A session-by-session record of the Beatles’ Abbey Road years

Organized as a diary-format history, Mark Lewisohn’s book traces the Beatles’ recording sessions from 1962 to 1970 through EMI Records’ official account. Its documentary approach is supported by studio records and interviews with recording personnel, with reproductions of items such as recording sheets, tape boxes, sleeve drafts, memos and contracts. More than 350 photographs and illustrations add visual material to the archival record. The emphasis is on how the recordings were documented and the materials surrounding their creation, making this a reference-oriented account of the band’s studio work.
