Both are brilliant and as an author he is da bomb!<br /><br />I've got Cynthia Lennon's book on the shelf which I think is going to be enough in the pathetic/depressing stakes for now...Matt Blickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07532287235128200046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760552334873962879.post-20133505950770230112010-07-13T15:25:37.680+01:002010-07-13T15:25:37.680+01:00A couple others to add to your pile.

And Mark Lewisohn wrote an excellent book that chronicles all the Beatles live performances, but I believe it's out of print.Gary Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706829446650410906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1760552334873962879.post-39193591641963667322010-07-12T20:58:06.299+01:002010-07-12T20:58:06.299+01:00I've heard good things about the Hunter Davies...I've heard good things about the Hunter Davies one and it's on my list.

I recall it being an enjoyable read, but I cannot vouch for its accuracy. Suppposedly, he was the only writer that was authorized by The Beatles themselves to accompany them in the studio and in their homes.Gary Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706829446650410906noreply@blogger.com
