The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions (ISBN 0-681-03189-1) is a book by Mark Lewisohn, published by Hamlyn (a division of the Octopus Publishing Group), and executively produced by Norman Bates for the record company EMI.

Based mainly on the studio session notes that were made at the time of the recordings, the book recounts the recording sessions held by The Beatles from September 4, 1962, shortly after The Beatles had returned to England from Germany, to their last one, on April 2, 1970, when Let it Be was re-mixed.

The book includes an interview with Paul McCartney and remarks by the other Beatles John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, by producers George Martin and Phil Spector, and by some of the session musicians that performed on The Beatles’ songs.

The 204 page book was first produced in 1988 by EMI in Europe, printed and bound in China and produced, also in 1988, by Toppan for the Asian market and by Harmony for the United States. In 2004, it was re-produced by EMI to be sold at other markets worldwide.
