Description
The year that changed everything for the Beatles was 1966. This pivotal moment marked a transformation in the lives and careers of the legendary group, as they transitioned from hysteria-inducing pop stars to musical sages. The year saw the Beatles risk their popularity by retiring from live performances, experimenting with avant-garde ideas, and speaking their minds on issues of politics, war, and religion. Steve Turner, a music journalist and Beatles expert, explores the historical events that had an impact on the group, the music they made, and the vision that allowed them to transform popular music. Turner examines the enormous changes that took place in the Beatles' lives and work during 1966, providing a detailed look at the year that created the groundbreaking legacy that would forever change music and popular culture.
