BEATLES CONFIDENTIAL
12 Years Later And You STILL Don't Know!
This is a collection — a hodge-podge, admittedly — of photos, of stories (culled from reminiscences of some who were there) about Liverpool and Hamburg pre-'64, and of facts and opinions on the women who had more to do with the Beatles than is probably realized; essentially, this is a fan's assemblage of little-seen and little-heard things about the most heard-about group in the history of music.
1959 British suburban divided highways — called "dual carriageways" — are possibly the world's most boring streets. There's none of that piquant infestation of neon which seems so inescapable in America, no street cruising, not too many intersections. Just mile after mile of neat, well-metalled roadway, edged with endless brownbrick lower-middle-class / middle-class semi-detached houses which are still, for several obscure reasons, considered desirable residences in this still-United Kingdom of 1959.
