4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting & Informative, But Not Unbiased, November 16, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: McCartney: Yesterday ... and Today (Hardcover)

As with all of Ray Coleman's books, this one is accurate and informative, but somewhat irritating in its obvious adoration of McCartney. Still a definitive account of the history of one of the most famous songs of all time. Also, it includes a comprehensive account of how Paul McCartney lost the chance to get the rights to the Lennon/McCartney songs when he was outbid by a former collaborator, Michael Jackson. A must-read for any Beatles fan, for this information if for nothing else.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointment, November 2, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: McCartney: Yesterday ... and Today (Hardcover)

After reading other Coleman books I expected to read something new and informative about Paul McCartney. Instead I was spoonfed a repetitive and boring story of the development of the song "Yesterday". Pass on this one - it's definitely not worth the money.
