I'm assuming you've already perused this (incredible) site? If not, then you'll be delighted to read through the list of all those little bits and bobs.

Also got the John C Winn books at Christmas which sparked an larger interest plus with Rock Band coming out more people are looking deeper into the recordings. Its fascinating to see how the songs developed and how much work went into a 2 1/2 minute song.

I think its $100 + p&p which will be around £65. What kind of things does it cover RP, i cant gather much from the samples apart from it looks very indepth - which is good.

It's so accurate. It's a big book, comes with some stuff, but it's rather expensive. But it's really wonderful. It says so much.

At times Revolution in the Head is different to Lewisohn which is different to John C Winn (The Beatles Recorded Legacy volumes 1 + 2).

Thanks in advance for any help, even if the answer is there isnt one.
