Beatles issue - Mark Lewisohn, Lucas Ligtenberg, Adam Smith, Andre Barreau

In 1963 the hit record ‘Twist and Shout’ by the Beatles was a “special rush release”, its cover a photograph of the band members leaping into the air, ready to take on the world, and seemingly emerging from the bricks and rubble of the past. It was the defining shot of the year and a prophetic glimpse at pop music’s future. With forensic precision Andre Barreau tackles the mystery of the location where it was shot. Also included in this issue, a detailed account of when the Beatles toured Amsterdam by boat in June 1964, plus features on poster typography, famous photo shoots and their locations, autographed material, re-photographing the band, and much more.
