Reviews"The biggest, deepest Beatles book ever." - Rolling Stone "This beyond-essential dive into the Beatles' early Liverpool and Hamburg days is a wildly evocative portrait of our lads on the verge." - Entertainment Weekly "A fast-moving page-turner overflowing with warm humor, passion, and (of course) music...For anyone who loves music, this book is the genuine ultimate." - VH1.com "Astonishing...Lewisohn's masterful, step-by-step account raises the intriguing possibility that the Beatles' success was anything but foreordained ." - Bloomberg News "A definitive history of the band...Mr. Lewisohn's chronicle fills in vital details that had been missing from the existing Beatles canon and corrects mistakes that have been reprinted for years." - The Wall Street Journal "Lewisohn treats his subjects seriously, as historical, if ultimately remarkable, figures, and eschews the myriad myths that have grown up around the band in favor of the sorts of details and minutiae, wrapped in a serious but breezy narrative, that give us the fullest picture of who John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and, eventually, Ringo Starr were." - Esquire "Astounding.... packed with revelations and demystifications." - The Economist "[Mark Lewisohn is] arguably the most widely respected Beatles historian currently working, and his bona fides served him well -- not only in terms of gaining access to materials and interviews, but in obtaining the necessary perspective for a clear-eyed appraisal of rock's most beloved band." - CNN.com "These are the least documented, least known years in the Beatles' lives but in some ways the richest material, as Lewisohn shows John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Richy Starkey (not yet Ringo Starr) as wartime Liverpool babies who get inspired by American R&B, rock 'n' roll and skiffle records (the last played partially on washboards and tea chests) while becoming the first British generation in decades to avoid call-up to National Service." - Chicago Tribune "The choicest parts of the band's story are the early, pre-fame years, culminating with 1962. These are the hell-for-leather years, the period when a band from a grimy, bomb-scarred city--a city that didn't exactly turn out world-beaters--defied long odds and commenced a quest that has something almost preordained about it. In this book, which focuses on 1957 to 1962, Lewisohn picks up on that supernal feel to the Beatles' success, and at times his own wonder that all of this ever happened, with one amazing coincidence after another, feeds into our own...Lewisohn has a knack for underscoring the moment, the precise moment, when things change." -Slate.com "No half measures here: If you ever cast an eye toward Pepperland and wished for an epic Beatles bio, this sprawling tome would seem to be pure payoff." - The Boston Globe "The story is told so definitively that, after this, that really should be it...Lewisohn is a Beatles oracle." - The Guardian (UK) "I can think of no greater praise for Tune In than to say that it gives The Beatles the beginnings of the biography they deserve....gripping." - Financial Times "Unlikely to be surpassed as factual record...Once anointed 'Beatle Brain of Britain' while working in accounts at BBC Radio, Lewisohn amasses and investigates facts without sacrificing an iota of the excitement." - Telegraph (UK)

SynopsisNow in paperback, Tune In is the New York Times bestseller by the world's leading Beatles authority - the first volume in a groundbreaking trilogy about the band that revolutionized music. The Beatles have been in our lives for half a century and surely always will be. Still, somehow, their music excites, their influence resonates, their fame sustains. New generations find and love them, and while many other great artists come and go, the Beatles are beyond eclipse. So . . . who really were these people, and just how did it all happen? 'The Beatles story' is everywhere. Told wrong from early on, rehashed in every possible way and routinely robbed of its context, this is a phenomenon in urgent need of a bright new approach. In his series All These Years , Mark Lewisohn - the world-recognized Beatles historian - presses the Refresh button to relate the entire story as it's never been told or known before. Here is a full and accurate biography at last. It is certain to become the lasting word. Tune In is book one of three, exploring and explaining a period that is by very definition lesser-known: the formative pre-fame years, the teenage years, the Liverpool and Hamburg years - in many ways the most absorbing and incredible period of them all. The Beatles come together here in all their originality, attitude, style, speed, charisma, appeal, daring and honesty, the tools with which they're about to reshape the world. It's the Beatles in their own time , an amazing story of the ultimate rock band, a focused and colorful telling that builds and builds to leave four sharp lads from Liverpool on the very brink of a whole new kind of fame. Using impeccable research and resources, Tune In is a magisterial work, an independent biography that combines energy, clarity, objectivity, authority and insight. The text is anti-myth , tight and commanding - just like the Beatles themselves. Here is the Beatles story as it really was. Throw away what you think you know and start afresh.

Great Book
I bought this as a gift as I had already read it earlier in the year. It is an amazing book loaded with details on the beginnings of The Beatles. It lists source citations and the amount of work that went into writing it is incredible. A must for any fan of The Beatles or popular culture.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

The book I have been waiting for.
I've been waiting for this book for a long time. I have a lifelong interest in the early history of the Beatles, it's taken till now for someone to write the definitive story and this is it. Out of all the books I have read, (and I've read a lot) this is the one. the best, If early Beatles history interests you this is the only book you will need. It's the first in a trilogy so there is more to come.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
