From the back of the dust jacket:

A career-long professional writer and PR consultant, Tony Barrow was The Beatles' Press Officer between 1962 when they issued their first single Love Me Do, and 1968 when they set up their own managememt company, Apple Corps, in the wake of manager Brian Epstein's death.

Barrow coined The Beatles' nickname of the Fab Four, wrote the sleeve notes for a number of the group's album covers, set up their huge international press conferences, selected ther media interviews and fixed up their photo shoots at home and abroad during the touring years, and finally collaborated with Paul McCartney in 1967 to compile the strip-cartoon story booklet that came with The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour recordings. He is one of a tiny handful of surviving eyewitnesses able to write a first-hand account of life within The Beatles' close-knit entourage and the only remaining professional writer from that circle.

Few were closer to The Beatles than Tony Barrow, and this is not merely a biography of the Fab Four; but a unique and vividly personal memoir by a Liverpool-born author who new John, Paul, George and Ringo as friends throughout the height of their fame.

Price: £16.99.
