This is the Amazon description:

The Beatles 1967–1970 And Beyond picks up where The Beatles 1962–1966 left off, tracing the band’s most daring and transformative years.

As the Beatles abandoned touring and turned the studio into a creative laboratory, they began an era of boundless invention—Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Abbey Road, and Let It Be—albums that reshaped popular music.

Key songs from this period still define the band’s legacy: the ambition of 'A Day in the Life', the introspection of 'Strawberry Fields Forever', the gravity of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and the optimism of 'Here Comes the Sun'.

Lesser-known tracks deepen the story.

'It’s All Too Much' pushes psychedelia to its limits, 'Flying' embraces mood over form, and 'You Never Give Me Your Money' captures a band splintering yet still creatively unified. The book explores how psychedelia, avant-garde art, Eastern philosophy and cultural upheaval collided with fame, business tensions and four increasingly distinct personalities. It also traces how these final years shaped the Beatles’ solo paths and enduring legacy, from Live At The Hollywood Bowl and Anthology to Love and 'Now And Then'.

Sharp and insightful, the book reveals not just how the Beatles ended, but how they became immortal.

Andrew Wild is a British writer, collector and long-time Beatles fan, who recalls hearing the Red and Blue albums in the mid-1970s and has been in love with their music ever since. He has copies of every known Beatles outtake and live concert recording. His thorough and exhaustive study of every song performed or recorded by the band, Four Sides Of The Circle, was republished in 2024. He has written numerous music-related books, including several in the On Track series, about artists as diverse as Paul Heaton, The Allman Brothers Band and Dire Straits.

Alberto Bravin is a musician, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. He is the lead singer of the progressive rock band Big Big Train. Alberto was previously a member of the highly-regarded Italian progressive rock band PFM – Premiata Forneria Marconi (2015-2022), and for many years, he also played with his Beatles tribute band Marshmallow Pies. He lives with his family in Trieste in the north-east of Italy. This is his second book.

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE: THE MAGIC AND MYSTERY OF THE BEATLES´CREATIVITY

Across The Universe : The Magic and Mystery of the Beatles' Creativity

by Steve Taylor

This is the Amazon description:

A fresh analysis and appreciation of the Beatles’ genius and creativity, from an acclaimed scholar of transpersonal psychology.

It would be an understatement to say that there was something special about the Beatles.

How did these four young musicians come together at the perfect time, and how did everything go so perfectly right for them that they became arguably the greatest band―and one of the most significant cultural phenomena―that the world has ever seen? Was it simply a series of lucky coincidences, or could there be a larger reason for their success?

Steve Taylor, a renowned scholar of psychology and spirituality, and former professional musician, retells the story of the Beatles through the lens of their own creativity: from the unparalleled synchronicities and synergy that generated their success, to the ideal flow state they cultivated as a group, the relentless self-actualization of each of the members, and how they opened their minds to connect to the zeitgeist of the 1960s, to both access their own intrinsic creativity and become transmitters of a creative energy that transcended themselves.

This is the story of the Beatles from an entirely new angle, and is an appreciation of the psychological, spiritual, and cultural forces they harnessed to access their own genius. Wildly enjoyable and packed full of surprising insights into the Beatles’ journey, Across the Universe is an invitation to experience the Beatles’ brilliance anew.

Erika White is a writer, podcaster, and Beatlemaniac. She cohosts the BC the Beatles podcast, which discusses the band from a second-generation fan perspective, and has interviewed many prominent members of the Beatles community, including producer Giles Martin; journalist and author Rob Sheffield; director Michael Lindsay-Hogg; and John Lennon’s former secretary and partner, May Pang.

This is the book description on Amazon:

It’s grotes.ue, iconic, and infamous—and the story behind it is even crazier. Discover all the drama hidden beneath one of the most notorious and collectible record covers by the

best-selling band of all time.

In June 1966, Beatles fans lined up to buy Yesterday and Today, the band’s latest North American album, expecting another great record from the playful, mop-topped foursome. But Beatlemaniacs came face-to-face with John, Paul, George, and Ringo grinning manically, wearing butcher coats, and festooned with raw meat and dismembered

dolls.

Outrage erupted instantly. Capitol Records scrambled to recall and repackage the album, but the cat was out of the bag.

The legend of the “butcher cover” had begun. Today, original copies rank among the most coveted Beatles collectibles, but the story behind the cover has remained largely untold. In Meat the Beatles: The Butcher Cover,

The book offers a rare glimpse into the Beatles’ experimental mindset and their psychedelic creativity to come, capturing in detail one of the most important shots of the counterculture wars of the 1960s.

UNTOLD STORY:

Some Beatlemaniacs remember the shocking cover, but few know how it came to be. This book reveals the full story for the first time: the bizarre photo session, the clash with Capitol Records, and the chaos that made the album cover a rock history legend.

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!
