All You Need Is Love

All You Need is Love is a ground-breaking oral history of the Beatles and how it all came to an end. Based on never-before-published or heard interviews with Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and their families, friends, and business associates, this is a landmark book, containing stunning new revelations, about the biggest band the world has ever seen. In 1980-1981 former COO of Apple Corp, Peter Brown and author Steven Gaines interviewed everyone in the Beatles'' inner circle and included a small portion of the transcripts in their international bestselling book The Love You Make , which spent four months on the New York Times bestseller list. But left in their archives was a treasure trove of unique and candid interviews that they chose not to publish, until now. A powerful work assembled through honest, intimate, sometimes contradictory and always fascinating testimony, All You Need is Love is a one-of-a-kind insight into the final days, weeks, months and years of the Beatles phenomenon.

Auteur
STEVEN GAINES is the New York Times bestselling author of Philistines at the Hedgerow and The Love You Make (with Peter Brown). His journalism has appeared in Vanity Fair, the New York Times, and New York magazine, where he was a contributing editor for 12 years. He has lived in Wainscott, a small hamlet on the East End of Long Island, for 40 years. PETER BROWN is the former COO of Apple Corp, the Beatles' financial empire. He's been a Beatles intimate since their earliest days in Liverpool. Their passports were locked in his desk drawer. He was best man at John and Yoko's wedding, he introduced Paul to Linda Eastman, and perhaps the most charming of his credentials is that he's the only real person ever mentioned in a Beatles song: 'Peter Brown called to say, you can make it okay, you can marry in Gibraltar near Spain' from 'The Ballad of John and Yoko'. Mr. Brown is now chairman of the international public relations firm of Brown Lloyd James LTD.

Texte du rabat
