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.

Wow! He must have a sheetload of material, sources.

The problem is that in order to cover the solo Beatles, he'd have to write about 47 years of Paul's career, 47 years of Ringo's, 10 years for John and 31 years for George . That's a grand total of 135 years of music and events to write about. And he's already taking forever to write the combined 115 Beatles years !!!

You forgot to mention all the detail he goes into on each of their ancestors (especially in the unabridged version - hundreds of more years!)

Yes,that's very true although thankfully there wasn't too many pages devoted to the ancestors.

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.
Someone should tell Mark there are inventions called book writing software & a laptop that are available these days.

Last night I was listening to a podcast (from last November) which featured a Q&A session with Mark Lewisohn and according to Mark its now unlikely that the second installment of Tune In will be completed in time for 2020. So we're now looking at 2021, possibly 2022.

That is ridiculous! In 2013 he said he was 40% done with part 2! Then it takes another 8 or 9 years?!

Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it), the publication of the first book brought in a lot of new leads that needed to be followed up and Mark did make a point of saying that he's not prepared to cut corners. It seems that its the ongoing research that is taking the time as he doesn't think he'll start writing the book for another year. Also, Vol 3 is going to be about 10 years away.
Here's the link to the podcast which is overall a very interesting listen.

Oh Goodness! 10 years for Vol 3? So in his time it'll probably be at least 15-20 years. HAHAHA!

Now when you want it clickable just click on the little icon up there that looks like a link of a chain. Everything you do on this new board takes MORE steps than before. Now that's progress! Hey...maybe Mark is taking care of this place!

You're welcome. Before when you'd type in a link it would automatically be a link. Now...not so much.
