Description
Shades of Life, Volume 5 in The John Lennon Series tells the story of John’s life in 1965. In that year, The Beatles repeated every single thing they had done in 1964. They made a film for United Artists; this one was dubbed “Help!” instead of “A Hard Day’s Night.” They recorded a soundtrack and promoted the LP and film on the BBC. In June 1965, they went on a European Tour (just as they had embarked on a World Tour In June 1964). July, they attended the film premiere and gala in London, just as they had done for their first movie the year before. By the end of July, the boys were packing for their 1965 North American Tour (just as they had prepared for the North American Tour in ’64). And John had recently published his second book of poetry and prose in 1965. This one was entitled A Spaniard in the Works, following 1964’s In His Own Write. All of the events and activities had been exhilarating in 1964. But repeating them all again in 1965 lacked luster. And John, who was struggling with staid, married life in the stockbroker belt, was crying out for “Help!” Unfortunately, as he walked through the “shades” of 1965, no one heard him or offered rescue. Join John and the lads for the first half of 1965, the transition year between the Early Beatles (that great stage band!) and The Studio Beatles.
