The Lost Album of the Beatles: What If the Beatles Hadn't Split Up?
An award-winning music author takes a serious look at a playful question of pop history: what if the Beatles had created one more album?
About This Book
This is the story of the great lost Beatles album.
The end of the Beatles wasn't inevitable. It came through miscommunication, misunderstandings and missed opportunities to reconcile. But what if it didn't end? What if just one of those chances was taken, and the Beatles carried on? What if they made one last, great album?
In Like Some Forgotten Dream, Daniel Rachel - winner of the prestigious Penderyn Music Book Prize - looks at what could have been. Drawing on impeccable research, Rachel examines the Fab Four's untimely demise and from the ashes compiles a track list for an imagined final album, pulling together unfinished demos, forgotten B-sides, hit solo songs, and arguing that together they form the basis of a lost Beatles masterpiece.
What Makes This Beatles Book Unique
This paperback offers a daring re-write of Beatles history through meticulous research and compelling narrative. Rachel doesn't simply speculate - he constructs a convincing argument for what the Beatles' final album could have been, track by track. The book examines unfinished demos, B-sides, and solo material that could have formed a lost masterpiece.
Compelling and convincing, Like Some Forgotten Dream is a daring re-write of Beatles history, and a tantalizing glimpse of what might have been.
Daniel Rachel is a musician turned award-winning author. His previous books include NME and Guardian Book of the Year Isle of Noises, Evening Standard Book of the Year Don't Look Back in Anger, and Walls Come Tumbling Down, which was described as 'triumphant' by the Guardian and 'superlative...brilliant' by Q magazine, and was awarded the prestigious Penderyn Music Book Prize in 2017.
