McCartney Times

Celebrate the 10th anniversary of this ground-breaking book!   This month marks ten years since the release of Garry Berman’s book We’re Going to See the Beatles! (Santa Monica Press). It’s an oral history of Beatlemania, as told by over forty fans from across the country whom Garry had the pleasure to interview, and hear their stories. Garry has always felt a little odd referring to himself as the “author” of this book, since most of the words are those of the interviewees, who told him of their first-hand experiences as teens during the Beatlemania era and the years beyond. They are the true stars of the book. As the first Beatles oral history from the fans ever published in the U.S., this book was a ground-breaker. Since this book’s release, many writers have used the same format for their own books about the Fab Four, but nothing has compared to Garry’s collection. In celebration of this landmark, Garry is giving away three signed copies of We’re Going to See the Beatles! on his blog. Click to enter: Garry Berman’s Blog Garry is available for interviews.
