Best Musicals & Film Songbooks
What a book The Beatles Anthology is! They talk in turn about those early years and how they came to join the band that would make them known around the world as John, Paul, George and Ringo. At last, here is The Beatles' own story. Those are augmented by excerpts from interviews with John that are integrated effectively and almost seamlessly with the new material, and by occasional comments from the group's closest associates, such as recording producer George Martin. Although the contents are somewhat sanitized--this is, after all, essentially a group autobiography--the four address less-pleasant incidents, such as the sacking of original Beatles drummer Pete Best and the petty squabbles that led to the group's 1970 breakup.

Find Best Price at Amazon"It took me about 1 1/2 months to work through the book and I rate it as excellent instruction for anyone wanting to learn or re-learn the piano."
"A little background before I get into the real review: My 14 y/o trumpet player daughter has been wanting to learn the piano for years. Her trumpet teacher disagreed and recommended she start with the Suzuki method as she has and incredibly good ear and quite a bit of natural musical talent. I bought this book to help rectify that, knowing that I'll be sitting in on her weekly lessons and absorbing a lot of information there. It's pretty exciting to go from not knowing where middle C is located to playing Jingle Bells with a bit of harmony in 2 days! I do plan on adding scales and such to my practice sessions, as these are truly the things that will help you progress and give you a more fundamental understanding of how music is put together. I feel like I'm able to grasp the concepts that are introduced and will be able to help my daughter along once her lessons start in a couple of weeks."
"No CD, but Youtube is better than the CD anyway."
"I have looked around for the cd to buy seperately but I cant find it."
"This is excellent book for beginners."
"So far, helping me learn the piano."
"A little bit hard if you are teaching yourself."
"I love this book!!!"

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Focusing on his Warner Brothers recordings which IMHO are indeed his best, this collection opens with two songs he originally recorded for his 1969 debut for Apple but couldn't obtain the rights of those recordings so Taylor re-recorded them specifically for this release-"Something In The Way She Moves"[Which George Harrison liked so much he used the title in the opening line of his own song "Something"-his only chart-topping song with the Beatles]and "Carolina On My Mind"[The original recording featured Paul McCartney on bass and Harrison's backing vocals]. Rounding out this collection are the songs "Mexico"[Which features vocals by David Crosby and Graham Nash and vibes by Milt Holand-Loggins & Messina's percussionist]; "Shower The People" another song to feature Carly Simon on background vocals[Although when Taylor did this one live he often had a reel-to-reel tape machine playing pre-recorded background vocals during the chorus only which was odd at times] and, finally, a steaming live rendition of "Steamroller"[Yes, I know, Elvis Presley covered this one in his Aloha From Hawaii special in 1973]."
"I bought it for Fire and Rain, but enjoy most of the rest."
"I can now play some of those songs with mysterious chords and unusual fingering that the self-taught James Taylor invented."
