John Paul George Ringo & Me

---

Tony Barrow coined the Beatales's nickname the Fab Four, wrote the sleeve notes for a number of the group's album covers, set up their huge international press conferences, selected their media interviews and fixed up their photo shoots at home and abroad during the touring years, and finally collaborated with Paul Caratney in 1967 to compile the strip-cartoon story booklet that came with the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour recording. He is one of a handfull of survivng eyewitnesses able to write a firsthand account of life within the Beatles' close knit entourage and the only remaining professional writer from that circle. rnrnFew were closer to the Beatles than Tony Barrow, and this is not merely a biography of the Fab Four, but a uniquw and vividly personal memoir by a Liverpool-born author. Barrow shared in the Beatles' greatest triumphs and their darkest moments of terror when the band faced very real threats of personal injury and possible assassination. Barrow was with the Beatles at their very private party with Elvis Presley in the King's Bel Air home in 1965, and recalls how he comforted and coached a frightened John Lennon before his crucial 1966 press conference in the wake of the rebellious we're more popular than Jesus quote. He watched their "greatest gig og all" at New York's Shea Stadium and at Paul's request he madae a personal souvenir recording of the Beatles' final concert at San Francisco's Candlestick Park. rnrnThe author lets his quickly Liverpudlian sense of humour run all through the text because "rock 'n' roll was never invented to be taken too seriously.""
