The Beatles in America, by Spencer Leigh
€10.00

Quay Books
Early in 1964, with Beatlemania raging in the UK, the Beatles topped the US charts with ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand,’ and became a sensation on American TV when they appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show.
In April 1964, they held all Top Five positions on the Billboard Hot 100 and were playing such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, and Shea Stadium.
With exclusive interviews with fellow musicians, promoters, and audience members, together with rare photographs and memorabilia, The Beatles In America is the definitive, fully illustrated account of their concerts, the controversies, and of how the country dominated their lives in so many ways - written by one of the acknowledged experts on the Fab Four, Liverpool's own Spencer Leigh.
The book covers all the group's North American appearances/tours in detail: their first two live American appearances in 1964, the first full North American tour of August and September, 1964; the second, short tour of 1965; and the third, 13-date tour of August and September, 1966 - with maps showing the cities they played on each tour.
The Beatles In America includes exclusive and previously unpublished interviews with key figures of the era, such as Roy Orbison, Cynthia Lennon, Bill Wyman, Roger McGuinn, Pete Best, Davy Jones and Peter Tork (of the Monkees), Joan Baez, and Pete Seeger.
