Over the past four-plus decades, The Beatles contributions and impact on the music world, pop culture and society have been immeasurable. In “The Beatles Digest, 2nd Edition,” the editors and publishers of Goldmine and Discoveries magazines have compiled the most compelling Beatles stories that have appeared in the pages of the two magazines. Fans are treated to interviews, analysis, essays, untold stories and a comprehensive records price guide.
The book features updated content and more than 200 vintage photos covering The Beatles throughout the relatively short span of their group career and even longer solo careers. Yoko Ono, Linda McCartney, Wings and George Martin are also covered extensively, including touching remembrances of the late John Lennon, George Harrison and Linda McCartney.
Fans will experience glimpses into The Beatles rocky start, their rise to stardom, their break-up, subsequent solo careers, musical collaborations and their personal triumphs and tragedies. To help determine the impact they made on the charts, the editors combine nearly 40 years of Billboard charts into one calendar year, listing day-by-day each song that was on the charts.  In the end, fans will see a record on the charts for 360 out of 366 possible days, including number 1 records for 122 days out of the year.
For fans collecting Beatles’ records, the price guide chapter spans more than 50 pages, pricing records in up to three conditions while listing the record’s number, title and special notes. Additional resources include contacts for fan clubs and web sites on The Beatles, their albums and memorabilia.
“The Beatles Digest, 2nd Edition” can be purchased from major bookstores (ISBN 0-87349-512-8) or directly from the publisher, Krause Publications, at (800) 258-0929.
