The first volume of the definitive trilogy. Years in the making, exhaustively researched, and described by critics as the new standard against which all Beatles history is measured.
Lewisohn's work stands as a monumental triumph, — a challenge not merely to other Beatles biographers but to the discipline of biography itself.
— The Washington Post
For more than forty years, Mark Lewisohn has done the work that no one else was willing to do — reading the documents, finding the witnesses, and checking every fact at its source. The result is a body of research that has quietly become the foundation of modern Beatles history.
He served as a key consultant on the Beatles’ own Anthology project, and his earlier reference works — The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions and The Complete Beatles Chronicle — remain the definitive accounts of how, when and where the music was made.
His current project, the three-volume biography All These Years, is an attempt to tell the whole story properly for the first time. Volume One, Tune In, was published to extraordinary acclaim; Volume Two is the most anticipated music book of its generation.
Lewisohn’s archive — tapes, transcripts, press cuttings and correspondence built over four decades — is widely regarded as the most comprehensive in private hands. It is from this archive that his books, his lectures and the documentary Evolver 62 are drawn.
The opening volume of the definitive biography — the band’s story from the very beginning, told with unprecedented depth and accuracy. Available as a standard single volume or the two-part Extended Special Edition for the committed reader.
The legendary studio-by-studio, day-by-day account of every Beatles recording session at Abbey Road. The reference that rewrote what fans and scholars thought they knew about how the records were made.
Every concert, broadcast, recording and public appearance — the complete day-by-day diary of the Beatles’ working life, and an indispensable companion to the recording sessions.
The most anticipated music book of its generation. This is where Mark posts brief, first-hand updates on progress — no rumours, no second-hand reports.
“Work continues. The writing of the next stretch is underway, and there is a great deal still to tell properly. Thank you for your patience.”
