Extremely richly illustrated. Chapters on the records, the films, the press's reaction, on Brian Epstein, on competitors such as Swinging Blue Jeans and the Hollies, etc.
The book is full of new discoveries and perspectives, such as that the club The Cavern may originally have been a dungeon for slaves, or that forgotten youth riots in Oslo in the summer of 1965 far surpass the more famous rock riots of the fifties.
NRK's less honorable but useful role is highlighted, as is Norwegian beat, the great pop debate and when and how drugs come to the country. Can it really be true that the Beatles would hold a concert at Jordal Amfi? And what do Rolv Wesenlund, Egil Monn-Iversen and Olav Thon have to do with it? All this and much more. But first and foremost it is about The Beatles, the world's best band.
