Title: AT THE APPLE'S CORE: THE BEATLES FROM THE INSIDE
Description: "Denis O'Dell, one of the original Apple Corps directors and producer or associate producer of a number of the Beatles' films - including A Hard Day's Night, Magical Mystery Tour and Let It Be - has at last written the account of his relationship with the Fab Four from when he first met them in 1964 to the group's demise and beyond. A longtime friend, collaborator and business associate, he was on location in Spain with John during the shooting of How I Won the War, hosted the press conference with the Beatles in New York for the launch of Apple, was invited by the group to join them at the Maharishi's meditation academy in India, worked with Ringo on The Magic Christian and witnessed at first hand the band rehearsing, performing and recording. The book offers new insight into the dynamics of the most famous pop group in history, including the prodigiously creative songwriting partnership of Lennon and McCartney, the band's personal and working relationships - in the recording studio, on tour, in Apple's London offices and during filming - their attempts to live relatively normal lives at the height of Beatlemania, as well as their final break-up at the end of the decade." "Illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs from Denis O'Dell's personal collection, including pictures taken in India with members of the group, At the Apple's Core is an intimate, revealing, entertaining and often moving examination of the phenomenon that was the Beatles as perceived by a genuine insider. It is essential reading for all true fans and an indispensable addition to any Beatles library."--Jacket.
