The Beatles v The Rolling Stones – THE RIVALRY CONTINUES!!!
In 2023, we have a new Rolling Stones LP, “Hackney Diamonds”, and a new Beatles track, “Now and Then.”
The whirlwind that began in 1964 may have subsided but it has never come to an end. Enjoy Martin Orkin’s new second volume of his sold out limited edition book “Rivals of the Beatles.” Here are the details of Volume 2:
Coming very soon: Rivals Of The Beatles 2!!
Rivals Of The Beatles
In early 2021 Martin Orkin self-published his first book, Rivals Of The Beatles in a limited numbered first edition of 500 copies. Martin’s book told the fascinating detailed stories of 20 of the groups who competed with The Beatles during that magical 1960s era. But he also showed the influence that The Beatles had on each of them: groups like The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Dave Clark Five and The Monkees. Rivals Of The Beatlescame in a glossy, hardbound cover, and contained over 800 pages. These were sewn-in, not glued, to ensure that no pages would ever fall out, no matter how much each copy was read. This was a book to treasure – and keep!
Rivals Of The Beatles 2
Martin’s first book was incredibly well received by its readership and has recently sold out. So it’s just as well that his new follow-up book, Rivals Of The Beatles 2 is coming along very soon, to fill the gap! Rivals 2 continues with the same theme as before, of telling the intriguing tales of more of the music acts who were at their peak in the 1960s, or slightly after.
This time around, 10 more groups are covered. These feature several music acts that would have been in Martin’s first book, only he ran out of space: The Who, The Animals, The Doors and Badfinger. To this renowned collection Martin has added a further six names, including Simon & Garfunkel, Love, The Small Faces and….Queen!

Rivals Of The Beatles 2 will again have a limited first edition of 500 numbered copies. It will contain 528 pages and will again be presented in a glossy hardbound volume – with sewn-in pages.

Fan of The Beatles since late December 1963 when I first heard “I Want To Hold Your Hand” on the radio. I was 8 years old then. Never was a Rolling Stone fan – only have their 45 “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” and saw them once in concert in the ‘90s. Sound was terrible in the (since demolished) Georgia Dome.
