Did you know that Frank Sinatra claimed that Something, composed by George Harrison, was the greatest love song ever written? That the Beatles were the first advance guard in British music's conquest of the world? That Quino, the creator of Mafalda, was an absolute Beatlemaniac and dedicated some of his best comic strips to the Liverpool four? That the group's unmistakable sound and ability to win over audiences were forged not in the bars and clubs of their hometown, but during the hard years they spent in Hamburg? This book sheds light on the lesser-known aspects of the best-known group of all time: their gestation, their music, their achievements, their failures, but also their era, their influences, the people who surrounded them, the relevant places, the "supporting players" who were crucial for everything to happen as it finally did. There are many books about the Beatles, but none is like this one.
