Every year there’s like a little book fair in the town and I always go and buy a book, this time I bought a bilingual one with In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works. Here it’s a bit difficult to find Beatles merchandise (my aunt Santa Claus told me it was difficult to find a Beatles t-shirt) so finding both of them it’s like finding the Holy Grail.
They also had a comic book that, literally, it would be “The Beatles’ Little Book” or something like that, but my mum told me it costed like 35 dollars (I don’t really believe it was that expensive, but, who knows). I saw some pages and it seems very good, I just hope it’s a bit cheaper and the Three Wise Men will give it to me the 6th of January (it’s a celebration we have in Spanish countries, it’s like Christmas, but with the Three Wise Men who come in camels).

Just finished Ivor Davis’ book ‘The Beatles and Me On Tour’ (Christmas present). Quick read at about 300 pages, but it was fun. Another perspective. An English reporter living in Hollywood before their arrival in 1964 and then getting assigned to their tour entourage. He took over ghosting Harrison’s Daily Express column from Derek Taylor during the tour. Not a fact or trivia book, just a guy telling his memories.
Well… nothing else on the shelf, so it’s back into Lewisohn’s book… for the 4th time.

Offline I’ve just received ‘You Never Give Me Your Money : The Battle for the Soul of The Beatles’ in the post, and downloaded the 2014 ebook update of ‘The Unreleased Beatles’ thru iTunes. On their way in the post are the 2006 edition of ‘The Unreleased Beatles’, i couldn’t just have a computerised version of it, and ‘Starting Over: The Making of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s Double Fantasy ‘ on the basis of @mjb and @Joe recommendation of it (it was going ridiculously cheap). If i don’t like the latter i’m emailing them for my money back.

Getting a used copy of a book I used to have, Thank U Very Much which is a fantastic memoir by Mike McCartney. Recently finished Here There And Everywhere by Geoff Emerick and currently ploughing through The Beatles As Musicians. I used to have The Love You Make by Peter Brown (paperback fell apart and I don’t miss it), and I have Ian MacDonald’s Revolution In The Head and Peter Doggetts You Never Give Me Your Money (best Beatles book in years). I have plans to acquire the Hunter Davies book on the Beatles lyrics and a book called Paul McCartney – Bassmaster which looks fun.

but I may have to get more specific in the future.

Offline Thank you for the welcome, @Ahhh Girl. Yeap, I’ve been quite away for some time but i’m here now. I forgot one and important book (one of the best,i think): Revolution In The Head, by Ian MacDonald. Such a piece of work.

Offline I recently read Ivor Davis’ “The Beatles and Me on Tour” as well and enjoyed it. One of the little details I thought was kinda fun is that he included the name of every hotel on the tours. Touring was really different in those days – lots of times the places they stayed were those relatively small motor inns out by the airports, not the upscale 4-5 star hotels that top caliber bands stay at today. Pretty depressing places, actually. One of the old motels in the Midwest (Milwaukee, I think) is now used as a university dorm.
Next up for me is Dennis Alstrand’s “The Beatles and their Revolutionary Bass Player,” which oddly enough is about Ringo (okay, not really 
).

Offline sorry, haven’t readed all the post in the topic, they are too much! i have my books upstairs so i will mention only the ones i remember at the moment. wich, i suppose, are the best, between them.
many years from now
anthology
postcard from the boys
i think it’s forbidden not to get these!
most are unuseful, repeating all the same old stories…some others infamous (albert goldman’s) others very important: lewinsohn’s recording session is a must (8 anni a Abbey Road in italian)…beatles solo-bob woffinden, maybe the first look in the post 70…ringo starr: straight man or joker?, the only drummer’s biography…still the greatest, a deep investigation in the solo years…the beatles off the record, keith badman,: lost or less known interviews…the beatles after the break up, badman: a day by day recognition until 2000…While My Guitar Gently Weeps , simon leng: maybe the best about George (i’m waiting to read Mystical one)

Offline uh…i forgot Unterberger’s Beatles unreleased, another must.
meanwhile i readed the ringo starr encyclopedia by bill harry. it lasts til 10 years ago so misses much things but is alphabetically ordered and exhaustive. and wrote by an insider and friend
i’m reading now You Never Give Me Your Money , a valid look in the post 70, maybe the best. very accurate

Offline @Joe, i haven’t went thru and matched entries up or had a right deep down analysis so no idea about corrections (if ever needed) but the updated ‘Unreleased Beatles’ includes proper updates and not a few notes and additions here and there that look like they were done in 20 minutes one Sunday afternoon whilst bored and nothing else to do.
Examples are that the ’66 Memphis Cherry Bomb concert is now covered as is RM20 of ‘Revolution 1 ‘ and the 2013 released BBC, studio and demo tracks are noted and commented on if required. It also covers the solo 1970 outtakes that have since surfaced on various releases (Paul’s ‘Archive Collection’–, John’s ‘Signature Box’).
I’ll use the paper copy far more often than the ebook as i only have an ipod which makes it more of a pain flicking thru but in my opinion the update is well worth having, especially as its only £6 + so many pence.
