The Beatles Come to America by M Goldsmith
When the Beatles touched down in New York on February 7, 1964 for their first visit to America, they brought with them a sound that hadn't been heard before. This book examines how and why the Beatles struck such a lasting chord.
"..written in an easy and pleasant style...a useful addition to the collection of the avid Beatles fan." (Beatles- Unlimited magazine, May/June 2004) "... fascinating ... quotations from those fusty Americans..." (New Statesman, 12th April 2004) "...a breezily intelligent biography...perhaps the first serious Beatles history to have a truly happy ending." (Entertainment Weekly, February 6, 2004) "...magic blows through the book, past delightfully obscure anecdotes and insightful reflection..." (Bookpage, February 2004) "...the book does offer many fascinating details." (Publishers Weekly, January 19, 2004)
