Summary

The Beatles A Hard Day's Night & More covers the Beatles first film and its related soundtrack albums from the British, American and Canadian perspectives. And, as the title implies, there is much more. The book also covers the records released from the Beatles 1961 Hamburg recordings, as well as the other singles and albums released from February through October of 1964. The book also contains chapters on the EMI recording sessions for the singles and albums, and the album covers. And, like the other books in the Beatles Album Series, the book contains chapters on the news, music and films of the era to place the Beatles debut film and its related records in their proper context. And, of course, fan recollections of seeing the film A Hard Day's Night and listening to its music. The Beatles A Hard Day's Night & More, together with its companion book The Beatles Please Please Me to With The Beatles, provide the full story of the records and events that fueled and maintained the first phase of Beatlemania. It is a 9" x 9" hardcover book to match the other books in Bruce Spizer' s Beatles Album Series. It is 272 pages long and contains 315 color and 15 original B&W images.
