## Description

"This compulsively readable personal history . . . gathers the recollections of fans, writers, musicians, and artists" about the enduring impact of The Beatles ( Publishers Weekly ). The arrival of the Beatles in America was an unforgettable cultural touchstone. Through the voices of those who witnessed it or were swept up in it indirectly, The Beatles Are Here! explores the emotional impact—some might call it hysteria—of the Fab Four's February 1964 dramatic landing on our shores. Contributors, including Lisa See, Gay Talese, Renée Fleming, Roy Blount, Jr., Greil Marcus, and many others, describe in essays and interviews how they were inspired by the Beatles. This intimate and entertaining collection arose from writer Penelope Rowlands's own Beatlemaniac phase: she was one of the screaming girls captured in an iconic photograph that has since been published around the world—and is displayed on the cover of this book. The stories of these girls, who found each other again almost fifty years later, are part of this volume as well. The Beatles Are Here! gets to the heart of why, half a century later, the Beatles still matter to us so deeply.

Review: Beatiemania beautifully captured in words of people who were there - Whether you want to recall for yourself, what Beatlemania was like or you’re a Beatle fan who missed the era and want to learn more about it, this is a perfect book for you! The editor collected these well written essays from a variety of people recounting their experiences, including her own - she is one of the girls holding the banner on the photo. The Beatlemania era was a unique moment in time, filled with exuberance and optimism. And exciting new music, wit and style! Relive it in the vivid words of those who were there!
Review: Please please me. - I am an absorber of oral history. I've read at least one about the Beatles and their first visit to the U.S.. This book inspired me to talk about the Beatles launch on all of us in 1964. I was 3. They is a vague memory of fighting over whether I could watch Beatles cartoons and having a " Soapy" of George I took with me into the bath. All my memories are black and white. The Beatles were, for me, before my mother died. Things became less happy. Lovely memories. If u want to have a feel of what back then was like, please, please read this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reflections on "The Beatles Are Here"
*by M***D on April 3, 2015*

This is an interesting compilation of anecdotes addressing the arrival of the Beatles....how they changed our culture, our styles, and the direction that music was going. I could relate to each of the stories since I was a teenager at the same time. There are some very interesting stories which delve into the various members of the band....some of the authors even got to know the band members personally. Most of the sketches are light and capricious while some were more analytical, giving insight into some of their albums, movies, and single recordings. An example that comes to mind was that their producer left both "Penny Lane" and " Strawberry Fields" off of the Sgt. Peppers album because he wanted to market them as a double A -side recording on a 45 rpm. It was interesting to hear them voice their opinions as to which Beatle was their favorite....something that we all probably did. I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves the Beatles and their music.
