A Beatles book to end all Beatles books. The official account of The Beatles’ last year together as they recorded their final album, Let It Be. In a year full of emotional turmoil, the Fab Four gathered together and, feeling like this was the end, recorded some of their very best music. Alongside the production of the album was their idea of one last performance on the roof of Apple Records. Hundreds of hours of never made public video and recorded conversations and transcripts of these sessions will be in this book. Fittingly, a documentary produced by Disney and directed by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame will expand on this event in a landmark cinematic moment.

It’s hard to imagine at any point the greatest rock band in the world was spiraling downward – with Paul’s grievances with John, John’s drug use, George and Ringo cast aside and with Apple Records in dire financial straits. In what would be their last year, the “Fab Four” recorded Abbey Road and the rest is history.
