[Commlist] The Journal of Beatles Studies (Volume 1, Issue 1) published open access

/The Journal of Beatles Studies 
<https://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/journals/id/113/>/(JBS), is 
a brand-new fully open access journal published by Liverpool University 
Press in association with the University of Liverpool 
<https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/arts/> and MA The Beatles, Music Industry 
and Heritage 
<https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/study/postgraduate-taught/taught/beatles-ma/overview/>. 


Co-edited by Dr Holly Tessler (University of Liverpool) and Paul Long 
(Monash University), the journal provides a voice to new and emerging 
research locating the Beatles in new contexts, groups and communities 
from within and beyond academic institutions.

The theme of this premier issue is ‘Navigating and Narrating the 
Beatles: Establishing a Research Agenda for the 21st Century’.

Contributions explore how, why and through what means the Beatles are 
both subject and object of critical study.

Articles seek to understand Beatles scholarship as a means through which 
we can begin to answer the question of why the Beatles have remained a 
cultural constant, the focus of continuous evaluation and re-evaluation 
for more than half a century.

"What both 'Get Back' and Paul’s headlining gig evidence is that even 
more than 50 years after their breakup, the Beatles remain a musical and 
cultural phenomenon. Perhaps somewhat counterintuitively, cultural and 
scholarly fascination with the Beatles has not diminished but flourished 
over time".

- Co-Editors Holly Tessler and Paul Long

"Paul McCartney may have once said “The Beatles were always a great 
little band. Nothing more nothing less,” but that isn’t the full story. 
Built on once-in-a-century talent, and sitting at the epicentre of 
cultural change, The Beatles’ influence and importance continues to 
inspire serious study".

- Anthony Cond, Chief Executive, Liverpool University Press
