JPGR&B SUBS 28th Mar 2024		Book Michael Seth Starr - Ringo	Translation of Notes: Translation: In the 1960s, when Richard Starkey became known worldwide as Ringo Starr, the general public was unaware of the personal battles that the young man had already faced. Born in 1940 in Dingle, one of the busiest neighborhoods in Liverpool, the Beatle – who in 2018 received the honor of “sir” from British royalty – had a difficult childhood, marked by little schooling, serious illnesses and long hospital stays. Despite his classic discretion, Ringo was already considered the best drummer in Liverpool when John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison invited him to join the band The Beatles. Today, almost six

JPGR&B SUBS 16th Mar 2024		Book Various Authors - The McCartney Legacy Volume 1: 1969-73	From the publisher's website on 28 February 2022: The story of the Beatles has been told many times, covering all periods and perspectives. Paul McCartney’s work in the 50 years since the Fab Four’s breakup has been extraordinarily successful and enduringly popular – his 26 post-Beatles albums have sold upwards of 86.5 million copies; McCartney’s 2019 Freshen Up tour is the highest grossing in the world; and his last solo album McCartney III debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and number two on Billboard 200. Beside his extraordinary, creative solo output, he has collaborated with the most influential artists of his generation and the next: from Elvis Costello to Stevie Wonder, from Michael Jackson to Dave Grohl, even with Johnny Cash and Kanye West. McCartney, too, has explored new poetry styles with Allen Ginsburg and teamed up with Peter Martins and the NYC Ballet to create Ocean’s Kingdom. The list goes on from there. And he has done all this post-Beatles and while maintaining a mostly normal family life. Paul McCartney has lived ten lifetimes in the span of one and has remained as artistically driven and relevant as he has always been, yet curiously, his creative output since the Beatles has never had the full exploration such a life and body of work demands. The McCartney Legacy gives McCartney’s post-Beatles life and work the kind of in-depth treatment that Mark Lewisohn has given the Beatles, and Philip Norman has given John Lennon. It is the first truly comprehensive biography, and the most finely detailed exploration of McCartney’s creative life beyond the Beatles, ever undertaken.
JPGR&B SUBS 14th Mar 2024		CD Album Roger Hodgson - In The Eye Of The Storm	I approached Andrew Garver recently about his digitial remaster of the album, asking if he could remember when the remastering would have taken place. His response was "I don’t have an exact date for the re-issue of The Eye Of The Storm by Roger Hodgson, but I think it was around 1997. A&M was making a push to archive masters and part of that was to also re-release CDs. Hope that helps. Sorry I don’t have more information for you."

JPGR&B SUBS 1st Feb 2024		Book Various Authors - A Is For Apple: An Illustrated History Of The Beatles' Multimedia Corporation Vol. 4: The End Of The Beatles (September 1969 To April 1970)	From an e-mail from Apcor on 28 January 2024: A Is For Apple Volume 4 ended with the Beatles' break-up and our customers wondered when Volume 5 will be issued. We would like to inform you that the series has been put on hold for now. This is not to say there will not be a follow-up, but nothing's planned for the immediate future. We, the writers, think that Volume 4 was a good cut-off point to end this series and even though we may tell more of the Apple story in future, it might not be in the form of another volume in this series.

In Speaking Words of Wisdom: The Beatles and Religion, leading and emerging scholars from a number of fields (religion, music history, philosophy, sociology, etc.) explore the subject of religion in the Beatles' lives, music, reception, and legacy. There are chapters on religious life in Liverpool at the time the Beatles were growing up, how each individual Beatle understood matters of ultimate concern, the ways in which Beatlemania was a religious phenomenon, and how the Beatles’ authority has been religiously imagined in positive and negative ways since their breakup.
