The most complete and in-depth book about the Beatles is finally being released in Brazil by the publisher Belas Letras in pre-sale format this Wednesday, the 14th.
The Beatles Tune In – All These Years, written by Mark Lewisohn , considered the world's leading Beatles historian, is now available in Portuguese in a two-volume translation, totaling 1317 pages. The book reveals shocking facts and impressive details about the band's formative years, as no other biographer has ever done before, and has been described by Rolling Stone as "the greatest, most important and most profound account of the Beatles of all time."
Tune In , above all, proves how the Beatles' story has been told incorrectly over the years, accumulating contradictory information and urban legends. Mark Lewisohn updates the Beatles' history through hundreds of exclusive interviews, thousands of extensive documents, and over a decade of research. Tune In delves into one of the band's least known and, precisely for that reason, most fascinating periods: their pre-fame era up to the recording of the album Please Please Me . "All These Years" is part of a trilogy – two more works are planned by the author for the coming years.
Lewisohn addresses the lesser-known period of the Liverpool quartet, covering their formative years, pre-fame era, adolescence, their time in Liverpool and Hamburg, ending in December 1962.
It's no coincidence that this is considered the definitive work by specialized critics and Beatles fans around the world. The author is one of the most important sources for any professional who wants to take the Beatles seriously. Lewisohn has worked with the Beatles on several projects; his fingerprints are imprinted on editorial and audiovisual projects, including the Anthology and the award-winning documentary Get Back . To write Tune In , Lewisohn scoured absolutely everything that was said by the Beatles and to the Beatles that is documented.
