Four cities. Four stars. The Fab Four - the Beatles - are revered the world over, but it is in these urban centres that their legacy shines brightest. Liverpool: where the band graduated from church halls, leaving their initial line-up as 'The Quarrymen' far behind. Hamburg: where their raucous stage act was honed; where arrests earned them a more notorious celebrity reputation, but they became a true emblem of rock 'n' roll. London: where The Beatles produced Sgt Pepper, and home to the iconic album cover for Abbey Road. And New York: the city that became John Lennon's home, where their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show announced them to 73 million Americans.The Beatles: Fab Four Cities invites the reader on a cosmopolitan trek across continents, tracing the Beatles' rise to fame from one metropolis to the next. Flush with timelines, stories, trivia, the numerous links and connections between the cities and both pop cultural and local history, this is a travel guide like no other.

Book Synopsis A Women’s History of the Beatles by : Christine Feldman-Barrett
Download or read book A Women’s History of the Beatles written by Christine Feldman-Barrett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-01-28 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2022 Open Publication Prize by the International Association for the Study of Popular Music (IASPM-ANZ) A Women's History of the Beatles is the first book to offer a detailed presentation of the band's social and cultural impact as understood through the experiences and lives of women. Drawing on a mix of interviews, archival research, textual analysis, and autoethnography, this scholarly work depicts how the Beatles have profoundly shaped and enriched the lives of women, while also reexamining key, influential female figures within the group's history. Organized topically based on key themes important to the Beatles story, each chapter uncovers the varied and multifaceted relationships women have had with the band, whether face-to-face and intimately or parasocially through mediated, popular culture. Set within a socio-historical context that charts changing gender norms since the early 1960s, these narratives consider how the Beatles have affected women's lives across three generations. Providing a fresh perspective of a well-known tale, this is a cultural history that moves far beyond the screams of Beatlemania to offer a more comprehensive understanding of what the now iconic band has meant to women over the course of six decades.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A highly evocative story set in Liverpool of the 1960’s. An exploration of what it was to be like to be young in the time and city of The Beatles. The joys of music and football in a golden age. At the start of the 1960’s Liverpool is an ordinary, northern city. Badly damaged by German bombs and still struggling to shake off the fall-out from the war. Tony and his teenage friends look at their dull, grey lives and dream of something better. Even their beloved football team, Liverpool FC, seem to be stuck in Division Two and going nowhere. Then The Beatles and Bill Shankly come along. And everything goes crazy. The city is the focus of world attention. And it isn’t just the music. Liverpool start to dominate English football, becoming one of the very best teams in Europe. Tony and his friends watch The Beatles, who they first saw playing at small local venues like The Casbah and Litherland Town Hall, go on to achieve worldwide fame. It is an astonishing time to be young and living in Liverpool. Tony writes songs and falls in love with a girl living in Penny Lane. He and his friends join the swaying crowd on the Kop at Anfield to watch Bill Shankly’s team and sing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’. The future looks bright. But life can be cruel. Nothing lasts forever. We all, in the end, have to grow up.

Book Synopsis The Country of Liverpool by : David Bedford
Download or read book The Country of Liverpool written by David Bedford and published by . This book was released on 2020-12 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1960s, Liverpool had the biggest country and western scene in Europe. Country music was part of the fabric of Liverpool; as ingrained as the Irish influence and a bowl of Scouse. Country music influenced every group. Follow the story of one of the top groups: Phil Brady and the Ranchers. When John Lennon started his group, The Quarrymen, their musical influences were skiffle (which has its roots in country music), country and western and rock 'n' roll (which has country roots too). Their musical heroes had their roots in country music and shaped The Beatles sound. ● Why were Liverpool lads obsessed with cowboys? ● Which Beatles album did John call their "Country and Western Album"? ● How many country-influenced songs did they record, both during and after The Beatles? The roots of the beat music scene of the 1960s began with Lonnie Donegan's "Rock Island Line", which was issued in 1956, beginning the skiffle craze. However, examining the skiffle music scene shows that the roots of skiffle were in country; the roots of John Lennon's Quarrymen were in country and western, which was reflected in the songs of The Beatles. Liverpool groups were playing a mixture of country, rock 'n' roll, rhythm and blues, rockabilly and whatever else it discovered. Groups had to decide which route to take. However country music wasn't completely new to Liverpool because of skiffle. Hank Walters formed his first group around 1947, while still at school. There was a country scene in Liverpool in the 1940s, when Liverpool sailors brought records back from America. They brought jazz, country, R & B and everything else that was for sale in the record stores of New York and Boston. When radio brought those American hits to the ears of British people, another music revolution was taking place. Liverpool, the last Western frontier of England, would find it had more in common with Nashville than London. So in 1962, Phil Brady decided to act on the influence of country music in his life and start his first band, going on to become the #1 country artist in Britain, receiving an award from Roy Orbison at the first British Country Music Awards. Phil, from the Dingle, met and toured with some of the biggest names in country music, like Slim Whitman, Willie Nelson, Buck Owens, Hank Snow and, when he visited Nashville in 1968, met up with Chet Atkins and George Hamilton IV, and spent the day at Willie Nelson's ranch. He recorded several albums and singles, including the very first 45rpm single for the new Cavern Sound Ltd. Phil had a fan club, run by Frank Nash, who saved many of his photos, flyers and newspaper cuttings, which are reproduced here for an insight into the musical career of one of Britain's greatest ever country music stars. Yes, some of the photos are blurred, crooked and low quality, but that makes them even more authentic and special.

Book Synopsis The Twenty-First-Century Legacy of the Beatles by : Michael Brocken
Download or read book The Twenty-First-Century Legacy of the Beatles written by Michael Brocken and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has taken Liverpool almost half a century to come to terms with the musical, cultural and now economic legacy of the Beatles and popular music. At times the group was negatively associated with sex and drugs images surrounding rock music: deemed unacceptable by the city fathers, and unworthy of their support. Liverpudlian musicians believe that the musical legacy of the Beatles can be a burden, especially when the British music industry continues to brand the latest (white) male group to emerge from Liverpool as ’the next Beatles’. Furthermore, Liverpudlians of perhaps differing ethnicities find images of ’four white boys with guitars and drums’ not only problematic in a ’musical roots’ sense, but for them culturally devoid of meaning and musically generic. The musical and cultural legacy of the Beatles remains complex. In a post-industrial setting in which both popular and traditional heritage tourism have emerged as providers of regular employment on Merseyside, major players in what might be described as a Beatles music tourism industry have constructed new interpretations of the past and placed these in such an order as to re-confirm, re-create and re-work the city as a symbolic place that both authentically and contextually represents the Beatles.
Download or read book Liverpool Fantasy written by Larry Kirwan and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's 1987, and the Beatles are gathering in Liverpool for a reunion. It has been twenty-five years since John Lennon walked out of the Parlophone studios, taking George and Ringo with him. Paul, American-speaking and -acting, has become the world-famous Las Vegas entertainer Paul Montana, and he's visiting Liverpool for the first time since 1962, hoping to reunite with his boyhood chums, the once "hottest little quartet—in Liverpool." Father George, now a Jesuit priest, is recovering from a nervous breakdown; John is embittered, alcoholic, unemployed, and on the dole. His wife has left him, and young Julian has joined the fascist National Front. Ringo lives on the earnings of his entrepreneurial hairdressing wife while he and John sit in weekends with old rivals, Gerry and the Pacemakers. It is Lennon's curse that he can imagine what might have been. Liverpool Fantasy is a blackly comic meditation on the enduring hazards of friendship, the alchemy of collaboration, and what a world without the Beatles—that is, without idealism—looks like.
