From the publisher's website (www link as at 9 August 2021):

There’s a myth attached to A Hard Day’s Night: the Byrds adopted the 12-string guitar and transformed Mr Tambourine Man, Dylan went electric as a result, and a pattern of intense competition climaxed with the release in quick succession of Blonde on Blonde, Pet Sounds and Sgt Pepper.

A closer look tells us something different. Dylan’s electric Subterranean Homesick Blues preceded the Byrds’ version of Mr Tambourine Man, which owed just as much to the Beach Boys - whose epochal Pet Sounds came out a full year before Sgt Pepper.

Using timelines derived from release dates, studio sessions and personal encounters, What They Heard traces the paths of influence during a 3-year period when artists cross-pollinated via recordings, rivalry, rumours and drugs – changing music forever.
