From Amazon:

The most anticipated book in more than a decade by the legendary band, The Beatles: Get Back is the official account of the creation of their final album, Let It Be, told in The Beatles’ own words, illustrated with hundreds of previously unpublished images, including photos by Ethan A. Russell & Linda McCartney. Half a century after the 1970 Let It Be album and film, this milestone book coincides with the global release of Peter Jackson’s documentary feature film, The Beatles: Get Back.

The book opens in January 1969, the beginning of The Beatles’ last year as a band. The BEATLES (The White Album) is at number one in the charts & the foursome gather in London for a new project. Over 21 days, first at Twickenham Film Studios & then at their own brand-new Apple Studios, with cameras & tape recorders documenting every day’s work & conversations, the band rehearse a huge number of songs, culminating in their final concert, which famously takes place on the rooftop of their own office building, bringing central London to a halt.

The Beatles: Get Back tells the story of those sessions through transcripts of the band’s candid conversations. Drawing on over 120 hours of sound recordings, leading music writer John Harris edits the richly captivating text to give us a fly-on-the-wall experience of being there in the studios. These sessions come vividly to life through hundreds of unpublished, extraordinary images by two photographers who had special access to their sessions ― Ethan A. Russell & Linda Eastman (who married Paul McCartney two months later). Also included are many unseen high-resolution film-frames, selected from the 55 hours of restored footage from which Peter Jackson’s documentary is also drawn.

JPGR&B SUBS 11th Sep 2020		From Nicholas Callaway, Callaway Arts & Entertainment, early January 2020 (courtesy of Beatles fan John Bezzini): The Beatles Get Back is the authorized story of the making of the Let It Be album and the Beatles' break-up, told through exclusive photographs, transcripts of the recording sessions, and an essay by Hanif Kureishi. The book will be the companion to the film directed by Peter Jackson, both released next fall (exact date to be announced).



JPGR&B SUBS 4th Jan 2024		A strange one this. It appeared on the market in the USA in early January 2024. Unknown publisher (unless someone out there has a copy!) and handbound in ivory bonded leather. Totally inaccurate depiction of the Savile Row building in the foreground and totally inaccurate buildings in the background which appear to be US-inspired skyscrapers. Talk about artistic licence!
