IT’S HERE: MARTIN ORKIN’S THE BEATLES’ HIT SINGLES
The author’s comments concerning the release of his new book:
IT’S HERE!!!
Yes indeed! I am DELIGHTED to say that my fab new book The Beatles’ Hit Singles, Part 1 has arrived, and my esteemed website: rivalsofthebeatles.com is ready to accept orders and payment!
The Beatles’ Hit Singles, Part 1.
The Beatles’ Hit Singles, Part 1 is subtitled ‘Beatlemania’ and covers the early years from 1962 (even before that actually!), when The Beatles first tried to get people from outside Liverpool to notice them, up to the end of 1965. It is a hardback book, with sewn-in pages (not glued) so that no pages should ever fall out. If I say so myself, this book looks lovely!
As I said in my previous email advising you that my new book was on the way, I believe this book will be INDISPENSABLE to all Beatle fans. Even MORE indispensable than some or all of the other Beatles-related books you may already own and love!
Quite simply, this book delves fearlessly into the deepest recesses of The Beatles’ past in search of the fascinating stories behind arguably the most important part of their entire proud history: their fabulous collection of hit singles!!
That’s right: every single from ‘My Bonnie’ and ‘Love Me Do’ via ‘Please Please Me’, ‘She Loves You’, ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ and ‘Help!’ etc. etc. up to their December 1965 double-sided blockbuster: ‘Day Tripper’/’We Can Work It Out’! Also included are the singles released in the USA but not in Britain up to end 1965: including iconic recordings like ‘Yesterday’ and ‘Eight Days A Week’.
Who actually wrote each song. Who sang and who played what instrument on each record. Colour images. Chart positions, sales figures, reviews from the time: it’s all here in this great book!
A few reviews (of many) of individual chapters.
* Full of facts that until now were unknown to me.
* Martin Orkin’s writing is a treat to read.
* It sends me into the music of my life.
