Lewisohn's Book
-
I'm ok with all this. I know how the story ends.
-
We do too, but have you read part one? It is absolutely, bar none, the best Beatles biography ever written. Plus, Mark adds details we've never heard before (especially in the unabridged version) The quality of his writing is impeccable too--so interesting the way it flows. Add to that the lack of typos and factual errors that have been in every other Beatles bio I've read, and that is why I can't wait to read parts 2 & 3!

He's not a young man himself!!! Perhaps he should speed this up a bit..
Agreed!
-
I would rather see Part 2 of Mark's book than another Paul McCartney remaster!! Does anybody know if it will be released this year or next? Part 1 came out in 2013 FFS!

Part 2 is still on schedule for 2020 with part 3 presently set for 2028.

The is f-ing ridiculous to take another 7 years, when in 2013 he said he was 40% finished with part 2! Lord, I'll be 73 when Part 3 comes out!!

Excellent new radio interview with Mark Lewisohn can be heard at this link: http://talkradio.co.uk/late-night-alternative-iain-lee The bad news is that part 2 0f his Beatles book looks like its being pushed back to 2021 or even 2022.

Well, what was the Unabridged Part I, like 2,000 pages? And all that research and interviewing. So I guess that's not that long to wait. But yeah, a lot of us may be reading Part III in wheelchairs and retirement homes methinks!

Did you read the unabridged version Beatlesfanrandy?
-
In 2013 he said he was 40% done with part 2!! The other 60% takes 8 or 9 years?! Hell, Lewisohn is 59! We'll be lucky if he lives long enough to finish part 3!

Probably mid fifties for me, assuming that the schedule holds without any delays.

Also, will he even touch on the solo years at all?

We'd all be dead by then.

Probably! I'd have to live to 100 and Lewisohn would have to live to 97 at the rate he's going! :

No, Mark has always made it clear that the third book will end when the Beatles broke up in 1970.
