In this lively and fully-illustrated work two music historians break down every album and every song ever released by the Beatles from Please Please Me (U.S. 1963) to The Long and Winding Road (U.S. 1970). All the Songs delves deep into the history and origins of the Beatles and their music. This first-of-its-kind book draws upon decades of research as music historians Margotin and Guesdon recount the circumstances that led to the composition of every song the recording process and the instruments used. Here we learn that one of John Lennon's favorite guitars was a 1958 Rickenbacker 325 Capri which he bought for £100 in 1960 in Hamburg Germany. We also learn that Love Me Do recorded in Abbey Road Studios in September 1962 took 18 takes to get right even though it was one of the first songs John and Paul ever wrote together. The authors also reveal that when the Beatles performed I Want to Hold Your Hand on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 John's microphone wasn't turned on so viewers only heard Paul singing. There are hundreds of photographs throughout the book including rare black-and-white publicity stills images of the Beatles' instruments and engaging shots of the musicians at work in the recording studio. All the Songs is the must-have book for the any true Beatles fan.
