{"product_id":"book-acsp","title":"The Beatles","description":"Even before the Beatles hit the big time, a myth was created. This version of the Beatles legend smoothed the rough edges and filled in the fault lines, and for more than forty years this manicured version of the Beatles story has sustained as truth -- until now. \u003cp\u003eThe product of almost a decade of research, hundreds of unprecedented interviews, and the discovery of scores of never-before-revealed documents, Bob Spitz's \u003ci\u003eThe Beatles\u003c\/i\u003e is the biography fans have been waiting for. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNever before has a biography of musicians been so immersive and textured. We are there in the McCartney living room when Paul and John learn to write songs together; backstage the night Ringo takes over on drums; in seedy German strip clubs where George lies about his age so the band can perform; and at the \u003ci\u003eEd Sullivan Show\u003c\/i\u003e as America discovers the joy and the madness. From Shea to San Francisco, through the London night, on to India, through marmalade skies, across the universe—all the way to a rooftop concert and one last moment of laughter and music. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is all here, the highs and the lows, the love and the rivalry, the drugs, the tears, the thrill, the magic never again to be repeated. Bob Spitz's masterpiece is, at long last, the biography the Beatles deserve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49348333470000,"sku":"BDacsp","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/218977-acsp-Square.jpg?v=1734221209","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-acsp","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
