i assume that's on the POB reissue box that is coming out (or came out? lost track).
― akm, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 22:43 (three years ago) link
Yes, I assume so. A few of these have dropped over the past few weeks (I think the POB reissue comes out 4/26?). The footage found for this video of "Look at Me" is p cool:

That Give Peace.. video has a *5K* setting! Can anyone's PC actually cope with that? Mine struggles going above the 1080.
xxxxxp oh yeah Tune In is a revelation no argument there, i'm very glad it exists.
― piscesx, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 23:47 (three years ago) link
Tune In is brilliant. That said, I feel no obligation to read it front to back. I think I just randomly started at some point in the middle, read to the end, then read the bit at the start I skipped over which worked perfectly well, knowing the general Beatles arc well. Felt just fine to go back and examine pre-war Liverpool, Ringo's grandfather's hats, etc after getting through their childhoods.

It def bears reading start to finish imoThe thing that is impressive is it immerses you in their individual upbringings so well that I caught myself wondering IF they would meet, not when lol its exhaustively long but giving their bios room to breathe is such a gift in terms of learning new info when they’ve seemingly already been done to death

I don't know why I bother asking any more but did Lewisohn ever give a clue as to when volume 2 is coming out? 2054?

When he’s 64

tbf, he’s focusing his time and energy on interviewing as many sources as possible — for this and future volumes — as a number of potential first-hand sources passed away just prior to, and during, the writing of Tune In (Neil Aspinall and Geoff Emerick, to name two).

xpost - I get the joke, but considering he’ll turn 63 in a couple months, I’d be happy with that deadline

― Alba, Tuesday, 20 April 2021 02:15 (three years ago) link
I think the last interview I heard he said “definitely not 2021 or 2022, possibly 2023 but don’t hold your breath”

volume 2 is probably just 63-64
― brimstead, Friday, 23 April 2021 02:53 (three years ago) link
He's going to skip straight to "Spies Like Us".

Volume 2 will go up to ‘66 if memory serves. I was thinking Candlestick Park (August ‘66) would be an unbeatable ending for the ‘second act’.
― piscesx, Friday, 23 April 2021 04:08 (three years ago) link
Yeah, Lewisohn originally said volume 2 would include '66, but given the unbelievable amount of detail in volume 1 -- a period for the Beatles with relatively minuscule documentation in terms of newspaper stories and such -- I can see volume 2 only going as far as '64 or maybe '65. He has so much more to work with, and sift through, post-'62 in terms of available materials. And that's in addition to the interviews he's conducting; there's a lot more people involved with the Beatles after '62.

He’s said it would be 3 volumes in total, so difficult to see how he could cram 65-70 in one volume based on how he approached their early career.
― Dan Worsley, Friday, 23 April 2021 16:05 (three years ago) link
Or even 66-70.
― Dan Worsley, Friday, 23 April 2021 16:06 (three years ago) link
That's where I am, if he stops at '64 or '65, that would be an absolute ton for volume 3.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 23 April 2021 16:06 (three years ago) link
volume 2 does come w a wheelbarrow so
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 23 April 2021 16:07 (three years ago) link
iirc volume 3 will come with a lectern to support the weight

the twist is that he views the Beatles as having ceased to exist in 1966 due to Paul’s death, which takes up the majority of Vol 3.
― JoeStork, Friday, 23 April 2021 16:37 (three years ago) link
LOLHe initially projected it at 3 volumes & he hasn’t changed his tune yet but there was an interview somewhere where he floated the possibility that it would end up being 4 volumes to the end of the band... and speculated about a post-breakup volume also

Peter Doggett's You Never Give Me Your Money is a compact exploration of their lives after the split, that conveys a lot of the emotional ties and barriers between the members post-1970. You have to be willing to allow him to refer to Ringo as "Starkey" throughout, however.

When I worked in the newsroom of the British Library, Mark Lewisohn was in there all the time, ordering copies of the Bootle News & Journal from March 1963 or whatever.
― Authoritarian Steaks (Tom D.), Friday, 23 April 2021 17:59 (three years ago) link
You Never Give Me Your Money is great - but also kind of a bummer.

Kind of ultimately depressing to read about and yet since we already knew something was up might as well get the unvarnished truth.

It's because the copyright has lapsed. They still have to pay publishing charges though.
Something like that, anyway

what a weird hodgepodge of stuff. most of that is, I'm quite certain, already available. I wish there's be a really comprehensive set of lapsed copyright releases that make sense and don't make a jumble of their contents.
