■ "THE BEATLES ILLUSTRATED LYRICS" by ALAN ALDRIDGE

A reprint of a legendary title featuring illustrated lyrics by The Beatles.

A reprint of a rare title (first published in 1969) featuring the lyrics of The Beatles, a legendary icon of the 1960s and a British rock band still loved around the world today, along with illustrations, collages, and photographs by designers active at the time. Wanting to create something that could be enjoyed visually as much as The Beatles' albums captivated the ears, designer and friend Alan Aldridge compiled this book, calling on popular British illustrators and fans. Each designer's unique artwork, inspired by their respective lyrics, reveals the breadth of interpretation and imagination, revealing the hidden meanings that lie beyond the surface. Lyrics are presented in chronological order for nearly every song, from "Can't Buy Me Love" to "Help!", "Yesterday," "Hey Jude," "Yellow Submarine," "All You Need Is Love," and "Let It Be." This special book not only allows readers to enjoy the profound lyrics of The Beatles, but also allows them to appreciate artwork from the 1960s. Limited to 1,500 copies, each copy is signed and numbered by editor Alan Aldridge.
