We bought this as a joint Christmas present for our grand-children who are both musically talented and great Beatles fans. They are “over the moon” with this and to have the actual scores at their finger-tips is magical !

As an amateur entomologist I was slightly disappointed that the book contains no reference to Beetles or any other insects.
It has got a lot of music in it though, which does look nice.

Why should one buy lyrics and scores in the Internet Age? True, on the Web you can find all the Beatles’ lyrics, and many of their scores, but you have to look for them, print them (and they’re not necessarily printer friendly), and then you have a pile of sheets which are never in the right order. The Beatles – Complete scores is a perfect companion for those Beatles lovers who want to play and sing their songs: it has all the original songs with guitar tabs, scores for the different instruments and for singing, and it comes in hardback, so it won’t fall to pieces if you use it intensively. It is a bit bulky to carry around, but that is inevitable, as it is so complete, it also includes many songs by other composers the band played in their early years.
One difect it has, it’s in rather small print, so for those who are not so young that can be a problem.

Every track recorded by The Beatles is included in this book (but not the Anthology tracks ‘Free As A Bird’ & ‘Real Love’) and are scored for all instruments.
A couple of them aren’t correct though with ‘If I Needed Someone’ being a prime example as the song is played with a capo but the book has the song with open fingering (there are clips of George playing the song with a capo).
In all fairness this book is as good as it gets and is the best Beatles music score I have ever owned.

The Beatles – what can you say that hasn’t been said already.
The book covers almost everything recorded and released (Polydor and live recordings not included – that goes also for the rare cases of different recordings on single and LP). Of course, knowing that the Beatles was very creative in the studio, all of the things you can here on the record isn’t possible to put down as sheet music. Also, 2nd and 3rd vocals are usually left out.
Despite that you’ll find what you’re looking for if you like the Beatles.

This book has every Beatles song. Who doesn’t want that. A totally unique group. Gods gift to the world. It will never happen again. Get some genius into your life.

Stupid copyright means I can’t print out a page.
by PeterBennett
Good point is that it is comprehensive, but as far as the guitar tab goes, it’s not as accurate as when the same songs are transcribed by the likes of Total Guitar/Total Accuracy etc. Another problem is the very small typeface used to keep the volume’s size and costs down. My way round this will be to scan and enlarge the pages for those songs I have a particular interest in, otherwise it will be out with some magnifying specs I have for SMD device work (tiny electronic components).
Would I buy it again ? Probably, is the answer, where else can you get such a treasure trove of all the beatles music scores for this price ?
