Critical Reviews

Excellent... recounts all the available data from the Fabs' shirt-sleeved days and chain-smoking nights inside the celebrated EMI Studios. The facts are embellished with much photographic material and an informed narrative that casts a fascinating light upon the sessions.--Q Magazine, -

A compelling journey deep into the heart of Abbey Road.
An outstanding reference book. The volume reveals scores of previously undocumented private moments.--Rolling Stone, -
