The Beatles Live! by Mark Lewisohn - Paperback with Flexidisc

The Ultimate Reference Book.

208 pages with index, Lavishly illustrated with many B&W photographs and reproductions of vintage newspaper clippings and tickets and rare memorabilia throughout . This meticulously researched chronology of the Beatles's stage performances corrects hundreds of previously published inaccuracies and reveals absorbing new information about early Beatles history.

Every significant date is included from the fateful day in March 1957 when John Lennon was given a cheap guitar to the Beatles' last massive conference in San Francisco in August 1966. The gigs all over England, in Europe and North America, including the 22nd of August, 1964, when they played Vancouver's Empire Stadium, where the original owner of this book attended the show. The attached flexi-disc features a very rare seven minute first-ever interview with the Beatles recorded by Monty Lister, who hosted two radio shows in the early 1960's.

MARK LEWISOHN is the acknowledged world authority on the Beatles. Before embarking on The Beatles: All These Years his books included the bestselling and influential The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions and The Complete Beatles Chronicle. He was a consultant and researcher on all aspects—TV, DVDs, CDs and book—of the Beatles own Anthology and has been involved in numerous additional projects for them.

Inside Out: A Personal History Of Pink Floyd - Hardcover by Nick Mason - SOLD!!!!

The definitive history of one of the world's greatest bands by a founding member . . .

One of the most fascinating rock bands ever, Pink Floyd was formed in 1965. After a year in the London 'underground' when they experimented with revolutionary techniques like lights which matched their music, they released their first single in 1966.

Their breakthrough album, The Dark Side of the Moon, was released in 1973 and stayed in the charts until 1982, the longest a record has ever been continuously in the charts , becoming one of the bestselling all-time albums.

In 1975 they released Wish You Were Here which reached iconic status.

The Wall in 1979 went to number 1 in almost every country in the world. The movie version of The Wall starring Bob Geldof was released in 1982 becoming a cult favourite.

In the 1980s a rift developed between the band members which culminated in law suits. Only recently have there been reconciliations which have allowed founder member Nick Mason to write the definitive history of the band.
