The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics
The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics | Alan Aldridge
9 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
The Beatles: Illustrated Lyrics is the only major collection of illustrated The Beatles lyrics available. Originally published in 1969, this book has become a symbol of an era, a must-have for Beatles fans and a brilliant tribute to the band that changed a generation. Quotes from John, Paul, George and Ringo provide candid, witty, insightful commentary on the songs and their origins. Clarification of controversial lyrics is offered by the only true authorities, The Beatles themselves. All the famous songs are included from Cant Buy Me Love and A Hard Days Night to Rocky Raccoon, Revolver and Yellow Submarine. Lavish full colour illustrations by internationally famous artists and specially commissioned photographs reflect the psychedelic world The Beatles lived in and the whole generation and pop culture they influenced.

"The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics" is one of my favourite art books - a stunning variety of visual interpretations of their songs, together with John's, Paul's and George's lyrics, and snippets of interviews. The perfect companion to what is, I think, my favourite Fab Four compilation album, "The Beatles Ballads".

Turn off your mind relax and float down-stream,
it is not dying, it is not dying,
lay down all thought surrender to the void
it is shining, it is shining.

1. The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics - beautiful artwork next to their most amazing lyrics
2. I guess Paul McCartney, though I like a lot of other bands/singers just as much.
3. Jim McGuin in a small melodrama theatre. Acoustics were fabulous, and he prefaced each song with a story.
4. "American Tune" by Paul Simon

SleepyDragon Second best concert was two separate TMBG concerts I went to years ago. You haven't lived until you have sung Particle Man with 2k strangers. My last concert was Arcade Fire a couple years ago, and that was also awesome. 7y

My daughter urgently needed to know the lyrics to Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Thanks to this essential second-hand purchase I had her covered.
