42 Ratings
The Beatles believed that songwriting was a process that could happen at any time; many of the well-known songs we all know today started out as little notes written on hotel stationery or the back of envelopes. These original documents have ended up in collections held by friends and collectors, as well as in museums and institutions around the globe. Many have never before been released in print. The Beatles Lyrics contains reproductions of over 100 songs and lyrics, giving Hunter Davies a special platform to narrate the history of the music. The Beatles Lyrics will be a priceless resource for artists, academics, and fans worldwide because of the intimacy of these reproductions, which include lines thrown into the final recordings that were never written down and passages struck out and changed.
