Following on from Like The Record Volume I, the author seeks out rare interviews from obscure sources that offer an unscripted account of their lives, telling a tale that comes closer to the truth than official versions authorized by the three surviving Beatles themselves. Beginning in 1970, Badman traces the lives, loves and music of John, Paul, George and Ringo right up to the present day, their stories in their own words and in the words of those closest to them. He tells the stories behind the news, adding flesh to the skeleton of their post-Beatles lives.
