I was given a copy of this book to review, and was really excited about it. The premise is looking back at the life of one of The Beatles' roadies, if he could go back in time and change things would The Beatles have stayed together. The book is really well researched and even has a timeline and possible discographies of the fictional albums that could have been. Most of the content is songs that would have been in solo projects and such. The whole book is a love letter to The Beatles and their fans, and it's easy to get sucked in and go right along for the ride. While there are are fights, and other things that trip up the band in the end there's a better vision of how it could have been thanks to a roadie who poured his life into the belief that The Beatles were at their best together.
