The Lost Beatles Interviews

by Geoffrey Giuliano, Timothy Leary, Vrnda Devi

In this revealing book, Fab Four authority Geoffrey Giuliano has assembled a rare collection of the wild and uninhibited interviews the Beatles dared to give to astounded journalists throughout their controversial careers. Giuliano includes intimate conversations with Eric Clapton, Yoko Ono, Donovan, Madonna, and many others who knew and worked with the Beatles. Here, for the first time, the Beatles speak on such previously taboo subjects as drugs, religion and mysticism, Beatlemania, the deep affection that bonded them and the fiery conflicts that eventually tore them apart, politics, family life, the death of Brian Epstein, the sixties revolution, fame, money, the Yoko Ono controversy, their energetic love lives, the tragic murder of John Lennon and, of course, their timeless music.

us beatles are real cheeky monkeys

[Rebekah · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first bit was the Beatles being funny in interviews, the second bit was the Beatles talking about John Lennon's "bigger than Jesus quote," the third but was interviews from people who had dirty laundry to air (notably: the Yoko bashing in an interview hosted by Shirley Solomon and the McCartney bashing in an interview with Jo Jo Laine), and the fourth bit was a bizarre afterword in which the Beatles were made out to be messengers from God. Strange collection, but entertaining.

I really enjoyed this. Ive read a lot of 'beatles books', but this one was nice because you really get a feel for the way they interracted with each other. Due to the way the book is pretty much just formatted into interviews.

One of my favourite Beatles books.

[Dan Richter · Rating 2 out of 5]

Hauptsächlich Interviews *über* die Beatles von Personen, die ein Hühnchen mit den Mitgliedern der Band zu rupfen hatten. Viel schmutzige Wäsche. Wenig Erhellendes.
