5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just the Beatles-Sid Bernstein, March 4, 2001
By wayne greenberg (Brooklyn, new york United States) - See all my reviews
If you are a beatles fan you must read this book. Sid takes us behind the scenes with many stories about the beatles and the concerts (shea,carnegie hall),and his encounters with them over the years. He also shares his life with us from the his years in the war to his roots in the promotion-manager area. Sid was responsible for such artists as the Rascals,Tony bennett,abba,& many others. If you love music this book is a nice look at these artists and how they were represented and in many cases what has happened to them. All well written thanks to Arthur Arron's great translation of sids stories. Sid is a warm sincere guy and this book is like sitting down over a cup of coffe and danish and having him tell it all to you..Thats how comfortable and easy going it is.. A MUST READ FOR ANY BEATLES OR MUSIC LOVER.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sid Bernstein is the world's best kept secret!, February 5, 2001
By Brad Howard (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
Arthur Aaron has captured all the elements of Sid Bernstein's life. In fact, his story reads like a Hollywood motion picture: Sid's humble beginnings on the streets of New York, his early love for quality entertainment, Sid's devotion to his loving parents and family, WWII, his uncanny abilities to discover and promote talent and offer it to an eagerly awaiting world, Sid's promotion of The Beatles at Carnegie Hall and Shea Stadium, and his years as a manager for the Young Rascals. Throughout Sid's career, the biggest names in show business crossed his path. Sid also talks about some of the pitfalls of the promotion business - deals that soured, and entertainer foibles.

Sid Bernstein is a man who made it big as a promoter without cheating, lying, or backstabbing. Sid Bernstein is a gentleman.

"Not Just The Beatles" tells it as it was. I couldn't put it down. If you are a Beatles fan, a music lover, a musical researcher or historian, or are in the entertainment business, or if you just want to read a good story, then buy this book!

Thank you Sid for your wonderful life. Thank you Arthur for letting me relive it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just The Beatles, December 21, 2000
By Charles (Connecticut) - See all my reviews
Read this if you're a fan of The Beatles, read it if you like music, JUST READ IT! Learn about one of the greatest entertainment promoters that ever lived, with stories and facts never published or revealed before this long-overdue book, that's simply a pleasure to sit back and relish. Sid Bernstein wasn't just the man who brought The Beatles to America, he was the "Mensch" who brought The Beatles to America.
