THE BEATLES

RAFFAELE CICCALENI - THE BEATLES
(Lato Side Editori - November 1981 - 162pp.)

This book is an interesting essay on the Beatles' music. Strange as it may seem, the subject has rarely been discussed by italian authors. Ciccaleni analyzes a few of their early songs both harmonically and textually. Also included are a chronology and an annotated discography.
 
Cover drawing by Guido Crepax.
Illustrated with black and white pictures.
