4.0 out of 5 stars Oh Yoko!, 25 Jun 2005
By R. N. Owen (FERNDALE, MID GLAMORGAN United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Magical Mystery Tours: My Life with the Beatles (Hardcover)
Nice addition to the mountain of books on The Beatles now decimating forests across the world. Tony knew them before they were famous, before they formed the band and before they learned to play. Entertaining memoir with some anecdotes of the early years which haven't seen the light of day until now. The only downer for me was the relentless attack on Yoko Ono. Beginning at her first appearance in the story, it never lets up. Despite the Yoko-bashing, a recommended read for Beatle fiends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rare Gem of a Beatle Book - Advanced Beatle History, 23 Jul 2005
By BeatleBangs1964 (United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Magical Mystery Tours: My Life with the Beatles (Hardcover)
I love this book. This is a refreshing Beatle biography, from the standpoint of someone who literally grew up with the Beatles and socialized with them from boyhood. A gifted raconteur, Bramwell draws readers into a "sense" of each Beatle as a boy; what it was like to have George Harrison have dinner at your table; to witness George pulling a very dangerous stunt as a boy and being warned about John's questionable influence on his peers.

Bramwell does a stellar job of portraying a part of musical/artistic/cultural history that will no doubt delight inveterate Beatle fans, but attract the attention of those either becoming familiar with the Beatles or who have an interest in history in general. This book is really geared for all ranging from the "advanced" Beatle fan; that is, one who has a strong background in Beatle knowledge to people wanting to learn more about them and bring them to a high level of Beatle information.

This inveterate, avid Beatles' fan gives this work a hearty endorsement and a yeah, yeah, yeah!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beatles book worth getting, 29 Jan 2008
By Mr. K. B. Pell Pell (Leicestershire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Magical Mystery Tours: My Life with the Beatles (Hardcover)
As all the fans know there are loads of books out there raking over the same old story. This one does to an extent but it also brings up other stories not heard before, not by me at any rate. I would agree with other reviewers that there is a lot of Yoko bashing and that does get a bit tiring after a bit, Tony really does not like the woman!
However, for Beatle buffs it's a great addition and well worth getting for the 'untold' stories and anecdotes.

Tony Bramwell, may well be one of those with a great long term memory. He manages to keep the reader interested in the bits of history we already know. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Bluff and entertaining, but narrow-minded and shoddy
Tony Bramwell, his co-author and his publishers make great play of the idea that he was part of the Beatles' "inner circle". Read more
