![]() ![]() ![]() Everything is dated and catalogued and nothing is regarded as trivial where previous biographers might mention an incident in a brief aside (say, Paul and George heading off on a hitchhiking holiday) or, far more likely, omit it entirely, Lewisohn tells you when they went, where they went, who they met and what they probably did. Lewisohn’s approach is to leave no stone unturned and no incident unexplored. ![]() Known from his early twenties as “Beatles Brain of Britain,” he’s already written at least two essential works of Fabs scholarship ( The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions and The Complete Beatles Chronicle), and All These Years, as the complete biography is titled, seems destined to be the definitive word on its subject - and when you consider how oft-trammelled this subject has been, that’s saying something. It’s author, Mark Lewisohn, has ostensibly been researching the book for the past decade, but anyone familiar with him knows he’s been building up to this work for his whole life. It’s the first installment of a long-promised three-part biography that may well be the most ambitious work ever written about any popular musicians. If you’re a Beatles fan, you’ve probably heard of Tune In, or been waiting for it for years and snapped it up the second it hit the shelf. ![]()
