The Beatles / A Celebration

There have been hundreds of volumes published on the Beatles, but none has amassed to such an extent the icons of their period. ‘THE BEATLES A CELEBRATION’ is the ultimate tribute to that time. Gathered from the world's largest private collection of Beatles memorabilia, the book includes interviews with friends, relatives and co-workers; exclusive photographs of the Beatles in the studio; rare examples of rejected album cover designs and posters; handwritten lyrics and letters; and samples of artwork by members of the band never before reproduced

John Lennon My Brother

John Lennon's Liverpool family has been inundated with requests for interviews, which they have never granted. Now Julia Baird, John's younger sister, tells their story. Here is a unique portrait of Lennon: a personal, deeply moving testament to the loving brother behind the superstar. It is also a tribute to their mother, Julia, whose musical talent and great sense of fun were an integral part of John's persona. Julia describes the five strong women who shaped the lives of John and his two sisters and the unorthodox upbringing that produced perhaps the greatest songwriter of the century. Paul McCartney contributes a charming foreword.

Dark Horse / The Life & Art Of George Harrison

‘DARK HORSE’ chronicles Harrison's spartan Liverpool childhood and early teenage friendships, his passion for music and the forging of the Beatles', his much-talked-about spiritual quest, the complexities of his personal relationships, the ups and downs of his solo career, his experiences with hard drugs, as well as his intense fear after Lennon's death and subsequent retreat behind the impenetrable walls of his estate in Henley-on-Thames, England. Harrison struggled to have his compositions included on the heavily Lennon-McCartney-dominated LPs. On his own, however, he enjoyed great success with 'All Things Must Pass' and the Concert For Bangladesh, then suffered a nearly fatal bout of hepatitis, the breakdown of his first marriage and public disenchantment with his fanciful music. Harrison, though, came back strong in the eighties with the successful 'Cloud Nine', his work as a film producer and new life as one of the Traveling Wilburys. FREE READ

Blackbird / The Life & Times Of Paul McCartney

Behind Blue Eyes / A Life Of Pete Townshend

Who guitarist Pete Townshend has lived a fascinating, troubled life, but has never been the subject of a biography. Now Giuliano, who has known Townshend intimately for over twenty years, provides a complete look at the composer's turbulent and eventful life. Behind Blue Eyes draws on interviews with close friends, co-workers and fellow musicians, including Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney and Keith Richards, as well as Townshend himself. Giuliano tells us what it was like for Pete to grow up in the shadow of a sexually voracious mother, to turn to music as an escape from the mockery of schoolmates; to develop from an unskilled, musical illiterate into the composer-performer who led John Entwistle, Roger Daltrey, and Keith Moon to musical heights in the Who; to indulge in excesses that would have killed most men and indeed did finish off a number of Pete's closest friends. Giuliano explores the contradictions of a man who was a political radical yet made and squandered millions; a husband and father who engaged in the sexual prerogatives of stardom and revealed his bisexuality; a devoted believer in the spiritual teachings of Indian mystic Meher Baba, yet a man who abused every appetite and desire.

The Illustrated Paul McCartney

Giuliano separates the carefully crafted public image from the real Paul.

Illustrated with a wealth of photographs, this book is based on the recollections of those closest to the fabled bassist as well as Giuliano's exclusive interview with McCartney himself.

Here at last is James Marshall Hendrix as you've never seen him.

The Lost Beatles Interviews

In addition, fabled sixties humanist guru Dr. Timothy Leary contributes a provocative afterward. Here, for the first time, the Beatles speak out on such previously taboo subjects as drugs, mysticism, Beatlemania, the deep affection that bonded them and the fiery conflicts that eventually tore them apart, politics, family life, the death of Brian Epstein, the sixties consciousness revolution, fame, money, the Yoko Ono controversy, their energetic love lives, the tragic murder of Lennon and, of course, their timeless music. Along with thirty-two pages of never-before-seen photos.

Lennon In America / 1971-1980

A chilling biography of the last ten years of John Lennon's turbulent and tortured life in the USA . Written using Lennon's top secret day-to-day diaries as a guide, along with John's seldom heard spoken word diary recordings. Lennon in America is a history changing look at the inner workings of the mind of one the twentieth century's most prolific composers. So explosive is the content, that when it was first published Yoko Ono and her son, Sean Lennon, moved temporarily to Switzerland to avoid the media avalanche which was sure to follow such a riveting, no holds barred account. During his brief lifetime, John Lennon was a committed truth seeker, a fact strongly reflected in his often gritty compositions. To have written a biography any less truthful than the great man himself would have been not only a colossal waste of time but a stain on the memory of this complex often self destructive, ever engrossing man with over seventy five never before published black and white photographs.

Revolution / A Secret History Of The Beatles

Revolution shows us the Beatles as we’ve never seen them before. In their own words as well as of those around them, we follow John, Paul, George, Pete and Ringo from their humble childhoods in Liverpool and seedy days in Hamburg to the heights of Beatlemania when they effortlessly conquered America and the rest of the world. We see what happened to these four brilliant young artists when the dream turned sour, how John’s savage drug addiction, business disputes, bitter musical feuds and simmering personal rivalries were to ultimately  tear the band apart. And how the oppressive constraints of global fame and the Beatles ‘industry’ continued to impact on the lives of the band and those closest to them. Full of never-before-published stories, written with incredible attention to detail, Revolver is a highly revealing, history changing, myth busting book that presents brave new insights into the Beatles, and in doing so reminds us of their outstanding legacy to the world.
