Publisher's Synopsis
Did you know that Frank Sinatra claimed the piece Something- composed by George Harrison - to be the best love song ever written? That the Beatles were the first group to lead the conquest of the world by British music? That Quino, the creator of Mafalda, was an absolute Beatlemaniac and dedicated some of his best comic strips to the four chaps from Liverpool? That the group's unmistakable sound and ability to win over audiences weren't forged in the bars and clubs of their hometown, but rather during their tough years in Hamburg? This book sheds light on the lesser-known aspects of the best-known group of all times: their development, their music, their achievements, their failures, but also their time, their influences, the people who surrounded them, the relevant places and the "secondary actors" who were crucial for everything to happen the way it finally did. There are many books about the Beatles, but none of them are quite like this one.
