THE BEATLES: PAPERBACK WRITER

BEATLES BEFORE & BEYOND by CAROLE M.HOPKIN

BEATLES BEFORE & BEYOND is an autobiography and memoir written by Carole M. Hopkin, the sister of the famous 1960s Welsh singer Mary Hopkin.

Rather than a traditional biography of the band, the book offers a unique, firsthand perspective of the 1960s music revolution. After graduating from art school, the author's life was completely upended when her sister Mary was famously signed by Paul McCartney to Apple Records. Carole was instantly swept into the inner circle of the Beatles' world.

Here is the book description (Amazon) :

The ups and downs of being in and out of the limelight. Showbiz from the wings.

Dancing with Sinatra, singing with Robert Mitchum, chatting with the Beatles, dining with Buzz Aldrin, making cake for David Bowie, taking the Duchess of Gloucester shopping, and having strange meetings with Anthony Hopkins have added to a life well-lived, rich with good friends, family, and memories.

As the author graduates from Art School her career path is waylaid by her sister's sudden rise to world fame, and the two girls are whisked from recordings at Apple Records and Abbey Road to first class travel several times around the world.

Through this the author manages to sustain her writing and painting, adding singing, dancing and acting to her C.V. along the way.

She stars in The Mousetrap, and Dr. Who, chats to Richard Burton in New York, and Maxime de la Falaise as she makes Andy Warhol's birthday cake.

She's on board H.M.S. Hermes, entertaining the troops after the Falklands war and gets to paint in George Harrison's garden when she lives in Henley. In Monte Carlo she meets Anthony Burgess and Rex Harrison and parties away with the best of them.
The book sums up the best and the worst of being in and out of the limelight!

WITHIN YOU WITHOUT YOU

Within You Without You: Listening to George Harrison by Seth Rogovoy, 232 Pages, Here is its description:

How did the most reluctant member of the Fab Four put his mark on all of their music? This book helps listeners hear how George Harrison shaped the sound of The Beatles and how he carried that sound forward into his solo career

Within You Without You is a highly personal exploration of George Harrison's essential contributions to the Beatles and his solo work, as well as his significant role as a Western proponent of Indian music and beliefs. Through close examination of his guitar playing in the Fab Four and his songwriting both in and out of the Beatles, author Seth Rogovoy demystifies the enigma of this most reluctant of rock stars.

Drawing upon the insights of the author--a rock critic and historian of over forty years standing--as well as those of expert observers including Beatles filmmaker Michael Lindsay-Hogg and English rock singer-songwriters Robyn Hitchcock and John Wesley Harding, among others, this book extensively examines George Harrison's contributions to the musical world. Within You Without You will forever change the way readers hear the music of the Beatles and view Harrison's role in the group, as well as enhancing appreciation of Harrison as a cultural figure above and beyond his work as a musician.

STARTING OVER WITH JOHN AND YOKO: THE PHOTOGRAPHS

Starting Over with John and Yoko: The Photographs

by Roger Farrington

Kenneth Womack

This is the description on Amazon:

On August 7, 1980, John Lennon and Yoko Ono made their triumphant return to the recording studio after a self-imposed five-year absence.

Roger Farrington, an up-and-coming photographer from Boston, was hired to get “the shot” that would announce their comeback.

It would be Lennon’s most intense press scrutiny since the heady days of the Beatles’ maiden voyage to America in 1964, and for Farrington, it would be the assignment of a lifetime.

Just four months later, Lennon’s assassination would plunge the world into mourning.

Reproducing, for the first time, the entire run of Farrington’s iconic photographs from that day, Starting Over transports readers back to 1980 and into Manhattan’s Hit Factory, where Lennon and Ono recorded their acclaimed LP Double Fantasy.

With supporting photos and other ephemera, Farrington and renowned Beatles historian Kenneth Womack capture a poignant moment in music history and provide an insider’s look at celebrity photography in the pre-digital age.
