Foreword by Rob Sheffield
Filled with stunning full-color infographics, a unique, album-by-album visual history of the evolution of the Beatles that examines how their style, their sound, their instruments, their songs, their tours, and the world they inhabited transformed over the course of a decade.

Combining data, colorful artwork, interactive charts, graphs, and timelines, Visualizing the Beatles is a fresh and imaginative look at the world’s most popular band. Meticulously examining the songs on every Beatles’ album from Please Please Me to Let It Be, UK-based graphic artists John Pring and Rob Thomas deconstruct:

  • lyrical content
  • songwriting credits
  • inspiration for the songs
  • instruments used
  • cover designs
  • chart position
  • and more . . . .

They also break down the success of Beatles’ singles across the world, their tour dates, venues, and cities, their hairstyles, fashion choices and favorite guitars, and a wealth of other Beatles’ minutiae. Visualizing the Beatles also includes illustrations involving the conspiracy theories of the "Paul is dead" hoax as well as A-to-Z lists of every artist or performer who has ever covered a Beatles’ song.

Comprehensive, entertaining, and packed with fun facts, Visualizing the Beatles is a wonderful introduction for new fans and a must-have for devotees, offering a new way to think about this extraordinary band whose influence continues to shape music.

A WHOLE NEW WAY OF LOOKING AT THE BEATLES

From the very beginning, the Beatles rocked the world.  Their sound, their look, their songwriting, their live performances . . . everything they touched became part of their lore—part of the story of the greatest pop band in the history of the world.  And while the story of the lads from Liverpool might now feel familiar, in Visualizing the Beatles John Pring and Rob Thomas capture their music and magic in a unique and imaginative way, driven by stunning graphics. 

In-demand graphic artists—with corporate clients like Google, Yahoo!, and Discover—and lifelong students of the Beatles, John Pring and Rob Thomas deliver a full-color, data-driven collection of infographics, maps, charts, and graphs that tell the story of this beloved band, album by album.  With information on what instruments were used, who wrote what songs, the inspiration behind many of the Beatles’ most iconic songs, and timelines that place their pivotal moments in the context of history and popular culture, Visualizing the Beatles is a treat for both devoted fans and a primer for new ones.

A beautiful and captivating combination of data and artwork, Visualizing the Beatles is a comprehensive history delivered in a truly fresh way.
