GEAR! Please Please Me: A Guide to the Cover Versions of The Beatles' First Album (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692392737)

We Live in The Golden Age of Beatles Music. The music of the world's greatest rock band did not end in 1970 with their last studio album, or in 1996 with "The Anthology" series. In reality, there is new material coming out on an almost daily basis, as legacy musicians pick up on the root influences of their own generation; as jazz and swing musicians shift their focus from the standards of the 30s and 40s to the popular favorites of their own time; and, as twenty-first century pop artists unearth The Beatles as though it is their own private discovery. The wealth of cover versions is so immense that they cannot be taken on in one volume. Here are the songs from the first Beatles album and a look at the artists who have made them their own. Welcome to the unveiling of the great, the unknown and the unexpectedly inspired musicians creating today's new and totally gear Beatle music.
