COVER STORY: THE BEATLES How the upcoming Get Back films, and a brand new audio package, will make you rethink Let It Be, the album and its context. With Paul McCartney, Peter Jackson, Glyn Johns, Michael Lindsay-Hogg and more.

CHARLIE WATTS R.I.P. In-depth tribute to the eternal gentleman who made the Stones roll. Plus: an intimate encounter and an exploration of Charlie’s greatest beats.

GENESIS Exclusive interviews with Mike, Tony and Phil. How they survived Peter Gabriel’s exit to become stadium stars. Why their latest tour is likely their last.

TORI AMOS From piano prodigy to subversive star to cultdom in Cornwall, she’s gone her own way: “Just because you can fill a slot, doesn’t mean that you should...”

THE METERS The New Orleans funk pioneers thrived on telepathy and fell out over business. Now lost music from their midst is a reminder of their bewitching genius.

PATTI SMITH Her irresistible rise, punk rock, Dylan and Hendrix, by bandmate Lenny Kaye. An extract from his new book about rock’s most incandescent flashpoints.

PRIMAL SCREAM Thirty years on, how Screamadelica got on one, turned ‘indie’ upside down... but exacted a high price. “It goes to show just how fragile we all are.”

ENDLESS BOOGIE The rock riff as atavistic prayer, as mastered by an über-record junkie and his pals. “It’s crude,” they tell David Fricke, “and very difficult to do.”

REVIEWED The War On Drugs / Joni Mitchell / My Morning Jacket / Circuit Des Yeux / Bob Dylan / Parquet Courts / Hawkwind / Nancy Sinatra / Howlin Rain / Brandi Carlile / Grateful Dead / Elvis Costello / Small Faces / Clinic / Billy Bragg / Shannon Lay / The Charlatans / Neil Young / Shane MacGowan / The Velvet Underground
