(Foreword) 'How many superlatives have been used to describe the Beatles? There is no doubting their impact on popular music in the 1960s, when this book was first published in two volumes. But their influence is still prevalent.Their recordings, original compositions and even their movies have had a dramatic effect on the routes taken by the entertainment industry and will probably continue to do so - even though the surviving members of the group have long gone their separate ways and will never again create new material together.
Alan Aldridge's introduction to the first volume captures the essence of the Beatles' appeal then and now, and his aim to present a book which is as entertaining to the eye and the imagination as a Beatles album is to the ear still holds true today.
Dreams of the reunification of the Fab Four were finally shattered with the assassination of John Lennon in front of his home in December 1980. This book, which contains contributions by some of the greatest artists of our time, is thus inevitably more of a retrospective tribute than a celebration of a decade's style. The magic remains, and A Splendid Time is Guaranteed for All.'
