Author Rob Sheffield is an editor at Rolling Stones, a music critic and a Beatles fan. Sheffield’s parents were amused, and slightly confused, about the obsession that he, and his sisters, had for the Beatles. Didn’t they know that this band had split up? In fact, Sheffield’s real argument, in this extremely personal love letter to the band, is that the fact the band split up made no difference at all to how people felt about them. I first came to the Beatles in the Seventies, via Wings, and that was the decade in which the ex-Beatles themselves were pretty disgruntled about people raking up the never ending stories of reunions. However, as it now clear, every era claims the Beatles as their own discovery. They sit, virtually unchallenged, as the ‘Greatest Group of all Time’ and look set to remain there.When the Beatles broke up, even they thought there was a time limit to their success. The more they raged about not looking backwards, became embroiled in lawsuits and personal arguments, writing songs that were definitely about each other, others that were probably about each other and unable to cut those ties (John Lennon was always a Beatle, throughout his entire life), the more the public simply refused to allow them not to be Beatles anymore. If the four ex-members of the band refused to play the game and get back together, they would simply invent new ways to enjoy being fans – enter tribute bands, movies about them, plays, Beatles conventions, endless podcasts, even ‘Beatles historians’ such as Mark Lewisohn, to really treat the Fabs as seriously as we feel they should be treated…Rob Sheffield muses about what the Beatles mean to him, and to so many of us, in this book. Yes, it is opinionated and that means that you will not agree with everything he writes. I am sure he would not expect us to. Still, he says a lot that you may well agree with and lots that you can get either enthusiastic, or enraged, about. He snipes a little at Paul, but, sadly, I feel that only time will show how there is, literally, nobody who is as multi-talented and central to the Beatles as Paul was. If George and Ringo were, in George’s only half-joking words, the ‘economy Beatles’ then it was John and Paul who led the way and created the bulk of the music that much of the world still sings. Whatever my doubts about some of Sheffield’s views, I really did enjoy this book and I applaud him for writing something beyond the usual biography. For those of us to whom the Beatles are not only important, but so important that we need to consider every aspect of their career in mind-numbing detail, this is a book you should probably read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Arrived on time and in good condition. *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 July 2023* It's a book that I wanted; and I'm thrilled to have been able to source it.
