{"product_id":"book-h9il","title":"Love and Let Die","description":"The Beatles are the biggest band in the history of pop music. James Bond is the single most successful movie character of all time. They are also twins. \u003ci\u003eDr No\u003c\/i\u003e, the first Bond film, and \u003ci\u003eLove Me Do\u003c\/i\u003e, the first Beatles record, were both released on the same day: Friday, October 5, 1962. Most countries can only dream of a cultural export becoming a worldwide phenomenon on this scale. For Britain to produce two iconic successes on this level, on the same windy October afternoon, is unprecedented.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBond and the Beatles\u003c\/i\u003e present us with opposing values, visions of the British culture, and ideas about sexual identity. \u003ci\u003eLove and Let Die\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a clash between working class liberation and establishment control, and how it exploded on the global stage. It explains why James Bond hated the Beatles, why Paul McCartney wanted to be Bond, and why it was Ringo who won the heart of a Bond Girl in the end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTold over a period of sixty dramatic years, this is an account of how two outsized cultural phenomena continue to define American aspirations, fantasies, and our ideas about ourselves. Looking at these two touchstones in this new context will forever change how you see the Beatles, the James Bond films, and six decades of cross-Atlantic popular culture.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49355519099184,"sku":"BDh9il","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49355519131952,"sku":"ZEh9il","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49355519164720,"sku":"ZMh9il","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/h9il-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780244290","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-h9il","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
