[Commlist] The Journal of Beatles Studies: New issue published

Liverpool University Press is pleased to inform you of the latest Open 
Access issue of /THE JOURNAL OF BEATLES 
STUDIES/<https://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/journal/jbs>.

Published in association with the *University of 
Liverpool*<https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/arts/>, the journal is the first 
to establish The Beatles as an object of academic research, and 
publishes original, rigorously researched essays and notes, as well as 
book and media reviews.

Articles in the Spring 2024 
issue<https://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/toc/jbs/2024/Spring>address 
the ‘Hamburg period’ of the Beatles’ history; how the contemporary press 
has treated Paul McCartney’s recollections of how the Beatles became 
politically conscious in the 1960s; new perspectives on one of the 
Beatles’ most maligned recordings, ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer’; and the 
role of leadership in underpinning the creativity and cohesion of the band.

The latest Across the Universe section provides an introduction to the 
work and ideas of French cultural theorist and commentator Pacôme 
Thiellement. This is a preface to a translation from the French of a key 
chapter from Thiellement’s book of 2002, ‘Poppermost: Considérations sur 
la mort de Paul McCartney’ [‘Poppermost: Thoughts on the Death of Paul 
McCartney’].

The issue closes with reviews of the latest books. Gina Arnold 
reviews ‘Blackbird: How Black Musicians Sang the Beatles into Being’ by 
Katie Kapurch and Jon Marc Smith, an important new work that examines 
the band’s relationship with black music; Marlie Centawer considers 
Deirdre Kelly’s ‘Fashioning the Beatles’; and Christian Lloyd reports on 
‘Living the Beatles Legend: The Untold Story of Mal Evans/’/ by Kenneth 
Womack. Finally, Ben Winsworth reads James McGrath and Peter Mills’s 
edited collection ‘The Beatles in Perspective: A Carnival of Light’.
