En este libro, Tincho Remirez de Ganuza, que, ademas, es musico aficionado y tiene su propia banda tributo a los Beatles, reflexiona sobre por que fueron tan influyentes en la industria musical y cuales son, a su juicio, las diferentes claves de tan tremendo exito.

Y, mientras nos cuenta que le iba pasando al grupo en cada momento, nos ofrece multitud de anecdotas y curiosidades sobre el mismo y sus impresiones personales acerca de cada album.
