[The BEATLES] HUNTER DAVIES.
'The Authorised Biography'.
London, William Heinemann, 1968
FIRST EDITION, FIRST IMPRESSION, with photographic plates. Purple cloth in glossy psychedelic jacket.. Usual edge spotting.
British author Hunter Davies (born 1936) was the Beatles' only authorized biographer and ‘The Beatles’ is a portrait of the group at the peak of their creative powers; granted extraordinary access to the band, Davies was at Abbey Road studios for many of the Sgt. Pepper recordings and sat in on several Lennon-McCartney song writing sessions; he also spent many hours documenting, for the first time, the individual Beatles’ own recollections. Released in 1968, when the band’s future still seemed limitless, the book was an engaging and surprisingly honest first-hand account. Although he has added illuminating postscripts to subsequent editions, Davies never ‘finished’ the book, sparing readers the excruciating details of the Beatles’ disintegration. It remains the most enjoyable of all Beatle biographies, and the core from which all others have been constructed.
