Rating: Summary: Rachel O. Miller Place, NY Review: First of all - these interviews were never lost, just ignored for the marginal value they have.Second - Beatles? Hardly, except for press conference quotes and peripheral documentation. What's that leave us with in this "Lost Interviews" book? More collating and occasional primary work with questionable expert witnesses (Jo Jo Laine? AGAIN?) - and collation is the work of a clerk, not a scholar. I'd ask how this so-called, self-appointed "expert" Giuliano sleeps at night after ripping off unsuspecting Beatles fans, but given the volume of his "work", I'd say he probably sleeps VERY well off all that Beatle-money.

Rating: Summary: BEATLES FOREVER Review: I agree with other reader, that Jo Jo Laine's interview was quite revealing. It sure was a different slant than most books say in regards to Linda as a person. I didn't feel it was a slam to Paul. Some of the interviews mention that Paul's controlling but I feel his being such a perfectionist gives that impression. I would much rather have Paul a control freak than a whimp anyway. I certainly learned some things about John and Yoko's relationship and not all good either. I think its a good book at the very least it expresses what the people who were interviewed felt at the time and who are we to say it was any different.
Rating: Summary: HISTORY COMES TO LIFE IN THIS GREAT BOOK Review: I loved this well put together collection of interviews with the Beatles and their inner circle. Thank heavens for this book. These interviews are indeed historical and might well have been lost to time if it wasn't for the efforts of author Giuliano. A must read for all Beatles fans.
Rating: Summary: BEATLES FOREVER Review: Really liked it and took the time to say it here. What a GREAT writer / researcher Giuliano is! The group's not bad either...
