Love Me Do


Päťdesiat rokov od chvíle, keď 5. októbra 1962 vydali svoj singlový debut Love Me Do, vychádza životopis Beatles z pera uznávaného hudobného publicistu Paola Hewitta. Táto jedinečne štruktúrovaná publikácia sa sústreďuje na okamihy, keď sa legendárna štvorka venovala tvorbe svojho unikátneho diela. Nájdeme tu menej známe informácie, ako okolnosti zrodu účesu „Chrobákov“, opis ich návštevy v Indii, zoznámenie s Bobom Dylanom, i tie známejšie, ktoré sa týkajú ich vystúpenia v show Eda Sullivana, natáčanie v štúdiu Abbey Road a televízneho prenosu skladby All You Need Is Love. V priebehu trinásťročnej existencie sa toho kapele podarilo viac ako iným za celý život. A keďže sa ich neustále premeny a pokrok odohrávali pred očami verejnosti, podarilo sa im napísať jeden z najväčších umeleckých príbehov 20. storočia.
