Description:The intention of this book is to fine-tune facts, correct errors and shatter myths that have survived the decades since Billy Shepherds tome. Some of the conclusions are divergent or qualified, but all are the outcome of studying our transcribed interviews with key dramatis personae and, especially, wading through oceans of archive material - some of it quite obscure - because, in the context of this discussion, verbatim accounts recreate more of a feeling of being there. This is illustrated in Anthology. Unlike the taped reminiscences of Paul, George and Ringo, Johns were derived necessarily from media archives and are, therefore, unaf fected by turn-of-the-century hindsight.
