An absolutely fantastic book. He's the man (Sorry Joe!) and I wholeheartedly recommend the book, with 1 asterik; wait until his first volume is out. That way, Those of us who have read both can alert you if you are buying redundantly or not.

I know, but For starters I want to go Cover to cover. How on earth did Lewisohn get this much info?

What I meant is you can pick it up and if you then have to put it down you can just pick up where you left off anytime after - do you get me? I keep these kind of books in the bathroom for obvious reasons......and then I get "how much longer are you going to be in there for?"

Ok, I got it Yesterday, and Here are some first thoughts.

1. Holy Cow it is Big.

2. The Cover Picture Sucks

3. It would be hard to read it cover to cover, but I`m going to anyway

4. I`m only up to 1960, but It was Definetely worth buying

5. Lewisohn admits when he`s not sure of a day, which I admire.

Lewisohn's got a reputation (deserved or not) among some as a kind of fanboy ass-kisser. So it's refreshing to see that TCBC includes the occasional bit of negativism, for a better sense of impartiality. Among other things, he takes them to task for the undignified dismissal of Pete Best, the whole "Magical Mystery Tour" debacle, and for allowing their performing skills to deteriorate to an "all-time low" by 1966.

The great thing about his books are:

1. they are very extensive and long (which is brilliant)

2. You can pick them up and put them down at will. Read one page, read twenty - it doesn't mattter.

You will be spending money on something you wished you had years ago - I PROMISE

Lewisohn books are the best, by far, along with Walter Everett books.
