the
BeaTles

The Beatles are the first band I ever remember listening to. I was around 3 years old when I started obsessively listening to the 1962-1966 compilation known as the Red Album – the only Beatles album we had at home. We also had a John Lennon compilation album I have a lot of fondness for.
On this page, you will find information as well as my own thoughts, experiences and opinions on various Beatles-related stuff. I am always discovering new things, so this page is always a work in progress. Though the band was only active for a decade, there's a lifetime of material to enjoy.

Books about The Beatles

Title: One Two Three Four: The Beatles in Time
Published: 10 April 2020
Author: Craig Brown
About the book: This book talks about the lives and careers of The Beatles from start to finish, with lots of little-known stories added in. The author also dives into fandom culture at the time, as well as just 1960s society and the influence of The Beatles in general. The author also narrates his own Beatles tourism in Liverpool.
My thoughts: This was a really fun read and I learnt a lot! He talks a lot about the broader cultural impact of The Beatles in the 60s which was really interesting. I especially loved learning about how The Beatles challenged gender norms at the time, which I had never thought about before – all those interviewers joking about them needing a haircut suddenly made a lot more sense when I realised just how gender non-conforming their haircuts were considered at the time.
