It's an album-by-album, track-by-track run down of every Beatles song on record and includes The Beatles Live At the BBC album, various compilations and the three best-selling Anthology sets released in 1995 and the 1 compilation, the Love medley CD and the re-mastered back catalogue albums.
There was rich praise for the original edition of The Beatles Stories Behind The Songs Book, including Steve Matteo in The Music Paper describing it as `One of the most readable and illuminating books ever written about The Beatles`. In his autobiography, Many Years From Now, even Paul McCartney acknowledged Steve Turner`s work. Who was `just seventeen` and made Paul`s heart go `boom`? Was there really an Eleanor Rigby? Steve Turner shatters many well-worn myths and adds a new dimension to the Fab Four`s rich legacy by investigating the events immortalised in The Beatles` music and now occupying a special niche in popular culture`s collective imagination.
