In this podcast, Erin and Karen review the the only authorized biography of The Beatles, written by Hunter Davies and published in 1968.
We examine Davies' defense of his work throughout the decades, his continued support for and promotion of the work's key interpretations up through the present day, and The Authorized Biography's unique status in Beatles historiography as the last major work in which all four Beatles spoke with one voice.
(Note: Davies met McCartney in 1966, not 1996).
