Description

September 1980 First Delta Printing. Paperback cover has some wear. Pages are clean and the binding is secure.

This copy of “The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics 2” is a fascinating artifact from the peak of Beatlemania. Published in 1980, just a few years after the band’s acrimonious breakup, it captures the enduring appeal of their songwriting through Alan Aldridge’s whimsical illustrations. As the follow-up to the first “Illustrated Lyrics” volume, it delves deeper into the Fab Four’s later, more introspective work, offering a unique visual interpretation of classics like “Hey Jude,” “Revolution,” and “Across the Universe.”

Beyond its artistic value, this book serves as a poignant time capsule of the 1960s counterculture, reflecting the era’s psychedelic aesthetics and anti-establishment ethos. Collectors will appreciate its status as a first printing from the influential Delta imprint, while readers can immerse themselves in the lyrics that soundtracked a generation’s pursuit of peace, love, and rock ‘n’ roll transcendence.
