  The Beatles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After The Beatles' huge success in 1964, Vee-Jay Records and Swan Records took advantage of their previously secured rights to The Beatles' early recordings and reissued the songs that they had rights to, which all reached the top ten of the charts the second time around.
While most recording artists of the time were using two, three or four tracks in the studio, The Beatles had to use linked pairs of four-track decks, and ping-ponging tracks two, and even three times, became common.
Early in their recording career the drums usually were recorded with only two microphones: one overhead (an AKG D19 or STC 4038) and one for the bass drum (such as an AKG D20).

 The Beatles Diary by Barry Miles | PopMatters Book Review
Miles was a member of the Beatles' inner circle and had known the band intimately since 1965 and is thus eminently qualified to undertake such a mammoth task.
As its title implies, The Beatles Diary seeks to chronicle the crucial events in the lives of the Beatles and in terms of the first volume, despite Miles' dogged insistence of keeping commentary to a minimum, this book is never as dry as expected.
Volume 2 is a unique proposition no doubt, with its stated objective to account for the post-Beatles years on the premise that 'the Beatles had never really gone away'.
