Long and Winding Road: The Greatest Beatles Stories Ever Told Kindle Edition

The Beatles were the greatest rock band of all time. And their influence spread far beyond music, influencing the culture and politics of the sixties in a profound way.

In Long and Winding Road, editor Luis Miguel curates the very best writing about the Beatles, from the mysterious death of original Beatle Stuart Sutcliffe to the curious tale of the dentist who is trying to clone John Lennon from a tooth.

This collection brings together writing from all four Beatles, including Paul McCartney's first-person account of an early gig where the Beatles played for Janice the Stripper in a Liverpool club. We also hear from contemporary music critics and fans who were there for some of the most amazing Beatles moments, such as their Ed Sullivan Show appearance.

Long and Winding Road is a must read for Beatles fans, music fans, and anyone curious about how four lads from Liverpool defined the sixties and changed the world.

Featuring writing by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Bill Harry, Dave Bidini, Joe Rodgers, Harry Castleman, Walter J. Podrazik, Ron Oberman, Jason Brown and many more!

This is not a "must read" but does have some rare insights into a very historical and well documented legacy. Come at it like an article you read in the doctor's waiting room, and you'll come away pleasantly surprised.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fab Read for anyone vaguely interested in The Beatles or The 1960s
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2016
Louis Miguel has done a great job of gathering, editing and introducing these 36 stories. They are all in the original authors’ words, so you get insights and perspectives you wouldn’t have got, had it been written in one voice. There are pieces by the Fabs themselves and articles drawn from a wide variety of sources. Though they are largely chronological, the stories could be read in any order. Miguel gives a good, contextual introduction and a detailed timeline from Beatle Births to the present.

The stories are informative, entertaining and welcoming to the general reader as well as the devotee. They explore the people, the personalities and the pressures and not everyone comes out glowing. George, my favourite Beatle, for example. You find out about Beatles/Apple staff and how they were treated, new angles on Lennon’s death, religion, drugs, marriage, friendship, infidelity and, bizarrely, the dentist who wants to clone John Lennon from a tooth.

A Fab book, to be read one by one or – if you’re a glutton like me – all in one sitting.

Far from the greatest stories ever but it was interesting. As a Beatle fan i didn't really learn anything New. I was thinking it would be fun stories from touring days. Instead just a collection of articles

Great read! Honestly speaking here I personally am not a huge Beatles fan, but reading this book has really made me understand why there are so many who are. No doubt those who are true fans will absolutely connect on so many levels with this book, it really is a great journey to go through with the author every single time you pick this book up. On that note I will not spoil anything for you guys, please enjoy!
