Editorial Reviews

Marshall McLuhan

A document of our century.

Newsweek

[Davies's] hard work and the obvious trust the Beatles have in him allow us to see the young musicians for the first time as interesting, fallible, corporeal creatures, each quite different from the others, each with his own history and hang-ups and hopes.
