The friction that formed within the band during these recording sessions chronicled here in closely observed detail, and the result is an extraordinarily intimate look at the Beatles and their music during their most difficult period. For years people have asked why the Beatles broke up; here, finally, is the answer.’ This book is in very good condition. This book does not look like it has been read, or even opened much.

Here is some information about the book:SynopsisThis account of the Beatles' Get Back sessions is a must have for all Beatlemaniacs. Doug Sulpy, the author of the critically acclaimed 910'S GUIDE TO THE BEATLES OUTTAKES, claims to have painstakingly threshed through hundreds of hours of tape to render this moody portrait of the band. Glimpses into the studios reveal the Fab Four engaged in the grueling processes of creating their LET IT BE album and film during the fateful winter of 1969. Yoko Ono is portrayed as manipulator of spaced-out John, George as irritated by John's rejections of his song suggestions, Ringo as somberly silent, and Paul as anxious to wrap things up. Fans who wonder why the Beatles broke UP will find some answers here.Publisher's NoteHere, for the first time, Beatles experts Sulpy and Schweighardt trace the group's breakdown through the fascinating prism of the Get Back recording sessions. January 2, 1969: The Beatles begin a month of intensive sessions, designed to capture the musicians "as nature intended". Playing raw, live, with no studio tricks or gimmicks, the Beatles were consciously rejecting the high-gloss production style of their recent albums in favor of a return to their earlier stripped-down rock and roll sound. But Beatles Unplugged soon became Beatles Undone, and the project turned into the thirty-day saga of a group in freefall. Bickering and sniping, trudging through sloppy versions of old hits, the Fab Four were coming apart. For twenty-five years, tapes from the ill-fated Get Back sessions - only a fraction of which were released as Let It Be - have circulated among collectors. Sulpy and Schweighardt, for the first time, have undertaken a Herculean task: Sifting through those countless hours on tape, they reconstruct in amazing detail the drama of those sessions - the songs, jokes, outbursts, and fights. Get Back puts the reader in the studio as John cedes power to Yoko, Paul scrambles to keep things afloat, and George quits the band. It traces each step in the band's unique creative process. And, finally, it relives the glorious coda - when, for an impromptu rooftop concert, all four left their differences downstairs and mustered the singular Beatles magic.Industry reviews"Thorough, and intriguingly detailed, Get Back almost achieves the impossible--by showing just how boring being a Beatle could be, as they battle through half-remembered songs and scrappy riffs in a last desperate effort to salvage what was patently long gone. This may be the nearest you'll ever get to being a fly on the Fabs' wall....Out of the mind-numbing tedium emerges one of the most poignant Beatle books ever."Del Negro
