world over, but it is in these urban
centres that their legacy shines brightest. Liverpool: where the
band graduated from church halls, leaving their initial line-up as
'The Quarrymen' far behind. Hamburg: where their raucous stage act
was honed; where arrests earned them a more notorious celebrity
reputation, but they became a true emblem of rock 'n' roll. London:
where The Beatles produced Sgt Pepper, and home to the iconic album
cover for Abbey Road. And New York: the city that became John
Lennon's home, where their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show
announced them to 73 million Americans. The Beatles: Fab Four
Cities invites the reader on a cosmopolitan trek across continents,
tracing the Beatles' rise to fame from one metropolis to the next.
Flush with timelines, stories, trivia, the numerous links and
connections between the cities and both pop cultural and local
history, this is a travel guide like no other.
