A unique combination of musical analysis and cultural history, Tell Me Why stands alone among Beatles books with its single-minded focus on the most important aspect of the band: its music. Riley offers a new, deeper understanding of the Beatles by closely considering each song and album they recorded in an exploration as rigorous as it is soulful. He tirelessly sifts through the Beatles discography, making clear that the legendary four were more than mere teen idols: They were brilliant innovators who mastered an extremely detailed art. Since the first publication of Tell Me Why in 1988, much new primary source material has appeared -- Paul McCartney's authorized biography, the Anthology CDs and videos, the complete Parlophone-sequenced albums on CD, the Live at the BBCsessions, and the global smash 1. Riley incorporates all the new material in an update that makes this a crucial book for Beatles fans.

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. First Da Capo Press Edition 2002, 1st printing. 457pp. Revised & Updated. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "When TELL ME WHY first appeared in 1988, the Beatles' career appeared to be a closed subject. The story was over: the solo careers were grandiose apologies to expired greatness and Lennon's death precluded any real reunion talk. But several major, Beatle-driven developments have since blown their story apart, changed its meanings, and altered the band's glow for future generations.--from the Epilogue [] Album by album, song by song, TELL ME WHY gives a new, deeper understanding of the Beatles by focusing on what's most important: the music. This completely revised and updated edition provides a comprehensive study of the Beatles' musical legacy--from their first releases in the early sixties to the material, both written and recorded, that's been released just in the last decade. In an extensive new epilogue, Tim Riley dissects the Anthology CDs and videos, the Live at the BBC sessions, and the global smash 1, and also reflects on both Paul McCartney's biography Many Years from Now and the death of George Harrison. [] A rigorous and soulful exploration of the entire Beatles catalogue, TELL ME WHY makes it clear that the legendary four were more than mere teen idols--they were brilliant musical innovators." [publisher copy] "Perhaps the first serious analysis of the Beatles' work and its impact on popular music, TELL ME WHY is meticulous in its purpose and long overdue. . . Of the hundreds of books written about the Beatles, none bring the musical knowledge and the familiarity with the period that Riley offers here."--Cleveland Plain Dealer. "The best piece of writing about popular music, from someone knowledgeable about music, that I've read."--Ron Rosenbaum, New York Observer. Near-pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable. Artikel-Nr. RUB3728
