Product Description
Review
'It's merits as a reference tool are solid...hats off for the pictures...obsure, often unseen and 90 per cent delightful.' Q 'Not so much an Anthology as an Anti-Anthology, this weighty 'in their own words' tome counters the official Fabs history. Rather than relying on the faulty memories of men who aren't entirely sure in what order their albums first appeared. Badman has trawled through newspaper archives and radio interviews, to recreate the group's response to events as they happened. The results are probably nearer the truth. Most telling are the press conference extracts, which capture the Fab's growing impatience with Beatlemania adn how contemporary interviews show group unity dissapating after '66.'
Book Description
Celebrated Beatles researcher Keith Badman - author of Omnibus Press' much-acclaimed Beatles After the Break-Up - has now compiled the definitive book of Beatles quotes and interviews. From Cavern days to the final split, here is the story of The Beatles in their own words, plus comments from friends, associates and observers. There have been Beatles quote books before but none so comprehensive, definitive and minutely researched as this.

For all dedicated Beatles fans, Oct 14 2001
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Beatles Off the Record Volume 1 (Hardcover)
In The Beatles Off The Record, Keith Badman has assembled an impressive, 496 page compendium of unrehearsed interviews and outrageous opinions by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Their sometimes iconoclastic commentaries on the personalities, events, and issues of the day are arranged chronologically by year beginning with the opening chapters "When I Was A Boy" (covering pre-1960) and "The Hamburg Treadmill (1960) down through "Apple Crumble" (1969) and "The End" (1970). A massive undertaking, The Beatles Off The Record is a unique, essential, core title for all dedicated Beatles fans and reveals these four young men from Liverpool as no other book ever has -- or could!

A WORK OF ART -- STEAK AND CHAMPAGNE, Mar 25 2001
By BeatleBangs1964 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Beatles Off the Record Volume 1 (Hardcover)
This book is calculated to delight any die hard Beatles' fan as well as anyone fortunate to read it. The photographs and wealth of information are essential for any Beatles' fan to have; the text alone is invaluable. Although the release of this book coincided with the "Beatles Anthology," the poor timing does not in any way diminish the significance and high caliber of this book. This is something so worth reading that I can't recommend it highly enough. It is something to savor WITH "The Beatles Anthology," not INSTEAD of it. It is like having steak and champagne; both are excellent, but TOGETHER makes for a very nice package.

A Great Book!!, Dec 30 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Beatles Off the Record Volume 1 (Hardcover)
Although as not lavishly illustrated as Anthology, this book follows the structure of The Beatles : After the Break-Up 1970-2000 : A Day-By-Day Diary , by the same author. The beauty of this book resides in its simplicity and wealth of information. A perfect companion for the The Beatles : After the Break-Up. Release this book at same time of Anthology was their mistake, bad timing, but make no mistake the book is a must!
