137 Rare Beatles Facts

From the desk of Peter Carter…

Dear Music Lover

Many years ago, it struck me that a lot of books on the Beatles were padded-out….overpersonalised…..low on interesting information….hard to wade through….missing hard facts…..

How would you like a book that’s different?

Based on informal conversations with ex-associates, years of attending conventions, reading original magazines and buying ‘unreleased’ footage, this book summarises the most fascinating aspects of this incredible band…crystallises unknown astonishing facts….and focuses on the interesting parts…you literally won’t be able to put it down.

In this book, you’ll find out….

What was the most astounding thing John Lennon ever did…....Page 10

What were the four actual key factors that broke them up? (The details are on Page 18)

What was one of the real reasons George Martin signed them (not connected with their humour or even music by the way)…it’s on Page 6

How did the Maharishi really react regarding their quitting India? What were his exact words regarding John Lennon?....the quote’s on Page 16

The actual reason Brian didn’t attend their last concert in Candlestick Park (he had urgent ‘social’ business to attend to)…find out what on Page 34

The astounding list of Beatle ‘firsts’ in the rock industry….there’s a whole section on it…..very useful when talking to people who ‘diss’ The Beatles…

The important post-1970 reunions that will surprise you…..the near-misses and last-recorded John and Paul session (1974 by the way)….and Paul’s reunion with an old Cavern friend in 1999….

The person who got John and Yoko back together….the answer floored the author when he found out (it’s the first fact on Page 36)

The astonishing info regarding the most influential Beatle on popular culture (which wasn’t John Lennon, incidentally….)

And around 128 more Beatles Facts that will startle you…..!

[Stop Press!! Price reduced from $17 to $10 to celebrate the start of Liverpool’s Capital of Culture Year. Limited period only!]

No matter how well you think you know the Beatles, you’ll discover sensational information that will amaze you. I’ve shown this to friends who have listened to and read about them for thirty years….they’ve responded with surprise and gratitude after reading just the first two pages! This is a book that had to be written, a condensed book not only for those curious about the finest and most seminal band - but also those who really know The Beatles - but want interesting little-known facts in one place.

Sections include:

Facts in chronological order (main section)

A paragraph for each one with supporting data, from 1880 (John’s grandfather) to Paul’s 1999 Cavern concert meeting with a certain DJ

The Part Luck Played

Serendipity and The Beatles’ story: how they got to Hamburg, the lucky meeting that gave them that haircut, and the unplanned synchronicity of taking over America

Paul Facts

A tribute to this remarkable songwriter, guitarist and all-round musician, his cultural influence, his Beatle guitar solos, his Beatle LP cover designs etc. etc.

Pre-fame facts

The Beatles roots explored - The Beatles motto, the faked music Store photo, John’s family, the truth about Pete Best’s sacking, how a certain McCartney met a certain Epstein years before 1957

Reunion Facts

The Beatles continued meeting infrequently - usually in pairs – well after 1970 – here’re the important meetings summarised, including the place they formally broke-up the band by signatory! (hint: it was in Florida)

Sex

Song titles and situations…

Beatle Firsts

The range of their innovation and experimentation. Useful when encountering know-nothings trying too hard to disregard their contribution (just to be trendy/different normally…shame to rain on their parade)

Alternate names to albums and songs

An extremely comprehensive list of all the original and differing
names The Beatles used from ‘Four Sides to the Circle’ to
‘Granny Smith’ to ‘A Doll’s House’ to ‘Quatre garcons dans le
vent’………

Just think…..myths and rumours dispelled (like how George actually got that black eye, the truth about the source of their haircuts, John Lennon’s five - that’s right, five - half-siblings)…. no more wading through some old hack’s description of Liverpool in the 1950’s (cue seagulls and sailors) – at last an eminently readable book, from cover-to-cover, that you can use to easily strike up conversations or discuss with like-minded friends.

(Important note: the author is a great respecter of the Beatles and is entirely aware of the difference between fascinating information and salacious made-up nonsense. This e-book entertains but acknowledges professional standards of courtesy and respect for the subject, and due dilligence has been done with the research).
