I just don’t understand the point of issuing a promo for a book that’s a year away. And to advertise it as pre-order from 16 Sept when it’s been on Amazon since March is just plain....umm....daft
I guess Mal Evan's was right... he just didn't know it would be August 2021! "Release of the album is being held back until August so that it can coincide with the publication of a special book full of recording session pictures. Apart from the LP and the book, there's the film which was made while the new numbers were being rehearsed at Twickenham and recorded in Apple's own new studio in the basement beneath 3, Savile Row, our London headquarters. The fe!lows would like the film to go on television in August so that everything comes together at the same time." -The Beatles Book Monthly # 72
According to the Beatles website: Publication Date: October 2020 ISBN: 978-0-935112-96-2 See Get Back | The Beatles
I can pre order the book in Amazon Brazil https://www.amazon.com.br/dp/093511...colid=G0FNZJIO3LG9&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it R$329,97 =$62,65
Thousands of fans didn’t believe the whole story at all, so.. Seriously, the book IMO is 100% finished, ready, pressed and stored somewhere.
Probably the same warehouse as the Let It Be 50 deluxe sets! The film is the main event and guess everything else needs to wait for its big release.
From the press release: "Presenting transcribed conversations drawn from over 120 recorded hours of the band’s studio sessions with hundreds of previously unpublished images, including photos by Ethan A. Russell and Linda McCartney, [...] THE BEATLES: GET BACK will be a special and essential companion to director Peter Jackson’s “THE BEATLES: GET BACK” feature documentary film, set for theatrical release on August 27, 2021."
One thing is sure: there won’t be any reprinting of the old 1970 book, as in the new one there seems to be plenty of pics coming from the old one. Same with the dialogue. This new GET BACK book seems to be an expanded and “remastered” version of the previous one
Here's the trailet for "Let It Be, Get Back Book". You can pre-order now and yhe release date is August 2021. Is that the show release of "Let It Be"movie coincidentally with the book release? From the Guardian, The Beatles announce Get Back, first official book in 20 years
I would double-check you ordered this same book. There's no way it was available for pre-order until today. Can you supply a link of the book you ordered in February?
Yeah i wondered about that but my order from February now shows the 'rainbow' cover as detailed in the press release....
I just thought of this, they are distinguishing the book from the movie. Maybe the movie posters and DVD sleeves will be tagged with 'By Peter Jackson'.
