According to The Hollywood
Reporter, "the Beatles is the biggest selling group of all time in the
U.K." (Read the rest of the story here...)
"The Beatles, Popular
Music and Sixties Britain", taught by Rikky Rooksby, is a fascinating
examination of the Beatles and their impact.
The course description says:
" Revered and reviled
in equal measure, the Sixties continue to fascinate. We will explore how the
Beatles made their music, and trace its development from the relatively simple
recordings of their first albums to the layered recording techniques of Abbey
Road. We will place their songs in context by discussing examples by other
notable British groups of the period. The course also includes some British
poetry and articles from the decade, as well as archive film of Swinging London
and other clips, and mention of some of the key events in British art and
politics. However familiar you think the Beatles’ music is, prepare to hear
more in it than before."
