LIFE With the Beatles: Inside Beatlemania, by their Official Photographer Robert Whitaker (Life Great Photographers) [Hardcover]

In the mid-1960s, when so much was happening in the world and the volume everywhere seemed dialed up to 11, the Beatles were the biggest thing on the planet. Their fans screamed from the fences as the Fab Four walked across the airport tarmac or into a vast stadium. They wanted to touch the Beatles. They wanted to know the Beatles. Who might help them?

One photographer was inside. The young Australian Robert Whitaker had been noticed by Beatles manager Brian Epstein, who then hired him. When Beatlemania exploded, Whitaker was along for the wild ride. He was backstage, he was in the studio, he went to the boys' homes, he became their friend and confidante (He grew particularly close to John). Robert Whitaker fashioned many of the iconic Beatles images, and all his pictures of the band were taken in the period that Beatles fans most like to remember: when they were fab, when they changed our culture.

Bob Whitaker-a great photographer, after all-was a friend of LIFE's and made contributions to earlier books on John Lennon and George Harrison. In the months before his death in September 2011, he was collaborating with us on this book, his Beatles magnum opus. In these pages are rarely or never seen photographs and his personal reflections, which add resonance to the images. For those who once wanted to touch the Beatles, wanted to know them, this is an essential document.

It is full of vitality. Beatlemania was a crazy, crazy place to be, and it is captured here in all its nutty glory. Then, too, there are the famous Whitaker album covers, including the early drafts of the notorious-and banned-Yesterday and Today jacket. It is LIFE's good fortune, and it will be our readers', that Bob Whitaker talked about all this with us and others through the years. His testimony is that of a proverbial fifth Beatle: He was there, part of the scene. He saw it all, he recorded much of it on film, and he remembered even more.

Here, then, is Bob Whitaker's final word on the Beatles-all his best photographs, all his reminiscences. LIFE is proud to bring forth this book. It does what we always try to do-present great photography-and it also pays tribute to a bygone time, a bygone band that we all loved, and a man who was a dear friend.

The Beatles Collected [Paperback]

2013 is the fiftieth anniversary of the Beatles' major arrival in America. This book is the first serious book about Beatles collectibles. Beautifully photographed and designed, it includes a range of Beatles merchandise from guitars, plastic models, clothes, wigs, bubblegum cards, and even Beatles mothballs.

The Beatles in Liverpool: The Stories, the Scene, and the Path to Stardom [Paperback]
Chronicling the story of the Beatles in their native city of Liverpool, this rock biography combines authoritative text with the most striking images from their time in the city. Documenting the seminal events of this English quartet—from the Beatles’ childhood, the influence of Liverpudlian humor on their lyrics, and whether John was really a “working class hero,” to the other acts that the Beatles played for, the influence of visiting American rock and rollers, and Brian Epstein’s pre-Beatles troubles—this recollection reveals the Fab Four’s evolution from the Quarrymen (an early version of the Beatles) to international musical icons. Combining exclusive interviews with musicians, promoters, club managers, and audience members as well as fans, friends, and family along with rare photographs and memorabilia, this history is the definitive, fully illustrated account of the formative years of the world’s most influential rock and roll band.

Вот только что получил, еще не читал. Отрадно, что в обширном хламе «новых книг» о Битлз попадаются воспоминания непосредственных участников, а не пережёвывание, а иногда и перевирание уже известных фактов. И что наиболее ценно, участников главного дела Битлз – грамзаписи, работы в студии. Кен Скотт – один из немногих инженеров, кому посчастливилось принять участие в записи довольно большого числа их песен. Пролистал книгу, к моему сожалению лишь примерно треть её посвящена Битлз, но многим, конечно, интересна будет работа с другими артистами: Боуи, Прокол Харум... Любопытно сопоставить с мемуарами Дж.Мартина и Дж.Эмерика. Очень жаль, что не оставил таковых Норман Смит.

Да, я слышал о ней, это был самиздат на одном из битлфестов. Но не нашел тогда подробной информации и полагал, что она очень невелика по объёму. Но вот смотрю на амазоне: 500 стр. и хотя книга не только о Битлз, наверняка есть что-нибудь интересное. Цена, правда, кусючая.

Благодарю за полезную информацию.
А судя по отзывам, найденным мною, непосредственно о работе с Битлз в книге Смита сказано совсем немного.
