The Beatles released only ten and a half hours of music during their time together -- a mere fraction of the four hundred hours’ worth of Beatles recordings residing in the Abbey Road archives. For years these archives were completely inaccessible to the public -- until journalist Mark Hertsgaard was able to get inside Abbey Road Studios and listen to these remarkable recordings. What he heard led to the creation of A Day in the Life -- one of the most comprehensive biographies ever written about The Beatles. Exploring their lives, their creative process, and -- most importantly -- their music, A Day in the Life is a revealing look at the band captured the hearts of music lovers throughout the world. With a new introduction by Mark Hertsgaard exclusive to Barnes & Noble Digital.
