The summer of 1967 was the summer of love and psychedelia; its soundtrack was The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, still regarded by many as the greatest album in modern music.

The limited edition book Summer of Love is George Martin’s detailed account of the writing and recording of each song on the Sgt. Pepper album – as well as ‘Strawberry Fields’, ‘Penny Lane’ and ‘All You Need Is Love’.

With an updated text, exquisite new artwork and photography throughout. Summer of Love boasts a lavish leather binding and an original Introduction by Sir George, who is hand-signing every book.

‘Martin gives a unique insight into the way he and the band worked. The book is lavishly produced.’ Financial Times
