Solo in the 70s: John, Paul, George, Ringo 1970 - 1980

Solo in the 70s: John, Paul, George, Ringo 1970 - 1980

In 2010, Robert Rodriguezâ€™s Fab Four FAQ 2.0: The Beatles 1970-1980 told the story of the ex-band mates during the first ten years after calling it quits, detailing efforts to establish four separate artistic identities while laboring in the shadow of their glorious collective past; all the while facing the inevitable query, â€œSo when are the Beatles getting back together?â€
But while 2.0 covered an enormous amount of ground, there were still more stories to tell: Johnâ€™s fight to stay in America against the forces of Nixon Administration; the lawsuits against their business alliesâ€”and each other; unreleased recordings; the promo films; album art; covers of ex-Beatle music by other artists (as well as covers by ex-Beatles of other artistsâ€™ material); bootleg releases and many more subjects.
In Solo in the 70s: John, Paul, George, Ringo 1970-1980, youâ€™ll learn about their people: producers and engineers they worked with; up-and-comers branded as â€œthe new Beatles;â€ protÃ©gÃ©s; friends and associates, and a roll call of deaths in the â€œfamily.â€
Putting it all in perspective is a 30,000 word day-by-day timeline, contextualizing rockâ€™s evolution throughout the 1970s, ending with the death of John Lennon. See for yourself the peers and artistic rivals the ex-Beatles worked alongside while crafting their art and how it all fit together.
Solo In The 70s is a welcome addition to the Beatlesâ€™ reference canon. Richly illustrated with period ephemera, it draws the reader into the world that fans inhabited back in the day. Whether youâ€™re seeking to learn more about the post-break-up era or want to revisit a glorious time when four ex-Beatles were creating new music worthy of their legacy, Solo In The 70s puts this unsung era into focus.
