Now; by popular demand; in ebook version. A stunning new book showing how the Beatlesrsquo; song lyrics contain secret conversations between John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Varying between strong affection and outright hostility; these hidden messages clearly mirror the fluctuations the two Beatles were experiencing in their personal relationship at the time.The Beatles themselves have made only fleeting references to this troubled phase. Paul McCartney acknowledges what he calls the ldquo;song warsrdquo; period; confirming that; at the time; ldquo;I was really writing a lot of songs to John.rdquo; John Lennon meanwhile played down the negative tone of his messages saying ldquo;Irsquo;m entitled to call Paul what I want and vice versa. Itrsquo;s in our familyrdquo;

The research; interviews(asking intelligent questions; fortunately)and obvious respect Broven has for the subject and those he spoke with makes this a must-read for anyone interested in the independent labels and the fascinating men and women who founded and ran them.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Broven is a record maker himself!By JONNY-1 NYCOther than putting emphasis on his father-in-law; Clark Galehouse; Broven gets to the "nitty gritty" of the real independent record manufactuers in America. From the Renes and Mesners to the Chesses and Biharis to Art Rupe; (Arthur Goldberg); Lew Chudd; Herman Lubinsky; Syd Nathan; Ahmet Ertegun; Jerry Wexler and the long unheralded Bobby Robinson. Broven must have spent coutless hours on interviews and research to author this great effort in Americas Record Industry. From Irving Green and Burle Adams at Mercury to Eli Oberstein and Joe Carlton at RCA; he goes into great detail quoting George Avakian on the battle of the 45 RPM vs. the 33 1/3 LP. This is a must in any music historians library. He not only goes into manufactuers but distribution as well; thus the Milt Salistones and Jerry Blaines and Paul Glasss are not forgotten. A thorough researcher and to be commended for same.Expensive but worth the money; especially Ahmet Erteguns tale of discouraging Bobby Robinson to release: "Kansas City".If you really want to learn the history of the now obsolete or defunct independent record business; start here!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Answers the Question - Where Did All Those Early Rock Record Companies Come From?By Daddy DowahThis book is a MUST READ for anyone who has ever wanted to know about all the independent record labels of the early rock era and their origins. Mr. Brovens interviews with the pioneers of the independent record companies and some of the artists who appeared on their discs gets you "in the know" straight from the power horses mouths who made this emerging market happen. The appendices are also a wealth of interesting information. This well researched; meticulously put-together volume shows the love this author had for his subject matter and for the men and women who were the independent record makers and breakers.
