Aprašymas

Follow in the footsteps of the band that changed the world. Liverpool was more than just The Beatles' childhood home. The city was their ongoing inspiration, shaping their personalities, their sense of humour and their music. In this extensively-researched guidebook, Liverpool-based journalist Laura Davis draws on 25 years of experience to chart the band's story across the streets of her home city. Designed for both the dedicated pilgrim and the armchair fan, it traverses the full arc of The Beatles' story, from the sweat-drenched stages of the Merseybeat era to the parks where they played as boys - and even the secret beach where a young John Lennon is said to have spotted a whale. Inside, you will find: The stories behind their childhood homes, schools and the places they hung out as boys. The legendary Merseybeat venues where they built their sound, including The Cavern, The Casbah, the Jacaranda and the Blue Angel. The locations that inspired their lyrics such as the barber's shop on Penny Lane and Eleanor Rigby's grave. Rare insights into lesser-known sights, from the Cotton Exchange where Paul's dad worked to the church where George "lost" religion. Profiles of the figures who influenced the legend, from Brian Epstein to Lord Woodbine. A guide to Liverpool's current Beatles exhibits and art works. With a foreword by Rod Davis of The Quarrymen, The Beatles Lovers Guide to Liverpool is your backstage pass to the city that created the greatest band of all time.
