Synopsis

(Book). The official technical reference book for Beatles Rock Band, written by the official consultant to the game for technical specifications! This landmark book details exactly which guitars, drums, amplifiers and keyboards The Beatles used at the key points of their relatively brief but entirely revolutionary career from the formation of the Quarry Men in the 1950s to the dissolution of the Beatles in 1970. It provides a fascinating fresh insight into Beatles history from an entirely new viewpoint, and along the way many myths are exploded and dozens of stories told for the first time.
