Description

The Beatles; the Rolling Stones; the Kinks; the Who; and numerous other groups put Britain at the center of the modern musical map. Please Please Me offers an insiders view of the British pop-music recording industry during the seminal period of 1956 to 1968; based on personal recollections; contemporary accounts; and all relevant data that situate this scene in the economic; political; and social context of postwar Britain. Author Gordon Thompson weaves issues of class; age; professional status; gender; and ethnicity into his narrative; beginning with the rise of British beat groups and the emergence of teenagers as consumers in postwar Britain; and moving into the competition between performers and the recording industry for control over the music. He interviews musicians; songwriters; music directors; and producers and engineers who worked with the best-known performers of the era. Drawing his interpretation of the processes at work during this musical revolution into a wider context; Thompson unravels the musical change and innovation of the time with an eye on understanding what traces individuals leave in the musical and recording process.
