Showing of 63 reviews. Top Reviews Most recent Top Reviews. There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. This is a republication of a book first published in and there's a certain counter-cultural air to it - artists just doing their own thing, maybe inspired by the Beatles, not necessarily ABOUT the Beatles, or even the songs.

As a result this is a collection of pretty random artworks, interspersed with the lyrics to songs presented as blocks of text, together with quotes from John, Paul, George, Ringo, and other Beatles-related people. The artwork is a weird variety, which should be great, but there are very few stand-out pieces and a lot of it doesn't seem particularly Beatles-related: Steadman provides a couple other pieces in his signature style; readers will also recognize Tomi Ungerer; it's interesting to contrast Heinz Edelman's famous designs for the "Yellow Submarine" movie with Peter Max' contribution.

A number of Japanese artists contributed, including manga-inspired surrealist Tiger Tateishi. There are also four double-spreads devoted to fan-art sketches of the Fab Four, which feel like filler. However there are interesting pieces by a lot of artists I'd never heard of before.

It would've been nice to have a section of artist bios, but there's only one for editor Alan Aldridge himself.

Aldridge provided a number of works. These are mostly airbrush pieces in a bulbous-marquee style reminiscent of Monty Python artist Terry Gilliam - they tend to be more song-oriented than many of the other pieces. There is some very '60s-style nudity, including nude children and Victorian nudie pictures; we're not talking Playboy here. A set of Brighton "saucy postcard" images are also included. The quotes are short statements that sometimes comment on the songs and sometimes don't. Some are sort of general quotes on the Beatles phenomenon by the Beatles and others the famous Timothy Leary quote about the Beatles as "evolutionary agents sent by God" is on page , Lennon's infamous "bigger than Christ" remark is also quoted.

All in all it's worth a glance, but not a keeper imho. I bought it for my two year old daughter who has been absolutely obsessed with the Beatles since first hearing Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, and has memorize a dozen or so songs just from listening so she could sing along. The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics and the second volume follow-up were an inspiration to me while I was in school majoring in Fine Art.
