Imagine a time before the whole world knew The Beatles - you are in 1960s Liverpool, standing in an overcrowded, dark, sweaty cellar, waiting for John, Paul, George and Pete to take to the stage - about to witness the face of popular music, and your own life, changing forever. This is the story of Mike and Bernadette Byrne's amazing and uniquely personal journey. They not only witnessed music history being made but they went on to build The Beatles Story, the most successful Beatle exhibition in the world. With no money of their own, little experience, and hardly any support from the city, they succeeded. Bernadette was a Cavern regular who went on to date George and Paul, while Mike was a fellow Merseybeat musician and acquaintance of The Beatles. Like scenes in a Beatles film yet to be made, Bernie was caught with her hair in rollers by George Harrison, Paul McCartney nearly burned her parents' house down and Mike was backed by a 21-year-old Ringo while playing at Butlins Holiday Camp. From escaping screaming fans in George Harrison's car and organising 14 labourers to carry Ringo's customised Mini up an escalator in a Dallas mall, to secret meetings with senior Beatle bosses in a London crypt, this journey is packed with unseen pictures and many untold stories about The Beatles - and how a Liverpool couple helped Liverpool fall in love with the Beatles again. The book is a large, coffee table size hardcover with full colour interior, full of rare and magnificent images.

In the early 1960s a new 'Star' appeared on the pop music scene and burned brightly in the firmament. This was the enchantingly beautiful, French singer-songwriter ('chanteuse'), Francoise Madeleine Hardy. Today, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, Francoise can be resurrected, at any moment of her singing career, simply with a flick of a switch on the television's remote control. And there she is, the epitome of French elegance and style! With Francoise, unlike with many of the popular musicians of the time, there was no blaring music or wild gesticulations. She had no need of devices such as these. Her songs are captivating in their own right, particularly those which tell of love, loneliness, and loss. In fact, she has been described as 'the patron saint of the dispossessed and heartbroken'. By why this focus on personal sadness? Could it be that this French icon, beloved by millions throughout the world and who apparently had the world at her feet, was permanently troubled? And if there was something troubling Francoise, could it be love, or to be more precise, unrequited love?

In this full colour bookazine, Greg Healey takes a closer look at the rock band from Birmingham. Adored by their fans and loathed by their critics, across a career that spanned almost fifty years, Black Sabbath divided opinions more than any other band. From heavy psych to heavy metal, this band of Brummie mates ploughed their own unique furrow, releasing a trove of albums along the way and cementing themselves as one of the hardest working live acts on the road. Friendship, ambition, betrayal and jealousy, alongside a yearning for acceptance, interacted with a prodigious appetite for drugs and practical jokes that drove them to the edge. In the hothouse that was Seventies rock 'n' roll all of these elements combined to make what is a truly remarkable story. This is a tale of how four ordinary working class blokes emerged from the Aston area of Birmingham in the late 1960s and helped to redefine music and invent a genre. Along the way each of them overcame personal travails to conquer the world and become one of the biggest bands on the planet. Other members like Ronnie James Dio came and went, but at the centre of it sat the core members, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward. Inspiring and heart-breaking in equal measure their journey to the top and their appetite for wilful self destruction is the stuff of showbiz legend, mixing witches' curses and financial mismanagement along the way. In this exhaustive yet concise study Greg Healey examines the history of the band and their music. Looking beyond the myths, Healey seeks to uncover the truth behind what inspired their sound, drove their wild behaviour, and the circumstances that led them to lose everything and then, against impossible odds, try to win it back again. Love them or loathe them, this is Black Sabbath.
