Excerpt from Mark Lewisohn's long-awaited Beatles bio, plus interview: Plus how to order
The Daily Telegraph has published a John Lennon-focused excerpt from, "Tune In," the first volume of Beatles historian Mark Lewisohn's massive three-part biography of the group.
Read it here. You also can see an interview with the author here.
It should be noted, Lewisohn's book comes in a few different editions. The U.S. version is out Oct. 29 in hardcover and on Kindle. In Britain, the book also is being released in hardcover and on Kindle, and in an much-expanded, 1,700-plus-page version that includes more text and notes. The regular hardcover edition runs close to 950 pages. So, if you're ordering from the States, the expanded version will cost you about $120.
Here's more info on the expanded version:
I'm a Beatles nut, obviously, and an admirer of Lewisohn's previous chronologies of the Beatles' career. But even I'm wondering if I can make such a long slog through the Beatles' pre-fame years.

This extended special edition of Mark Lewisohn's magisterial book Tune In is a true collector's item, featuring hundreds of thousands of words of extra material, as well as many extra photographs. It is the complete, uncut and definitive biography of the Beatles' early years, from their family backgrounds through to the moment they're on the cusp of their immense breakthrough at the end of 1962.That's a lot of dough and a lot of Beatles. But if you read the whole works, you will win every Beatles trivia contest, ever. Something to think about.
Designed, printed and bound in Great Britain, this high-quality edition consists of two beautifully produced individual hardbacks printed on New Langely Antique Wove woodfree paper, with red-and-white head and tail bands and red ribbon marker. The two books will sit within a specially designed box and lid featuring soft touch and varnish finishes. The whole product comes shrinkwrapped for extra protection.
Mark Lewisohn's biography is the first true and accurate account of the Beatles, a contextual history built upon impeccable research and written with energy, style, objectivity and insight. This extended special edition is for anyone who wishes to own the complete story in all its stunning and extraordinary detail. This is genuinely, and without question, the lasting word from the world-acknowledged authority.

The first pictures of Doctor Who: 1963
In celebration of the show's 50th anniversary, the BBC has posted some vintage pics of first Doctor Who actor William Hartnell and fellow cast members Carol Ann Ford (Susan, the Doctor's granddaughter), Jacqueline Hill (Susan) and William Russell (Ian).
The shoot took place in London at BBC Television Centre and the event was significant for another reason: It was the first time the four stars of Doctor Who’s first season had ever met!

Jackie Lomax, former singer of Liverpool's the Undertakers, died earlier this week. As a solo singer, Lomax was signed to the Beatles' Apple Records and benefited from some star assistance on his LPs, although none ever sold in great quantities.
Here's Lomax's version of George Harrison's tune "Sour Milk Sea," recorded in 1968. Harrison and Eric Clapton feature on guitar, Nicky Hopkins plays piano, Paul McCartney plays bass and Ringo Starr is on drums.
