Bill Harry

While there are certainly a few interesting nuggets in Bigger Than The Beatles, Bill Harry's look at the Liverpool music scene of the 1960's, the book is so poorly written, organized and typeset it is a massive struggle to plod through this slapdash book. It is essentially a collection of facts and stray quotes pulled in with no effort towards crafting a readable narrative. And there are long paragraphs of information lumped together which should surely be laid out in a table or list format, show more such as long strings of songs or concert dates and venues. Recommended only for rabid fans of the Mersey Beat era who have infinite patience. show less

I read this book back in the 80s, when I was a huge Beatles fan. Interesting stuff about their early career.
