The Words and Music of Paul McCartney
The Solo Years
Vincent P. Benitez
The Words and Music of Paul McCartney: The Solo Years examines the large and varied oeuvre of this deeply personal artist, showing how McCartney’s stint as a Beatle continues to inform his solo music, as well as how he has transcended his days as a member of the Fab Four. After a biographical introduction, chronologically arranged chapters explore McCartney’s music in the immediate aftermath of the breakup of the Beatles, his work with Wings during the 1970s, his collaborations with other artists during the 1980s, and his compositions of the 1990s, including his first forays into classical music. The examination also covers McCartney’s critically acclaimed work in the first decade of the 21st century, including Memory Almost Full and Ecce Cor Meum, a composition written in the style of sacred English choral music. Throughout, the book supplies analytical insights and historical background to a repertoire that, surprisingly, has not previously been covered in detail.
Title Features:• Includes a chronology of McCartney's music from 1970-2007, complete with biographical information that puts the discussions of the music in perspective• Offers a selected discography and videography of McCartney’s albums, films, and videos since he left The Beatles

'Beatles Deeper Undercover' belongs on every serious Beatle fan's bookshelf
Paperback: 350 pages
Publisher: Collector's Guide Publishing, Inc. (March 1, 2010)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1926592093
ISBN-13: 978-1926592091
http://www.amazon.com/Beatles-Deeper-Undercover-Kristofer-Engelhardt/dp/1926592093/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255626262&sr=1-11
Kristofer Engelhardt's original "Beatles Undercover," published in 1998, has been one of the most used books in our Beatles library. The original book cataloged everything you'd ever want to know about the Beatles' outside musical activities.
Now Engelhardt has written a revised edition, out this month, called "Beatles Deeper Undercover" that updates the original. The new book is actually thinner than the old one (375 pages vs. 523 pages). The difference is the new volume has fewer pictures and a more streamlined layout. But the incredible detail of the original "Beatles Undercover" volume carries over into the new one. However, the CD in the first volume, which featured songs by Dog Soldier, Patrick Jude and Lori Burton that were co-produced by John Lennon, is not in the updated book. (See the slideshow at the bottom for pictures of Engelhardt and various celebrities involved in the book.)
We asked author Engelhardt how the new volume was compiled and here's the full story:
"In 2007 I told my publisher that I had discovered enough new information and contributions by members of The Beatles to other artists’ recordings for a new book or volume two of 'Beatles Undercover,' and they agreed. As I began writing the book, I soon realized that in many cases there was no way to incorporate the new information without having it in the context of the information in the original book. Because of this and because the 550 page 'Beatles Undercover' had been out of print for many years, we decided to incorporate the original material.
"However, because there was about 35 percent new information, my publisher didn’t want to end up with an 800 page book. Therefore, it was decided that I would first see if I could edit down the original book by about half without editing out the critical information or data. This was no easy task. I edited out most of the background information in the biographies of each artist leaving just a snapshot of their careers and focusing in like a laser on the core story of their collaboration with a Beatle. By adopting a different layout, combining information, referencing to other portions of the book or outside sources, and omitting many photographs, I was able to edit the original book down to 200 pages but it required essentially re-writing most of the original book.
"This process took over a year. Then I began adding in the corrections, updates on each artist (chapter) and the new contributions and data. As with the first book, I was successful in contacting most of the new artists in the book for interviews. Due to the reputation of my first book and new technologies (web sites, emails, Skype etc), I was also able to contact many of the artists I wasn't able to contact in the first book. This updating process took another full year.
"By the time I was finished we were up to 375 pages. There aren't nearly as many photos in this edition, but like the first book, with a handful of exceptions, most of the photos in this book are new and have never been published before. What the reader is left with is a much more focused and user friendly book.
"Many of the new collaborations were the result of Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band. I interviewed most of the All-Starr Band members and while each brought a different perspective on the tours and working with Ringo, with one exception, they were unanimous in their praise, appreciation, admiration and respect for Ringo, which speaks volumes. The one exception was Dave Mason who, for the first time, gives his version of why he left the All-Starr Band. Billy Squier (and his constant re-writing of his story) and Eric Carmen's musical frustrations give great insight into the inner workings of the All-Starr band. I found Jack Bruce's experiences of finding that Ringo was still very much trapped by his fame sad. Richard Marx's story about Ringo constantly telling him he was his favorite All-Starr Band member but not to tell the others, and then Ringo shouting this out to Richard later for everyone one in the band to hear, highly amusing. John Waite's initial stage fright and Edgar Winter being reduce to tears (not in the book) after a taped show because his keyboards failed on "Frankenstein," to be very personal moments. (Note from Steve: We especially loved Ian Hunter's story, too.)
"I gained a much greater appreciation from Mortimer, Drew & Dy and Timon as to the frustrations of artists signed to Apple Records. Paul McCartney’s mentoring of the very young and impressionable Lindsay Pagano is nothing short of patronization at it best. Jonell Mosser's telling of the origin of Ringo being in the New Maroons is recounted for the first time. I finally got the bottom of the Carlos Mendes and Jotta Herre story about 'Penina.' Jotta Herre was NOT a Dutch band but the Portuguese band McCartney jammed with at the Penina Hotel in Portugal and who likely recorded the song first.
"Tony Sheridan gave me a complete history and the story behind the recording of his and McCartney's composition 'Tell Me If You Can,' which many people don’t know was officially released several years ago. I got a very detailed story from Hamish Stuart about the recording of his and Paul's composition 'Is It Raining In London?' and why it hasn’t been released. I found Legs Larry Smith's love and protectiveness of the late George Harrison to be very touching.
"TOTO's Steve Lukather's very colorful and heartfelt recollection of working with Paul and Linda, and George Harrison, and how George could fake all of The Beatles' signatures are some of the best stories in the book. I was shocked, as was Eric Burdon, that he didn't know Ringo drummed on his version of "Power To The People." The Crickets' story about trying to order vegetarian food with the McCartneys is precious. McCartney’s cousin, entertainer Ted Robbins, telling me about the public and the private Paul McCartney are most insightful as was his telling of Paul using an old showbiz trick he learned from Ted's father that he has employed many times.
"The two most moving stories were that of Liam Lynch talking about working one-on-one with McCartney at LIPA during the time Linda was battling cancer and how it affected Paul; the other was Stan Perkins recounting an emotional moment with Harrison when he gave him his father Carl's guitar shortly after his death, and Harrison talking to him about his and Carl's battle with cancer. The greatest discovery was that of McCartney writing and recording two songs with a group in Barbados called Ivory. The two songs ("Freedom Land" and "Runaway") were later re-recorded by Ivory, which were released in Barbados only."
Engelhardt says that certain things in the first book were also missed or overlooked. "For example," he wrote us, "For years no one documented that John Lennon joined in the encore playing tambourine on "The Bitch Is Back" during his appearance with Elton John at MSG in 1974. There are photos documenting this."
If you loved the first book, you know what we're talking about when we say this book is a core collection Beatle reference. We highly recommend it.
(Note: The author will be appearing at the Fest For Beatles Fans March 26-28 at the N.J. Crowne Plaza Meadowlands Hotel, Secaucus, N.J.

Where to get a rare Paul McCartney song mentioned in 'Beatles Deeper Undercover'
'The greatest discovery was that of McCartney writing and recording two songs with a group in Barbados called Ivory. The two songs ("Freedom Land" and "Runaway") were later re-recorded by Ivory, which were released in Barbados only.'
We asked author Kristofer Engelhardt and here's the information he sent us:
"'Runaway' was issued on a very limited DVD/CD called 'Nostalgia' on CRS Music-CRSCD093. I would start there. It and 'Freedom Land' are available on the extremely limited album "Print Out", release in Barbados. I found my copy on GEMM. Hope this helps."

Review: 'A Date With a Beatle' is a great little tale of a fan's dream to meet one
One of our favorite Beatle-related movies is "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," the charming tale of a group of Beatle fans who won't let anything stop them in their quest to see the Fabs on "The Ed Sullivan Show." Well, if you liked the bubbly good fun of that film, you'll like Judith Kristen's book "A Date With a Beatle."
The plot centers around a group of female Beatle fans in 1964, one of them named Judy, who plot how to skip school to see the Beatles land at Kennedy Airport without their parents finding out. They later decide to sneak into their hotel to try and see them in person. But Judy has an even bigger idea: She wants to meet George Harrison.
The narrative of the short 171-page book plays like a "chick flick", though guys will find it amusing, too. The descriptive text brings you back to the height of Beatlemania in 1964 and makes the book seem very much like a movie. It's a lot of fun to read.
All that's missing are the screams of the fans in the theater every time a Beatle appears on the screen.

| "Facts and Fiction" вполне себе достойная книга. Изначально вышла 5 лет назад на французском, а прошлой осенью наконец-то появился английский вариант. В нем многое дополнено. Стоит ознакомиться. |

Book Review: Fab Four FAQ 2.0: The Beatles' Solo Years, 1970-1980 by Robert Rodriguez
What were Paul McCartney's most underrated songs? Which George Harrison tunes failed to reach the top ten? How many times did John Lennon appear on The Beatles' solo albums? Which songs include Ringo Starr's best drumming?
Fans who enjoy pondering and debating these questions will find a kindred spirit in Robert Rodriguez, who discusses these topics and more in Fab Four 2.0: The Beatles' Solo Years, 1970-1980. A companion to his previous book, Fab Four FAQ: Everything Left to Know About the Beatles…and More! (co-authored with Stuart Shea), Fab Four FAQ 2.0 focuses on the Beatles' solo years, jam-packed with history, little-known facts, and controversial topics. In his introduction, Rodriguez states that his goal is to create a "quadruple biography" that would be told in stand-alone chapters.

Review: Fab Four FAQ & FAQ 2.0: two books with a different view of the Beatles story
The Beatles' story has been written over and over again. And often in the same way.
The nice thing about "Fab Four FAQ (Everything Left to Know About the Beatles)" by Stuart Shea and Robert Rodriguez, out since 2007, and "Fab Four FAQ 2.0 (The Beatles Solo Years: 1970-1980)," the just-published sequel authored by Rodriguez, is that in them Beatles history becomes different. (See the covers of both books in the slideshow at the bottom of the page.)
Each book takes Beatle history apart and puts it in digest version, and highlights facts, people and topics, not all of them that well-known. It makes the two books quick reference sources and fonts of information.
The original "Fab Four FAQ" discusses the group from the early days until the breakup and covers a wide variety of topics, including the early beginnings of what led to the Beatles, their various labels, when the Beatles made headlines, Beatles' Apple Records stories, unreleased songs, Beatle tribute songs, acts that opened for the Beatles and 10 reasons "Why Paul Must Have Been Dead."
"Fab Four FAQ 2.0" picks up at the Beatles' solo careers with entries on varoious topics including live solo performances, "Beatles Helping Beatles," the Beatles' best solo albums and those not so good, latter-day Beatlemania and some almost Beatle reunions.
Some of the entries are opinionated, but the information and angles on their history are interesting. And though there is so much in each book, either one is easy to pick up for a quick read.
There never will be an end to the Beatles story or probably ways to tell it. "Fab Four FAQ (Everything Left to Know About the Beatles)" and "Fab Four FAQ 2.0 (The Beatles Solo Years: 1970-1980)" find an interesting new way amidst all the old ones. And that's a great reason why these very enjoyable books are welcome additions.

Fab: v. 1: The "Beatles" Biography (Hardcover)
by Mark Lewisohn
Volume one of Mark Lewisohn's epic Beatles biography is released on the 1st September 2011. Pre order now through Amazon!
The Beatles are the cultural phenomeon of our time, arguably - unarguably? - of all time. In addition to their outstanding and clearly timeless music, their influence still pulses around the world in unaccountable aspects of everyday life. FAB has one aim: to be the all-tile standard word on the Beatles. Comprehensive, objective, unexpurgated and the product of definitively deep-level research, it will set down the whole story, easily, in three volumes. Volume One tells the early part of the story in two parts: 'Passion' from 1940-62 discusses the beginnings of the band, and 'Explosion' focuses on 1963, the year when everything changed.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fab-v-1-Beatles-Biography/dp/0316729604/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1272184409&sr=1-1 |
