Description

THE BEATLES "FROM CAVERN TO STAR CLUB"

THIS IS THE DIFINITIVE BOOK ON THE HISTORY OF THE BEATLES BETWEEN 1957 AND 1962 AND COVERS EVERY SINGLE RECORDING THEY EVER MADE, ON VINYL, FILM AND TV.

THE BOOK WRITTEN BY HANS OLOF GOTTFRIDSSON WAS ISSUED IN 1997 AND IS AN IMMPOSSIBLY WEIGHTY HARDBACK. SURELY, YOU WOULD THINK THAT THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO LEARN ABOUT THE BEATLES IN THEIR EARLY YEARS BUT THIS EXCELLENT BOOK BLOWS THIS IDEA STRAIGHT OUT OF THE WATER, ITS NOT A BIOGRAPHY, ITS NOT A DIARY, ITS NOT ANOTHER RECYCLING OF INFORMATION WE ALREADY KNOWN, ITS A WORK OF HISTORICAL SCHOLARSHIP WHICH SETS ITSELF THE NARROWEST OF LIMITS, THE RECORDINGS MADE BY ONE OR MORE OF THE BEATLES BETWEEN 1957 AND 1962. WHAT MARKS THIS BOOK OUT FROM THE REST ISNT JUST THE MIND BOGGLING DETAIL ITS THE TENACITY WITH WHICH THE AUTHOR CHECKS AND DOUBLE CHECKS EVEN THE MOST UNCONTRAVERSIAL FACTS WITH REMARKABLE RESULTS.

THERE IS ANOTHER ASPECT OF THIS BOOK WHICH DESERVES THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE PRAISE, THE PHOTO RESEARCH. IF A DOCUMENT OF RECORD EXISTS THEN THIS BOOK HAS A PICTURE OF IT.

THIS FIRST EDITION BOOK COMES WITH A BONUS E.P. "THE HAMBURG TWIST"... THE BEATLES WITH TONY SHERIDAN. THE E.P FEATURES "SWEET GEORGIA BROWN", TWO VERSIONS OF "MY BONNIE" (SLOW GERMAN INTRO AND SLOW ENGLISH INTRO) AND "SWANEE RIVER" WHICH ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION PRESENTED IN THIS BOOK PROVED THAT THE BEATLES TOGETHER WITH TONY SHERIDAN PARTICIPATED IN THE RECORDING OF THIS TRACK..... ALL THE TRACKS ARE IN STEREO

BOTH THIS RARE BOOK AND THE EVEN RARER E.P ARE IN MINT CONDITION, THE E.P HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED.

OVERALL THIS CAN BE CONSIDERED AS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECES OF BEATLES RESEARCH IN YEARS, ITS FIRED BY THE DETERMINATION TO FIND THE TRUTH AND A REFUSAL TO SETTLE FOR EASY ANSWERS AND SHOWS UNTIRING ENTHUSIASM FOR ITS SUBJECT.
