The complete Beatles recording sessions

The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions is a book by Mark Lewisohn, first published in 1988 by Hamlyn (a division of the Octopus Publishing Group), and executive produced by Norman Bates for the record company EMI. It gives a complete history of The Beatles' recording sessions, from 4 September 1962, shortly after the Beatles had returned to England from Germany, to 2 April 1970, when their final album, Let It Be, was mixed. It features facsimile reproductions of some the EMI recording documents on the sessions.

The book includes an interview with Paul McCartney and remarks by the other three Beatles, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, by producers George Martin and Phil Spector, and by some of the session musicians that performed on the Beatles’ songs.

One of the most important and successful rock 'n' roll books ever published is now available in paperback. This is the definitive guide to every recording session done by the Beatles at EMI's Abbey Road recording studio. 150 full-color, 100 duotone, and 100 black-and-white photographs.
