This well-researched book explains how Paul McCartney's artistic process led The Beatles. The author analyzes the Beatles' songs showing how they used ideas from the fields of psychology and the social sciences. McCartney's songs began incorporating these ideas and language when he arrived at the Asher's in 1963 which led the group to worldwide fame and guided the "counterculture." The group continued to use these subtexts as a way to write songs through their final album release. A ground-breaking literary analysis of The Beatles' songs and why they were compelling. Discusses the 1959 Macy Conference on LSD and Psychotherapy, the theories of Frank Fremont-Smith, Dr. Carl Van Rhijn, Dr. Sidney Cohen and cyberneticist Gregory Bateson. Analysis of R.D. Laing's general anti-psychiatry approach, David Cooper's writings, and Maxwell Jones's concept of the "therapeutic society." The last place one would think to find such ideas was in Beatles songs, but the author shows them influencing the structure of most of their output, including from the early "She Loves You," on to "Yellow Submarine," "Hey Jude" and "Going Home," and explains their integration with McCartney's artistic process. "Changing the fashions and lifestyles of youth throughout the world didn't happen by accident. We knew what we were doing." - John Lennon"An entertaining deep dive into the lyrics of Paul McCartney. A must-read for Beatlemaniacs." - Ken Goffman, author of Counterculture Through the AgesIncludes Appendices, Reference Notes and Index. 446 pages.

"Ken McNab's in-depth look at The Beatles' acrimonious final year is a detailed account of the breakup featuring the perspectives of all four band members and their roles. A must to add to the collection of Beatles fans, And In the End is full of fascinating information available for the first time. McNab reconstructs for the first time the seismic events of 1969, when The Beatles reached new highs of creativity and new lows of the internal strife that would destroy them. Between the pressure of being filmed during rehearsals and writing sessions for the documentary Get Back, their company Apple Corps facing bankruptcy, Lennon's heroin use, and musical disagreements, the group was arguing more than ever before and their formerly close friendship began to disintegrate. In the midst of this rancour, however, emerged the disharmony of Let It Be and the ragged genius of Abbey Road, their incredible farewell love letter to the world"--

Tune In is the first volume of All These Years—a highly-anticipated, groundbreaking biographical trilogy by the world's leading Beatles historian. Mark Lewisohn uses his unprecedented archival access and hundreds of new interviews to construct the full story of the lives and work of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Ten years in the making, Tune In takes the Beatles from before their childhoods through the final hour of 1962—when, with breakthrough success just days away, they stand on the cusp of a whole new kind of fame and celebrity. They’ve one hit record ("Love Me Do") behind them and the next ("Please Please Me") primed for release, their first album session is booked, and America is clear on the horizon.

Here is the complete and true account of their family lives, childhoods, teenage years and their infatuation with American music, here is the riveting narrative of their unforgettable days and nights in the Cavern Club, their laughs, larks and adventures when they could move about freely, before fame closed in. For those who’ve never read a Beatles book before, this is the place to discover the young men behind the icons.

Hundreds of books have been written about The Beatles. Over the last half century, their story has been mythologized and de-mythologized and presented by biographers and journalists as history. Yet many of these works do not strictly qualify as history and the story of how the Beatles' mythology continues to be told has been largely ignored. This book examines the band's historiography, exploring the four major narratives that have developed over time: The semi-whitewashed "Fab Four" account, the acrimonious breakup-era Lennon Remembers version, the biased "Shout!" narrative in the wake of John Lennon's murder, and the current Mark Lewisohn orthodoxy. Drawing on the most influential primary and secondary sources, Beatles history is analyzed using historical methods.
