How the Beatles Wrote Their Hit Songs November 17, 2008
The Movie Man (Maywood, New Jersey USA)
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
"Composing the Beatles Songbook - Lennon & McCartney 1966 - 1970" is a documentary exploring the partnership, music, and impact of John Lennon and Paul McCartney as composers during their immensely creative period. The DVD incorporates rare footage, classic performances, and interviews with friends of the pair as well as with Beatles historians. We learn the hows, whens, and whys of such Beatles songs as "Eleanor Rigby," "Hey Jude," "Strawberry Fields Forever," "Revolution," "Get Back," and "I Am the Walrus." Seldom has the genesis of pop songs been put to such careful scrutiny. For those who remember those years firsthand, this DVD will provide both nostalgia and the back stories of the songs of youth. For those too young to recall those years, the DVD will shed light on the combination of talent, artistry, experimentation, and marketing that made the Beatles such an unparalleled phenomenon.
 An intellectual look at the Beatles January 14, 2009

I was truly impressed by this review of the Beatles music, feeling the impact of their music to this day. Had to laugh at some of the comments of these experts on occasion, though, as some of the songs were just plain simple songs that were written on the sly, with no real intent to have all of these multiple meanings.
Still, it was refreshing to hear these insiders look at the songs from their vantage. If you want an intellectual lift on your favorite Beatles music, I highly recommend this informative DVD.

Wow, Excellent Facts I did not know June 28, 2009
Mitzi Cater (Key Largo, Florida)
I was truely impressed with the two DVDs on the history of Paul and John's writing experience. I am a true Beatle fan fourever and have hundreds of Beatles items and including DVDs, CDs, and memoriablia. There are truely some facts that I had heard about but was not quiet sure if it was true or not. The people that are in these DVDs are professionals, friends who were around them at all times, and people who know music, which include musicians, professors of music etc. These DVDs are for true Beatle fans who want to know more. Excellent, well done.
