{"product_id":"to-the-toppermost-of-the-scott-robinson-9798283031989","title":"To the Toppermost of the Poppermost: The #1 Hits of the Beatles, Before the Break-Up","description":"The beauty of what John, Paul, George and Ringo accomplished is more in the quality than the quantity, though quantity there certainly is (28 #1 hits? How many artists could get even close to that?). And it wasn't just a question of craftsmanship (with George Martin, they raised that bar almost to the ceiling), or even variety (no other band or artist comes anywhere close to their stylistic range). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNo, the brain food is found in their tendency - their need - to innovate. The Beatles couldn't sit still, creatively; every time they walked into the studio, they tried something new, and didn't much care whether that something new would end up being trendy, or break any rules, or rub somebody the wrong way. If it hadn't been done before, it went from maybe to must - or as Paul often said, \"Gotta have it!\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd that's the point: these twenty-eight masterworks, already inherently self-justifying, each present us with something new, something special, something the Beatles (and, usually, no one else) had never done before. Whether in the lyrics, the composition, the performance, the studio technique, or the accomplishment within the music industry, every single single on this list gives us something unique, something for our brains to chew on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Robinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798283031989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.41d","brand":"Scott Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48851052658943,"sku":"9798283031989","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/to-the-toppermost-of-the-scott-robinson-9798283031989","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
