The wait is finally over. At last, there is one reference work describing every circulating recording from The Beatles' career. Over 1,000 entries covering hundreds of hours of tape and film, from the Quarry Men's performance on the day John and Paul met in 1957 to Ringo's last stand with Phil Spector on April 1st, 1970. No previous book has dared to brave the realm of Beatles interviews or explore the neglected areas of Beatles video and film work. Newsreel footage, promo clips, TV performances, press conferences, home movies, radio interviews, and documentaries are all given complete in-depth coverage for the first time anywhere. That's in addition to a wealth
of studio outtakes, home demos, concerts, alternate mixes, BBC
performances, and rehearsals. If it's out there, it's in here! |

Reviews of the first edition: * "['Way Beyond Compare'] has joined the ranks of prestige Beatles books (regrettably few in number) that I know I can rely upon when searching for an answer. It really is an impressive tome and I congratulate you on a marvellous job." - Mark Lewisohn, author of "The Complete Beatles Chronicle" * "A massive - and tremendously useful - undertaking... earn[s] an instant place on the list of most essential Beatles references" - "Beatlefan" * "It's hard to imagine what an incredible undertaking this must have been... You have to give Winn a world of credit on getting this done. A tremendous work... Can't wait to see Volume 2." - Steve Marinucci, Abbeyrd's Beatles page * "...Winn writes that he wanted to create 'the kind of [Beatles] book I've always wanted to see'. But it's a safe bet that it's a book other Beatles fans have always wanted to see as well." - "Record Collector" * "[A]n engrossing compendium of fascinating minutiae certain to enthrall first, second and third generation Beatlemaniacs." - Ken Sharp, "Rock Report" Read more

Imagine being given the keys to The Beatles' tape vaults. What would you listen to first, and which mysteries could you solve?
"Lifting Latches" gives you access to the contents of every reel of tape The Beatles recorded for EMI from 1962-1970.
Discover how the songs and albums were assembled, which tapes are now lost forever, and find out about unused sessions and releases not widely reported elsewhere.
Supplementary chapters break new ground on topics such as:
- How several hours of Beatles studio outtakes were liberated from EMI's vault and sold to bootleggers
- How Glyn Johns compiled four different rejected "Get Back" compilations, and how two of them ended up with American DJs
- Why BBC Radio's Beatles archive was nearly empty, and how it was rebuilt over the decades
- Which Beatles demos, rehearsals, and bootlegs John Lennon retained in his private tape collection
All this, plus updates to "Way Beyond Compare" and "That Magic Feeling"!
If you're a Beatles scholar, collector, or fan, you'll be amazed by "Lifting Latches".
