Beatles' Archeology

The Beatles history deciphered by sound

~How did they become the Beatles~


There are many biographies that fill the outer moat, but I can't find a history book that cuts the front and focuses on music. Let's put together by saying.
It is assumed here that the 2009 remaster sound source is used, but since many songs are recorded in multiple albums, "STEREO" / "MONO" may be added to the album name to distinguish them (for example, "REVOLVER (REMASTER STEREO)”).
