First published in 1969, this reissued collection of illustrated lyrics for 200 Beatles songs will be a treasure for any fan of the Fab Four. Editor and Beatle-buddy Alan Aldridge states in his introduction to the original edition: "What I have tried to do is present a book [that] is as entertaining to the eye and the imagination as a Beatles album is to the ear." Indeed, he more than succeeds, creating a lavish pageant of art and music that embraces not only the Beatles but also the psychedelic spirit of the entire era.
In 320 photos and illustrations, renowned artists offer their interpretations of various songs. "Help" is visualized by Ronald Searle; "Fixing a Hole," by Tomi Ungerer; "Glass Onion," by Peter Max; "I'm So Tired," by David Hockney; and "Oh, Darling," by Ralph Steadman. Aldridge also contributes his own trippy illustrations, which reflect the bold, bulbous, cartoons-on-acid style of 1960s poster art. This rich compilation also has brief quotes from the Beatles explaining the origins of the themes and lyrics of certain songs. For example, despite the buzz that "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is about LSD, according to Paul, "What happened was that John's son Julian did a drawing at school and brought it home, and he has a schoolmate named Lucy, and John said, 'What's that?' and he said 'Lucy in the sky with diamonds.'" Band members also share their thoughts on superstardom, including this now weighty comment from John: "I don't intend to be a performing flea anymore. I was the dreamweaver, but although I'll be around I don't intend to be running at 20,000 miles an hour trying to prove myself. I don't want to die at 40." It can't bring them back, but The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics can take you on a long and winding road of nostalgia. --Brangien Davis -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

is proportional to the music that you make. (! ) One word: fabuloso. If you ever wondered what, say is behind "polythene pam" or had an urge to sing along with john on "i am the walrus" or "happiness is a warm gun", this'll be a fun collection. The art is great...Dr Roberts, por ehemplay, is indeed a sight. And who wouldn't be awaken by the scene in "Good Morning"? Be forwarned that most of these pics and scenarios were done in the 60's and they have that 60's pop-art flair to 'em... I easily can see someone doing the same kinda treatment for Elton John's or Pete Townsend's or TAFKAprince's catalog. One could only imagine the graphics for Tafkap's "billie jean b*" or "lady cab driver...."
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is utterly inspiring. The music of the Beatles is legendary, and the way the artists re-create the songs into art is visionary and fascinating. Plus, it's not bad having the lyrics handy, too. A must-have for all Beatlemaniacs!

it's a good book to get the lyrics, but it is filled with too many weird pictures. If they were pictures of the band, I wouldn't mind, but must are just stupid and add nothing to... Lesen Sie weiter...

Remember, it was first published in 1969.
I remember getting these books in 1969 and being completely blown away by the concept of illustrating lyrics. This is MTV before video skewed our artistic vision. Lesen Sie weiter...

For the Beatlemaniac who has all their books...
No reviews, no bios, just great lyrics and good art. This book was originally published during the late 60s, and so the art reflects the time. Lesen Sie weiter...
