5.0 out of 5 stars A great book about 4 great musicians and 4 great songwriters., March 19, 2010

This review is from: Beatles Deeper Undercover (Paperback)

Kris Englehardt's new book, Beatles Deeper Undercover, gives Beatle fans a fascinating look into the unfettered musical lives of these four gifted musicians and songwriters.

Englehardt's passion for The Beatles flies off the pages as he delves into each studio session, live performance and songwriting collaboration. His investigative journalism is concise and his breadth of knowledge concerning the history of British and American Pop, Rock, Blues and Jazz is outstanding.

After reading this book I am amazed as to how these four musicians from Liverpool, who literally changed the world, found the time to jam and collaborate with such a diverse cast of singers, musicians and songwriters.

Thanks Kris - for another great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant. Massive., March 31, 2010

This review is from: Beatles Deeper Undercover (Paperback)

A brilliant job, a massive undertaking. There are so few books regarding the Beatles that literally start on the 7th floor, bypassing the mandatory lobby summations of Hamburg, Martin's Goon Show experiences, Epstein's sexuality, Shea, etc... Kristofer once again packs an insane amount of detail in for the reader while managing to keep all this uncharted territory fascinating for the novice and connoisseur alike.

Books like this are the future of Rock writing. The 400 page biography adds so little in 2010 that it's the specific, the "niche" collections that further thought, discussion -- and ultimately -- history. I recommend this book to anyone who's hip enough to realize that the Beatles didn't "end" with the finale of 'Abbey Road.'

This review is from: Beatles Deeper Undercover (Paperback)

I have just finished reading Kristofer Engelhardt's new book. I loved it. Not only is it interesting but it is a great reference book.It's a bit more compact, easy to follow and Kris has still managed to include a good collection of photos.I can recommend this book for the novice & serious Beatles collector alike. I often wondered what John, Paul, George & Ringo did in their spare time. It's all here!
