The story of The Beatles has been covered thousands of times in books, memoirs, discographies, and academic tomes. And yet, many of these works focus on their history with little regard to how they experienced their own times. The artistic entity comprised of John #Lennon, Paul #McCartney, George #Harrison, and Ringo #Starr, along with producer George Martin, did not operate in a bubble: they were inspired and challenged by the sounds going on around them.

Ribbons of Rust: The Beatles’ Recording History In Context presents their story like never before, interactively immersing you in the sounds of the music they listened to and created along with the times they inhabited. Richly illustrated with period ephemera throughout, this first volume of takes you along with the four individuals who became The Beatles, from the first inspiring sounds they heard to those nascent original compositions and covers they committed to recording tape (composed of iron oxide bonded to polyethylene terephthalate—“ribbons of rust”).
