Book excerpt: A unique piece of rock 'n' roll history: the complete story of the most famous band ever, in pictures. The Beatles caused revolution after revolution. Not content with changing the face of youth and popular culture, they also changed the face of popular music, launching it into their own, original stratosphere, with electronica, Eastern influences and damn fine rock 'n' roll. Treasures of the Beatles tells the story of the Fab Four as never before. It shows in beautiful photographs and unique memorabilia the group's journey from the backstreets of Liverpool and Hamburg to their sell-out concerts in Shea Stadium and their quest for musical perfection. In 1964, half of the American population watched the boys play live on The Ed Sullivan Show and 400 million TV viewers saw them record 'All You Need is Love' in 1967. They were awarded MBEs by the Queen, they jammed with Elvis and sold millions of records all over the world. Treasures of the Beatles takes you as close as you can get to that wild ride that spanned two decades but changed the world for ever ...
