John Lennon: The Illustrated Biography

In 200 page-filling black and white photos from the archives of London's Daily Mail, this album chronicles the singular musical career of John Lennon, from his days with the Quarry Men in 1958, along with Paul McCartney and George Harrison, to the days before and after his murder on December 8, 1980. Among the classic, rarely seen, and never before published photos here are early performances with the Beatles in the Cavern Club, the rise of Beatlemania, the band's psychedelic period, the inauguration of Apple Corp, John's life with Yoko Ono, the Beatles' breakup, and his subsequent career as an activist, musician, and father.
