Featuring at No. 1 best seller in Rock Music Books on Amazon.com. Also featuring in the Art Film Promo 'The Fabulosity of the Foursquare Golem' & given 5 stars by Professor Ken Campbell, renowned historian & Beatles author. Review: - * described by him as 'unlike virtually any other book you will read on the Beatles. - The Beatles & their journey into Beatledom is thoughtful, imaginative, exuberantly written and painstakingly crafted.' * For example, deemed by many as responsible for the death of deference, the birth of 'Rock' music, and even by others for the demise of the Soviet Union and the end of the 'Cold War', there can be little doubt that at one point in the mid to late 1960's, The Beatles and their 'god like' status became something that was by then, taken seriously by serious commentators, as well as their global fanbase, incredible as that may seem in today's super-cynical, 21st Century world.<br> The Beatles were also lyrical alchemists, regularly turning the prosaic into the profound, the ordinary into the surreal and the every day into the fabulistic, a quantum quartet who demonstrated their ability to prove that both 'nothing' is 'real' and that 'nothing is real', a nuanced, philosophical distinction cutting edge scientists and cultural commentators alike are still coming to terms with in 2021.<br> - Matt Williamson VJ/Host - 'Pop Goes the '60's' (Youtube Channel) says * 'Thank you so much for this Journey in Beatledom... which describes The Beatles "...ability to conjure up & then meld opposites by somehow reconciling them, this cogent demonstration in lyrical form of their ability to bring people together across both the class & generation divide..." Great stuff!' *A world-wide best seller; it has been variously reviewed by readers as 'sumptuous', 'astutely written' & 'passionate & profound' - whilst Professor Ken Womack, Beatles scholar & acclaimed novelist calls it *'richly textured'* & Bill Harry, Beatles author & art school friend of John Lenno
