Pressetext:
A new BEATLES Paperback book for the 21st Century. „Based on a remarkably interesting idea“ – Professor Kenneth Womack, award winning American Novel Writer and BEATLES Scholar. From local Liverpool Writer Joe Robinson who has featured on the BBC and ITV (UK) and American Radio; comes a unique Liverpudlian perspective as  the author traces THE FFAB FOUR’s epic  Journey into Beatledom via their close-knit Labskausian coterie. A story that is told through their songs which demonstrates the BEATLES visionary farsightedness as Pop Prophets of their times. –  A Quantum Journey into the Psychedelic void.
Beatledom is a mythic land in which the BEATLES are saints, probably prophets and possibly even demi-gods. A land in which JOHN LENNON is a martyr, PAUL McCARTNEY a doppelgänger, GEORGE HARRISON a guru, and RINGO STARR isn’t even the best drummer in the band.
Here, tales are told, fables unfurled, myths debunked, and BEATLE songs scrutinised for the stories they tell, of their youth, their mental world of transcendent word games and all too worldly gains, the sheer madness of Beatlemania and the sheer magic that held these four young men together whilst the world around them went mad, and in so doing, changed forever, changing them as they changed it.
Were the BEATLES part of a brain-washing conspiracy, foisted on a gullible public by the shadowy denizens of a new world order? Had they themselves tapped into a font of hidden knowledge from the psychic realm, translating a subliminal treasure trove of hidden clues in their songs and the pop art artefacts of their ground breaking albums? Did their transcendental message of peace and love delve beyond, into the quantum realm, a universe in itself of strange ideas and even stranger realities?
As a microcosm of the broad based sixties vibe, The BEATLES undoubted reflection and shaping of all this, was only possible because of processes going on in the nano-realm of their brainwaves, both receiving and transmitting back the literal oceanic soup of the collective unconscious from their global fan-base, much like the internet is able to do today, with it’s algorithmic translation of millions of Google search enquiries into future behavioural trends. The sixties focus on all things BEATLES was the Internet of its day.
About the author: Joe Robinson is a Liverpool based BEATLES writer who has appeared on BBC TV and radio and ITV (UK) and American radio and written numerous articles on The Fab Four. A lecturer who gives talks on The BEATLES and who tutors on a Creative Writing Course.
