THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

NOMINATED FOR AUDIOBOOK OF THE YEAR AT THE 2025 GRAMMYS

'There are many incredible revelations about the relationships of John and Yoko and Paul and Linda and their impact on the band. This is one of those audiobooks you can't shut off and will never forget.' -AudioFile (Earphones Award Winner)

'I can think of no one better placed to tell the story behind The Beatles than Peter Brown.' -Pattie Boyd Harrison

'Interviews so controversial they were locked in a vault for 40 years' -The Times

'A fascinating snapshot of the tensions still festering between The Fab Four in 1980' -The Telegraph

'It truly is a jaw-dropping read' -Daily Express

'A revealing oral history of the forces that spurred the band's breakup... drawing from a trove of never before published conversations. Beatles fans will be impatient to get their hands on this.' -Publishers Weekly

'**** A gossipy, insider oral history' -MOJO magazine

All You Need is Love is a ground-breaking oral history of the Beatles and how it all came to an end. Based on never-before-published or heard interviews with Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and their families, friends, and business associates, this is a landmark book, containing stunning new revelations, about the biggest band the world has ever seen.

In 1980-1981 former COO of Apple Corp, Peter Brown and author Steven Gaines interviewed everyone in the Beatles' inner circle and included a small portion of the transcripts in their international bestselling book The Love You Make, which spent four months on the New York Times bestseller list. But left in their archives was a treasure trove of unique and candid interviews that they chose not to publish, until now. A powerful work assembled through honest, intimate, sometimes contradictory and always fascinating testimony, All You Need is Love is a one-of-a-kind insight into the final days, weeks, months and years of the Beatles phenomenon.

An illuminating page turner
New York Post
All You Need Is Love affords readers with a feast of new information... presents the band members and their circle in rare instances of unmediated frankness....All You Need Is Love proves itself to be an invaluable historical resource, presenting the Beatles entirely in their own words in a series of moments in which an unknown future was still splayed out before them, those precious last instances in which all four Fabs still safely walked the earth.
Salon
For those interested in the interplay of personalities and the ambience of the Beatles era, this is a treasure trove. A rich collection of Beatles material, reported by those closest to the band during its heyday.
Kirkus Reviews
