Introduced by Paul McCartney ABOUT THE AWFUL I was bored on the 9th of Octover 1940 when, I believe, the Nasties were still booming us led by Madalf Heatlump (Who only had one). Anyway they didn't get me. I attended to varicous schools in Liddypol. And still didn't pass-much to my Aunties supplies. As a member of the most publified Beatles my and (P, G, and R's) records might seem funnier to some than this book, but as far as I'm conceived this correction of short writty is the most wonderfoul larf I've ever ready. In His Own Write is John Lennon's literary debut, a book of stories, drawings and poems that was first published in 1964 to great critical acclaim and became a phenomenon, selling over 600,000 copies in the UK alone and revealing a hitherto unseen side to Lennon's artistic output and talent.

Animated feature for the Fab Four. The Beatles - John (voiced by John Clive), Paul (Geoffrey Hughes), George (Peter Batten) and Ringo (Paul Angelis) - are shocked to be transported to a world inhabited by the evil, apple-wielding Blue Meanies. Travelling to Pepperland in their yellow submarine, the foursome attempt to halt the Meanies reign of terror by showing them that all you really need is love. The real Beatles make a cameo appearance at the end of the film.

22 beautiful arrangements, including: Eleanor Rigby * The Fool on the Hill * Here, There and Everywhere * Lady Madonna * Let It Be * Yesterday * and more.

Documentary looking at the solo careers of John Lennon and Paul McCartney during the initial post-Beatles period. Recordings by individual members of the Beatles had appeared as early as 1966 with Paul McCartney and George Martin's soundtrack to 'Family Way', but it was not until John Lennon's string of singles in the late 1960s that their careers began to diverge significantly.

Anthology: 2features the Beatles' working tapes from their most fertile period--the years in which they abandoned touring, retreated into the studio, and recorded some of their most enduring music. This isn't a survey of Beatles hits, but a treasure trove of rough drafts and near misses. An early take of "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" finds John Lennon still working out his vocal phrasing; a run-through of "Got To Get You Into My Life," recorded before the brass section was brought in, has the band trying all sorts of harmonies and an alternate bridge. "Your Mother Should Know," with a marching snare-drum beat, is nearly unrecognizable from the released version, and "Good Morning Good Morning," stripped of the heavy Sgt. Pepperpsychedelic makeup, rocks with Stones-like ferocity. There is also lots of clowning around on Anthology: 2--most prominently, John and Paul giggling their way through an early vocal take of "And Your Bird Can Sing." But the bulk of Anthology: 2isn't genius at play; it's genius at work. There are three takes of "Strawberry Fields Forever" that see this rock classic evolving from Lennon demo to bare-bones practice arrangement to full-blown production. Also featured are McCartney's solo demos for two of the Beatles' best. To hear him showing the band the chords to "Yesterday," and sitting alone at his piano, still fooling with the words to "Fool On The Hill," is to hear pop history quite literally in the making.
