'One of the most audacious additions to Fab Four literature' - The Herald 

This paperback edition marks the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' first Top 20 hit 'Love Me Do' in 1962. A magical history tour of eyewitness accounts, anecdotes & many never-before-seen photographs. Discover the truth about McCartney's Kintyre drug busts & Lennon's Highland car crash. The Fab Four: George, John, Paul & Ringo, a quartet of working-class kids whose magical songs & revolutionary influence still inspires four decades on. 

More has been written about The Beatles than any other rock group & it is difficult to imagine that there remains anything new to say, but lifelong Beatles fan Ken McNab reveals for the first time, in intimate detail, the pivotal part Scotland played in the genesis of the group & the extraordinary connections that were fostered north of the border before, during & after their meteoric rise to global fame. 

McNab follows The Beatles as rough & ready unknowns on their first tour of Scotland in 1960 - when they were booed off stage in Bridge of Allan - and again, in 1964, as all-conquering heroes. He also discovers that the momentous decision to break up the band was made in Scotland & provides details of the McCartneys' lives in Mull of Kintyre & Lennon's childhood holidays in Durness.
