The Beatles - All These Years Volume 1. - Interview with Mark Lewisohn

If you are interested in The Beatles, then I suspect you will be interested in the forthcoming book by Mark Lewisohn. It is to be spread over three rather large volumes and as I have previously reported, the first volume is due out this October.

Thanks to a friend (cheers John), I have learned about an interview conducted with Lewisohn by Ken Michaels. This is now available to hear in ten parts on the following website.

Among the subjects covered are:

• The firing of Pete Best
• The Lennon/McCartney songwriting partnership
• Controversy regarding certain songs
• George Harrison's frustrations
• The biggest reason for The Beatles breakup.

I can heartily recommend this interview as Lewisohn reveals some fascinating insights, though he is obviously careful not to give away too much of what is included in the book.

Give it a listen and see what you think.
