5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate Chronicle, 16 Oct 1999

By A Customer

It's really the Best book about the Beatles recordings. Many other authors have made great jobs. Most of them worked on available bootlegs, but EMI allowed Mark Lewisohn to listen to the Abbey Road masters and mixes. Therefore, his work is no guess.

5.0 out of 5 stars encyclopaedic, but not dull, 26 May 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete "Beatles" Chronicle: The Only Definitive Guide to the "Beatles'" Entire Career (Paperback)

If anyone wants to know the Beatles story, they should read this tremendous monument to the group. Granted, there is no real detail about the artistry of each song (for that, look to Ian MacDonald's marvellous "Revolution in the Head"), nor is there much biographical and psychological detail about the four individual members (Hunter Davies' or Philip Norman's biographies of the band are a safe bet here). However, Lewisohn's weighty tome gives such a detailed chronicle of the band's entire career, that it is easy to feel as if you are reliving it and experiencing it for yourself.

Certainly, it explodes the myths somewhat, and the reader is left under no illusions that the group's countless wonderful songs simply floated from the ether, fully-formed.

It would have been nice to have had more information about how and when the songs were written, and a bit of biography would have been a bonus (for instance, Brian Epstein's homosexuality is only mentioned once, rather gauchely, when this was clearly central to the personality of a man who so shaped and influenced the band). Sometimes Lewisohn can be somewhat over-polite, and may fail occasionally to capture the fact that really, the Beatles were much rougher than their image often suggests.

However, all of this is minor quibbles when one realises just how much Lewisohn has achieved here - as a comprehensive record of the group's studio and concert career, it could hardly be bettered, and as a chronicle of the group's Liverpool and Hamburg days, it is highly impressive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beatle-Brained Extravaganza!, 7 Jun 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete "Beatles" Chronicle: The Only Definitive Guide to the "Beatles'" Entire Career (Paperback)

This is the most comprehensive book dealing with all aspects of The Beatles' legendary career; on stage and in the recording studio, as well as on TV, radio and the big screen. Everything is documented here, assembled in fascinating and meticulous fashion by the world's leading Beatle Brain, and the result is -- as John Lennon would have described it -- woodwork to perform. An absolutely marvelous book, not least for some fascinating quotes by Fab Four producer George Martin that are indicative of sublime expertise on the part of the interviewer...
