Every album and every song ever released by the Beatles - from "Please Please Me" (U.S. 1963) to "The Long and Winding Road" (U.S. 1970) - is dissected, discussed, and analyzed by two music historians in this lively, fully illustrated work.
All the Songs delves deep into the history and origins of the Beatles and their music. This first-of-its-kind book draws upon decades of research, as music historians Margotin and Guesdon recount the circumstances that led to the composition of every song, the recording process, and the instruments used.
All The Songs The Story Behind Every Beatles Release edition by Philippe Margotin JeanMichel Guesdon Arts Photography eBooks
What I mean is, that this massive (heavy!) book takes the "greatest bits of info" from the Lewisohn, Babiuk, Ryan/Kehew books, as well as previously published interviews by the Beatles and associates, recording anomalies (readily available on several internet sites) and puts them together under one cover (primary songwriter, instrument/vocal credit, dates/mixing/studio location and personnel, specific instruments used, the Anthology series audio material and additional background info). The authors DO give credit to these various sources whenever necessary and present it in a well-organized format. You will not see photos of the EMI recording boxes nor photos of every single instrument used, however there is certainly enough visual material to make the book a valuable tool covering the studio career of the Beatles. I also give them credit for the using "?" when information has not been 100% verified (i.e. who actually played the 12-string part on "Every Little Thing"). I appreciate this "when in doubt..." approach.I'd really give this book 4-1/2 stars, but not 5, due to the fact that the previously published books (mentioned above) contained much of this info. What I WILL say, is that this will now by my main go-to source for the the Beatles studio session information. It also stands on its own and is well-written. It's now a matter of justifying the price, but I have no regrets purchasing this book.

All The Songs The Story Behind Every Beatles Release edition by Philippe Margotin JeanMichel Guesdon Arts Photography eBooks Reviews
My husband is a huge Beatles' fan. This book was a gift for him, so I'm handing him the mike. Stephen, it's all yours....
The stories are brief, but invariably interesting. They draw from all phases of the Beatles' lives, so they're not just dry information, but also reflection. The photos are unusual, and these days it's hard to find unusual photos of the Beatles. I've been enjoying every word and every photo, and I own dozens of Beatles' books. Beatles 4 ever!
Such a great book! I bought this for my son, who is becoming a huge Beatles fan and wants to know everything about every song. This is the book for it! It's organized by album, with an overall intro about the album and then an entry for each song with all the details like who played what, how many takes, where and when recorded, etc, then background info, production info, and technical details, plus usually some fun facts. I'm sure there are more in-depth books out there, but this one is fantastic as an easy reference for literally every song. We are loving it.
Not much narrative but very fun read if you can listen to the songs as the author recounts the development of the song and what part each of the four members played. Not much in the way of explanation of any hidden meaning to any of the songs. One gets the feeling that the Beatles were very talented in pop songs not very deep in the lyrical meanings compared with Bob Dylan or others in the folk music genre.
Unbelievable book. I absolutely dug this one. Every song, every recording original compositions and covers are detailed here and every one has a for Beatles fanatic side note included. There are many footnotes that refer to where the information came from . It has sparked my interest and I'm finding myself ordering some of the books it uses as references. I love the fact that it gets most of the information from the Beatles themselves. Its fun to see that they often have conflicting recollections but the author has done his part to present the most likely here due to extensive cross referencing. A absolute must fot
I bought this for a gift for someone else, but couldn't help but look through it before I gifted it. The photos are great. Many I have never seen before. It's interesting to have as a resource for knowing what was behind the scenes for each song. So interesting to try to get into their heads and see what the inspiration for a song was and who wrote it and why. For some songs there was a lot of info and others not as much, but all in all there is so much info here. Who cares if there is a few bits and pieces here and there which aren't 100% accurate. (as reported by other reviewers) There is so much here that this can hardly matter much at all. Just enjoy the pictures and the stories!
I am a lifelong Beatles fan and learned so much from reading this book.
All the Songs includes a detailed listing of many songs from the latter years of the Beatles. Each chapter breaks down the individual songs on their respective albums. We're given recording dates, producers, which musicians were present and what instruments they played, where the ideas for the songs came from, and interestingly, which Beatle did not participate.
Previously I wasn't aware that Alan Parsons was involved with the Beatles at all. This was an entertaining journey down memory lane. I enjoyed this book very much and recommend it to any Beatle fan.
Holy moly! This is 670+ pages of Beatles goodness!
First note do not expect lyrics to the songs. This book does not contain them. I would guess there are probably complex copyright issues with the lyrics and rather than the publisher dealing with tedious and expensive legal spelunking, they opted to omit. Instead just google the lyrics - they are easily found online. Or many Beatles album jackets have the lyrics (I have all the albums on original vinyl, so many have the lyrics - not sure about CDs and recent releases).
The book does contain hundreds of amazing photos - awesome for fans! There are also oodles of trivia tidbits!
Each song has a page (or more) devoted to it - basically the story behind the song - why they wrote it, who actually wrote it (most were credited to Lennon/McCartney but were often not written by both).
The book is laid out chronologically, so it really makes sense and it is easy to locate specific songs and albums.
I recommend this book for any fan of the Beatles. I consider myself a pretty avid fan and this book contains a LOT of great content I didn't even know!
