![]() ![]() If you’re only mildly interested, then you can probably do without it. If you’re absolutely fascinated by the Beatles and want an utterly definitive biography, this is the book for you (although even someone as interested in them as myself can find it occasionally a little creepy to know quite that much about a stranger’s life). ![]() Knowing that, along with the fact that Mark Lewisohn is a scrupulously accurate researcher (I only found one error in the whole book - a persistent misspelling of The Tremeloes as The Tremiloes), will tell you if this is the kind of book you want. There is an extended edition available which contains “hundreds of thousands of words” of extra material. My copy runs to 803 pages of fairly small type, plus a further 129 pages of endnotes, index, etc.Īnd it ends on January 1, 1963, at the point where they only had one single out.Īnd what I have is the “standard edition”. It’s volume one of a projected three-volume biography of the Beatles. Possibly the simplest review is simply to describe it. Mark Lewisohn’s latest book on the Beatles is almost impossible to review sensibly. ![]()
