MacDonald often lets rip with the songwriting terminology, but the wealth of knowledge packed into this book is impressive. This audiobook is an almost claustrophobically close look at the biggest Beatles juggernauts and early noodlings, and has been updated to include material from the Anthology series, plus The Beatles Live at the BBC. Ian MacDonald bled ink as Assistant Editor of the NME from 1972-75, and has left no stone unturned in his research here. More a collection of spoken essays than a straight music audiobook, Revolution In The Head drops you smack-bang into the experimental 60s, and nerds out on all things ‘Beatles songs’. Why do we rate this as the best audiobook for music fans? Because to many, The Beatles are music.
